2012 Easter Lotto

[Marty]

Congrats Barrelboy, I am very jealous. I think I will send you an Amber Ale and and a Stout. I also have a Brown Ale if you would prefer that?

[drsmurto]

Congrats on the win barrel boy. Jealous. Yet to win one.

I'll rustle up something tasty and send it to you once I get your address.

About to bottle a rauchbier if you're up for something to challenge the tastebuds

[barrelboy]

Hadn't realized I'd won until now, fantastic, absolutely over the moon . Oboy this is excellent. I'll send emails post haste and thanks for congrads. Marty your first offer sounds great.
Cheers and yahoo BB.

[barrelboy]

Still excited, have sent address via system, trust you get it ok as had some difficulty ganging the names together using my " smart" phone.
CheersBB

Haha, yes. A bloody good offer for those that forgot!

[barrelboy]

Sonny, have received your, now mine, Scharls Lager in good condition and have placed in the beer fridge for weekend drinking.
Looking forward to it and thanks.
Cheers BB

Will be a bit of a delay in me sending brews but have a few earmarked for postage, an Earle's S&W, Mild Amber and if I get time to brew it there will be another ale.

[aydanrogers]

I've got an earles s&w bottled but I have an amber ale in the fermented that I'm waiting on. Then I will send them both to you.

Hey BB, stocks are getting low, but here is what I have....

Subterranean Homesick Ale (attempted SNPA), BIAB APA, 5.6%, Amarillo and Cascade. Sent one to Earle after the last draw, and he didn't hate it....

Vasodilator Stout (attempted Coopers Stout), K&B from 20 months ago, 5.3%. Perhaps a bit thin, but tastes the way I like stout to taste.

OR, if you want to hang on a bit, I have all the kit together for a BIAB Dr Smurto's Golden Ale, which I will knock out when I have a minute or two. Should be ready to send by mid May, and ready to drink (if not completely clear yet) by the end of May.

What would you like?

[barrelboy]

Thanks Big Dave, love to try your stout, at 20 mths I suspect a nice drop, yum
Cheers BB

[Tipsy]

Hi BB, Congrats.

I'm waiting to taste test my latest before deciding what to send.

[barrelboy]

Thanks Tipsy, no problems and look forward to what ever you decide.
Cheers BB

[barrelboy]

Opened Sonny's Scharls lager yesterday. An excellent refreshing drop. Lovely aroma and hop aftertaste. Very drinkable and could have gone more but only one in the box Sonny .
Good gas on opening, poured well with good head retention. Thanks.

Cheers BB

[Sonny]

Very pleased that it was enjoyed Barrelboy!
The Scharls is discontinued now, but beefed up a bit turned out to be a nice drop.

[big dave]

Stout's in the mail today. Hope it goes down ok!

[barrelboy]

Thanks Big Dave, I'm sure it will be a top drop.
Cheers BB

Finally managed to unpack my box of beers bottled for lottos. I ended up shifting quite a few cartons of brew from the Whitsundays to Toowoomba with only one casualty.

barrelboy, the choices are
Golden Ale
my Black Sheep clone
Weizen (partial)
Belgian Brown

The weizen is a current favourite of mine but I will need to get brewing.

[barrelboy]

Love to sample your Black Sheep clone thanks Earle.
Cheers BB
Ps. I hate unpacking, sympathy to the Earle household.

[earle]

No worries, will try to post tomorrow.

[drsmurto]

Ah, since everyone else is doing I'll offer you choices, afterall it's a democracy, not a dictatorship.

1. Stubby of an oak aged imperial stout, 12 months in a keg with oak, almost 12 months in the bottle.
2. 750 mL of rauchbier (smoked lager), yet to be bottled but has been lagering for >3months.
3. A nice fresh mild, 750mL 3.5% with very subtle amounts of EKG and cascade. The plus is you'll end up with WY1469 as the yeast at the bottom of the bottle. Also, yet to be bottled.
