2012 Christmas in July Lotto

You'd be lagering by placing the container out in the yard at Mt Torrens.
Does the water still freeze in the pipes?
Cheers BB

[drsmurto]

No frozen pipes yet this winter but I do use the back verandah as an esky! Fire has been on since late April

[earle]

Jolly good show fella's, we got ourselves a game!
What time's this go off Earle???

6 days to go Sonny

[Sonny]

OMG! I think the good doctor has won with a no. 32 and the 3rd ball drawn.
Earle, am I correct?

If so Dr Smurto needs to send his address to each of us, and that's a hardy congratulations from me.

[hyjak]

Right so that means we all receive a beer from the Dr doesn't it? That is how this comp works right?

Congratulations, however this is also a win for those that entered.

Ummmm, results from Tatts.com.au show the balls drawn as 40 37 30 33 32 8 which would mean that emnpaul has won. What do you reckon Sonny? We're going to have enough results controversy with the olympics coming up.

[Sonny]

Oh, I probably accessed the incorrect site where they placed the numbers in actual numerical order (?) I guess.

Conrgats to emnpaul! Bad luck doctor, bummer dude!Next time, bloody close one though.

[big dave]

Good stuff emnpaul, your luck is in.

PM us your details and we will start firing them in!

[drsmurto]

Missed it by that much..... congrats emnpaul. Just kegged a vienna lager so will bottle one off for you. The bo pils is still lagering.

[emnpaul]

Wow, I can't believe it. I logged on Sunday night when I got back from picking up a POR rhizome and having a couple of brews at the top pub at Morpeth (which now brews on premises) to discover that Dr Smurto had had a long awaited and much deserved win in the beer lotto. Wait for the PM I think and move on.

Then...Woo Hoo. It's me.

Comiserations Dr. Smurto. Surely your number will come up soon.

PM's on the way people.

[Sonny]

Gee, looks like a ride to Morpeth is on.

I like Morpeth, it brings a man back to the reality in life.

[Sonny]

Double Post?

[rotten]

Congrats emnpaul. Good timing too, i just started to cc my latest kolschish brew ready for the keg and have about 4 ltrs too much.

I checked my email tonight and saw that a pm had arrived and thought it's me, I won wrong

[hyjak]

Message received!
Similar situation to rotten, just started to cc my latest batch so bottling is about a week away, will do a PET just for you.

[barrelboy]

Well done Emnpaul, you will love this. Have address and will post a brew (I trust you will fine to your liking) on Monday.
Cheers BB

[emnpaul]

Gee, looks like a ride to Morpeth is on.

Wasn't a bad beer or three at Morpeth and will get better as he's only been brewing since April. If you want to make the most of your trip the Bitter And Twisted Beer Festival Is On at Maitland Gaol on 3rd and 4th of November. Should be good.

Could Paul be actually hinting upon a Sydney and Novocastrian type "Homebrew & Beer Get together"???

[emnpaul]

Haha. No actually, the thought hadn't occurred to me. I was hinting that whilst the beer at the top pub at Morpeth was pretty good it might not be worth a special trip all the way from sydney. On the other hand if what the guys at work have said about Bitter and Twisted is accurate, then that would be worth the trip.

Now that you've gone and suggested it I'd be up for a HB&B get together. Yeah.

[Tipsy]

I don't normally give the winner a choice so you must be special Paul.

Got an APA or a Munich Dunkel that I added some roast barley and it could be more a Porter.

Choose carefully because I have to drink the one you reject.

[emnpaul]

Umm. I'll go the APA if you don't mind.

I reckon the Dunkel/Porter, or should that be Porkel, would go down pretty well on a Wonthaggi winters day, so drinking it shouldn't be too much of a problem.
