No swap required, just show up and take a box! If you'se really want to pay for them I will accept a bottle of homebrew or you could make a donation to the club.  :D

Good point Padraic. I must get cracking on the design!  8)

I'd recommend you set aside a few regular 500ml bottles as well. Not only because it's good to practice using your capper but also you'll no doubt hand bottles out to friends and you'd never see the flip top again.  :P
Title: Re: Flip Tops
Post by: Brew_Diva on June 11, 2013, 08:20:02 PM
Ok definitely. Well put.
So idea is to only bring flip tops to people if am gonna supervise and participate in drinking the beer and bring the bottles home with me again!!

The 500ml bottles are great I tend to keep them whenever I have them at the house. don't have that many at the moment though. I think a shopping trip might be in order   ;)

Hi Thomas

Looks like I'll be ready for a few flippy tops sooner than I thought. Am up to 5.9% vol this am after only a week, as because I'm not doing a secondary fermentation am probably going straight to bottles within the week to allow it to finish off in the bottles.

I have a handful so might do a few trial ones in the next few days for some practise

Do you still have a few handy that I could pick up from you in the coming days :) ?

Went in to see Dave on Thurs he was very nice so fingers crossed  :-)

I'm off this week and next on holidays but I've some stashed away, just ask one of the beerhall staff and tell them I sent you. I threw a few  regular 500ml bottles in too so ask for those as well.

Also if anyone needs Duvel bottles there's a box of those there as well.

That's fantastic Thomas you're a star, I'll  pop in in the next couple of day.
Thanks again

I'm not sure how but they all managed to fit into one car, along with the rest of my stuff.

I've one more shift tonight at work so I'll see how many I can foist on customers one last time.  :P

Another box of about 16 in the B&C. Leave a tip.  :P

Post by: irish_goat on September 28, 2013, 01:22:29 PM
Lads I was in the B&C yesterday and there's the guts of 30+ bottles there (took about 20 myself). They're all in a German beer crate at the minute so you might be able to brass neck it and ask for that as well.

Also try the Metalman Smokescreen.

Post by: Brew_Diva on September 30, 2013, 07:45:46 PM
heyo
Is Metalman Smokescreen a new Beer?

How are things up North?  :)
Title: Re: Flip Tops
Post by: irish_goat on October 01, 2013, 08:47:56 AM
Yeah Smokescreen is their new dark beer. It's nice, a lot easier drinking that the likes of Schlenkerla.

Things are all good up here, got a new mash tun delivered to me last week along with cornies, mill and grains (thanks CH) so will be doing a batch this Friday hopefully.  :)
