Yep the BIAB trade works. PM me with what you want (cooler bag, classic bag, premium bag - I'm assuming premium?) and your measurements.

I'm a game time decision for a pop in this year, but I'll throw in $5 for a couple sausages in case I can make it. Who's collecting?

I'm still in, but I don't think I specifically said I wanted sausages, which I do :D
This is my signature. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

So I borrowed a ball lock keg for my beer. Should I grab a picnic tap or is there room somewhere else for this keg to be dispensed from?

Well I think I may have waited too long to post this. I have been a lurker more than a poster around here, but I've been keeping my eye on this event.

I've never attended a Brewnosers event and I was hoping to make this my first one. I would love to bring a keg of IPA (I'll bring my CO2 and picnic tap) and talk shop with you fine folks and finally meet some of you in person. I've been looking forward to an opportunity like this to make some connections in the local homebrewer world and to talk to some people who are as obsessed with this stuff as I am.

I understand Mr. X has limited space, but I'd love to be a bit less introverted, so if there is space, I'd love to come and my wife is a maybe.

Cheers!

Ugh! I so want to go to this!! Instead I will be reroofing my garage. :(

I better see LOTS of pics, in process.. videos, the whole social media experiance for us displaced Brewnosers! If I don't see X laying on the kitchen floor by the end of it, I'll be dissapointed! :lol: :cheers2:

Enjoy folks, this event is the best homebrew meeting (ok it's a party!) in Canada.

If you want to use a smaller glass, it might be a good idea to grab something at the dollar store, or wherever.

They have some nice pub style taster glasses, 2 per pack or something. That's what I use. :cheers:

ustream would be great!

Also, somebody should take some 'walk around talking to people' videos at the beginning and near the end, they'd be hilarious! :lol:

Are you looking to broadcast from a PC/laptop to a bluetooth-compatible receiver? All I've got, I think, is a bluetooth receiver (bluetooth in, audio cable out).

Not critical, but would be nice. China is taking longer than usual this time...
