Well, I was in for the brew, and now I want to be in for the swap as well. I'll shoot a pm over to confirm.

I am going to make the brew and would like to be in on the swap as well, please count me in.

Brewsmith and Section1: Got it!
I have a question: Is (for each recipient) 2x 22oz or 3x 12oz too much beer? Do you think we're going overboard? Should I scale this back to 1x 22oz or 2x 12oz?
Your collective thoughts, please?
(Good point on shipping breakage, Brewsmith)

I think it's fine, especially to justify the shipping, and incase something does happen to one bottle. 2 22's or 3 12's sounds fine to me.

So we each send 1 bottle to 2 or 3 people? Or 2 - 3 bottles to 1 person? This is my first swap

Sorry, I'm not the most concise person either, I type like I talk - long and rambling!
It would be (2x 22oz bombers) or (3x 12oz standard bottles) to each of the 3 people that are on your list.
I will randomize people and generate the list sometime in March '08, which means if Joe Schmoe has an infected batch, he can just contact me and let me know that things didn't work out, and nobody will be "shorted" a batch of beer, instead he just won't be included in the distribution lists.
Also, I didn't make this clear in the original post, but I will be asking for shipping addresses at about the end of Febrewary. This is before I generate the distribution lists in March, and send them to each brewer no later than April 1, 2008.

As I mentioned earlier, I have cross-checked our "I'm In" list to see who is a Supporting Member and who isn't. As the current policy posted by olllllo indicates, you must be at least a Supporting Member to participate in swaps - this is because of privacy concerns, sharing home addresses, etc.
IF YOUR NAME IS ON THIS LIST... you are not currently in a status that permits you to participate in this swap! We'd love to have you though!!

Yuri's a Vendor, and before that, he was either a lifetime member or a premium member (can't remember which). I'll vouch for him

LOL, yeah, I didn't remove him from the list, because he's clearly SOMETHING besides new member. After all, gallery, user pic, custom title... all signs point to go. Just wanted to double-triple-check.

That sounds reasonable.
Are you sure you want my beer. I'm still in my first year of brewing and will be using a couple pounds of DME to make up for my 5gal MLT. I'd like to participate but I don't think I can match the quality that many of the brewers here are putting out.chriso said:IF YOUR NAME IS ON THIS LIST... you are not currently in a status that permits you to participate in this swap!

Well I'll probably still upgrade to supporting member before brew day. I have gotten alot out of this site, including what looks to be a great recipe from one of the masters.

Yessir, thanks again! I haven't had the chance to play with it yet, we had a local beer comp Sunday, and then registration for the upcoming one yesterday, so I've been busy with my fermentables!
I missed this thread until now. I want to play
I missed this thread, too (including discussion on my behalf...thanks bird!). I suppose my status here is "Lifetime Supporting Vendor" or something like that. Anyway, I'm in!
My Triple-8 will most likely be bottled in 16 oz aluminum bottles, but I'll make up the volume difference with an extra bottle.

Oh yeah...
And any deadbeats from prior (or current) swaps need not apply.
We ought to coordinate with Bird about any recent beerswap welchers and scrub the list.

Will the swap have any regionality to it? That could help with postage!

chriso said:That's a good idea... suggestions? Make a "West", "Central", and "East" zone? Go further than that?
It only cost me $12 to ship 4 12 Ouncers to CA from the Midwest.
I think the excessive cost comes from shipping from the four corners ...i.e Northeast to the Southwest
Maybe keeping it as simple as splitting the country down the middle will insure nobody spends over $15 in shipping.
I just hate to see it get too complex for the organizer (Chriso)

Maybe what could work is... I randomize just like we were planning to do.... then, before we make the list "final", I just visually check over it to make sure that nobody is shipping from Maine to south Cali, or from Washington State to Florida.... just a quick eyeball check for anything that seems excessively far...
Sound OK? It passes my KISS test

I just shipped three packages from California - two to Texas and one to Maryland. They were all basically the same price ~ $12 or so.

Why is it when I plug the AG recipe into BeerSMith I get IBU's of only 68 VS 88?

Update: I have changed the quantities of beer to be sent out for the Supporting Member swap. I have already updated the main post to reflect this. This is based off of information from prior swaps that have been conducted, and feedback to those swaps.
Prior to today, the agreement was to send (2x 22oz = 44oz total) or (3x 12 oz = 36oz total).
I am changing this to (2x 22oz = 44oz total) or (4x 12oz = 48oz total).
The reason that I am changing this is because the previous numbers were skewed too heavily in favor of those who send 12 oz bottles. That is to say, many people would be getting 8 "extra" ounces of beer, or would be getting "shorted" 8 ounces of beer. Choosing 4x12 selects a total ounce amount closer to the 22oz amount.
In other words, as the_bird usually puts it, "You will be sending out a minimum of 44 fluid ounces to three other individuals, and receiving back the same. To each person, you may send either a pair of 22ounce bombers, or four 12-ounce bottles."
I hope everyone is OK with this minor alteration. As I mentioned, I am making this change in order to operate as similarly to other HBT swaps as possible. Please PM me if you have any questions.
