OK, I'm moving the conversation on Beerswapping here.
Who's all interested in trading beers, and what do you have to trade? Counting on everything going well, I'll have Caramel Vanilla and Kolsch ready in a couple of weeks, and Pumpkin before Christmas.
Let's make a couple of simple rules. It goes without saying that money should never trade hands. A beer for a beer is fair, no matter what the beers in question.
1. Anyone who trades has to take criticism as mere opinions on how to improve and are not personal digs. I'm hoping to get good tasting notes from you guys so that I make it better next time. Hope we can keep it civil.
2. Taste your beer before agreeing to trade it. If it tastes bad, simply state that you're not satisfied with the quality.
3. While it should end up even, let's not make problems. If someone sends you two beers and you intend on sending two, but one sucks, just send one with an IOU.
4. Everything shipped 2-3 day. Fair?
5. Don't ship until it's ready. That means at least 3 weeks in the bottle.
6. Broken bottles are no one's fault. If the sender feels like sending a make-good, that's them being generous but shouldn't be demanded or expected.
7. Send the recipe, either in the shipment or via e-mail. This will save a lactose intolerant person from making an enemy. This also allows me to make your beer if I like it.
Are these rules fair? Anyone have anything else they'd like to add? Let's keep this fun and useful.
