I mean c'mon...
The 888RIS event is coming along nicely and before you know it, we'll be looking for something to ring in the magic day of 2009.
This time we brew on (or as close as possible to) 09-09-08 in order to swap, open and enjoy for 09-09-09. This gives a full year for the barleywine to ripen.
I'd suggest we (again) look to the Pastor for a recipe (IE - Water to Barleywine).
Just throwing out an idea, but I'm looking for a reason to brew a barleywine.
wow I thought it was brew ON 09-09-09, looks like I won't be participating in this one...kinda confusing.
Unfortunately one member had to back out because of proximity. (Average cost of $60 to ship). On the upside, this member now has $180 to invest in homebrewing.
Here is a distribution of swap members. No attempt was made to accurately depict city locations.

FYI - The worst case shipping would be a coast to coast. (VT to CA or MA to WA). In theses instances, a 13# package (about 6 - 12 ounce bottles) UPS ground shipping is $20.00.
On average, I expect shipping for a 6-8 (12-ounce) bottle package to be around $11-$16 each.
I'd given thought to dividing the country in half and reducing shipping distances, but I'm leaning towards leaving it as is. Thoughts?
I would leave it random. I would hate to see some dude in Vermont miss out on some fine California hooch, and vice-versa. What's with the blue star in NE by the way?

You're just hoping for a photo op in THAT thread!

If I ever get around to infecting something, I'm going to take it to my parents house first. Then infect it, age it, and bottle it there. Then leave all of that equipment there. And possibly shower before I leave.
I tapped mine this past weekend while brewing, it's DAMN GOOD... :rockin:
Now I need to untap it so I don't drink it all. My wife loves big beers and she said that this one was to much for her. At almost 15%abv I think I found her breaking point.
And that's the one reason I'm hesitant to try bugs.
I force carb and haven't bottle carbed in years.........but some people have tried dropping a single "grain" of dried notty in each bottle.
I haven't tried this, so take the advice with a grain of salt.
44 ounces is the minimum but if you want to ship a case to each recipient...that's fine too.
Oh can I get him for my swap?
I'm going to be doing the same thing. New bottles, caps and I have that same capper. It works great.
Yah... I forced the missus to watch some BS gay decorating show that I can't get enough of last night. *blargh*
