@jerbrew that Plum Gose looks tasty!
This thread and the easy MAW sound like really great ideas. I can't wait to participate when I get enough posts. I've been a casual viewer and information gatherer up until this point. But I think I'll step up my game so I can partake in the fun.
I’ll take my chances and trade with you lol.It's all good. I'm not in any hurry. I'll keep doing my work on the posts and if the thread gets stale, maybe I can offer some assistance.
Thanks guys.
@Rick91981 Looks like your up. Location and beer styles.
To be honest, it’s setup in a way that should negate the reason for post count. The next person in line mails beer to the person who granted last. They don’t get their grant sent to them until the one they sent out gets verified as received.
In NY. Tri-state area so anyone outside of NY/NJ/CT can grant. As other have stated, post count does not really matter. IPAs are my favorite, but also love stouts, porters, etc. Anything other than sours/funky beers works for me.
I’m next to you in PA. If no one grants you in a day or two I will get it. I’m planning on hitting a couple breweries this weekend.

If I’m next afterRick91981 does this mean I need to ship him beer? If so, PM me address if you interested in MS or LA beer.

I will get these shipped this weekend!
I want in on this. Who’s next to be granted?
Rick91981 Tracking info sent! Should have around the end of the week!
@jturman35 has provided the tracking info. Since he has over 100 posts, I believe the rules state he is eligible now before I receive the package. Others may want to chime in with their opinions though.
Knowing what I known now about shipping cost the min should be more than 48oz. It cost me $17 just to ship 76oz. Seems like a waste to spend $12-$15 to ship 4 beers?
I think 72oz should be the new min!
By the rules, he would require trade rating to skip the step of you receiving your beer before the next person ships to him.
The minimum was likely so that people could still take part without spending a fortune on beer and shipping combined. That said, many of us have sent quite a few more ounces than the minimum requirement.
I’ve found that setting up a FedEx home account and printing the label prior to dropping off at a FedEx location provides me with the best pricing.

Do you package in your own box, or do you use one of FedEx's flat rate boxes?
My own packaging, which is usually comprised of Amazon packaging or other beer trade packaging that I’ve collected. Reuse as much as possible as the cost of packaging at the store is expensive.
I would expect flat rate packaging would cost more. On FedEx site, when preparing shipping label, I have the option to choose what type and enter the packaging dimensions and weight. For most shipments, unless you can ship to the persons work, I choose FedEx Home Delivery with my own packaging as the option.
According to tracking, I should receive my package from @jturman35 on Friday. Will update when I get it.
Absolutely. Always do!Update, post picks, and leave trader feedback!!
