Thanks. I think the small box inside a big box idea is a good one I'll try that and I'll go look for that sticky.
The one time I did it I used a insulated box (Sheris Berrys that I found) then zig zagged some cardboard to keep the bottles apart and stuffed plastic grocery bags around them to keep anything from moving. Survived from VA to MO. I have seen it shipped with the bubble wrap, bagged, then put in a box full of packing peanuts and survive. The big question is how bad of shape was the outside of the box upon arrival. Anything you can do to cushon th bottles from hitting each other or the outer walls of the box during transit are usually the best idea, even double boxing.
Drinking a Dr Pepper with my BLT lunch. Is this week over yet?

Btw. Anyone have tips on removing carbonic bite from a keg? I was away and somehow the C02 levels increased too much and the beer is a bit over carbed. The bite is pretty unpleasant in the aftertaste.
Did you just wrap and stick in a box without other padding? Best is padding on all sides, top & bottom, plenty of bubble wrap, and ensure that there is a box that is slightly larger than you need so there's no cramming.
Here is the link to the tutorial Patricia mentioned.

Have you bled the keg a bunch? Supposedly it fades over time. How did the CO2 increase BTW?

No lol sorry! Honest mistake. I work with a Patricia and I've had to type her name a lot today. It was an unintended but mildly amusing mistake. I am sorry though.
Patrick...I know your user name.
Water..bt dubs.

hahahaha! sorry Patrick but that cracked me up.
I lined all sides of the box with bubble wrap and the bottles with bubble wrap.

No worries.
Coke.... But still confident that the beer will be particularly tasty tonight.

The keys are to wrap the bottles completely, keep everything packed tightly together (because the box will get tossed around and if the bottles shift and bang into each other it's all over) and keep everything wrapped in watertight containers. Three 12oz bottles wrapped with smaller bubble wrap fit very tightly in a one gallon ziplock bag. The box in a box method is great too - gives you insurance if the outer box gives any.
All that said, sometimes they drive a truck over it or ram it with a forklift and you're screwed.
Having some water after taking a walk on the trail around the office. Ran across these guys!

Haha, sorry, but perfect use of using your words out of context... reminds me of a certain SNL skit.
Directions for packaging beer:
1. Cut a hole in a box
2. Put your junk in that box
3. Close that box.

I try to bleed the keg about every 6 hrs or so. The force it comes out with does seem to be getting weaker.
My tank was getting near empty, and apparently I turned the dial too far. I just couldn't tell and it slowly increased to 12 psi which is pretty high on my system.

Hmm weird. I would just try to keep bleeding it because that is all the info I've got.
Water. Back to the BJCP studying later tonight. At this rate, I may end up ready for that September exam if I end up getting a seat. Hah. But I'll definitely be ready for the one in December where I'll more than likely have a seat.

Cherry wheat. Gotta go to my son's cub scout family picnic in a bit. Then it's back onto beer during my fantasy football draft.

All the great brews you all get and it is that damned yuengling that makes me jealous. I was right though... Hopkilla is especially good today. A coors would have been good enough. I needed the beer I finally got.
