@camonick your package arrived today in one piece. Can't wait to dig in!

On a related note, I love the labels! I'd l love to hear how you got them done!

Cheers!

 

[JCasey1992]

Forgot the photo.

 

[camonick]

I design the labels on Inkscape and print them on standard paper with a high quality laser printer. They are glued on with a homemade gelatin based waterproof glue. A soak in hot water and they will slide right off. I hope you enjoy.

Cheers!

We have beer!!! @JCasey1992 ’s package arrived today and they are headed to my beer fridge where they will await their fate. Your bottle caps are really cool and I like the labels.

Got a nice pack from @TBC yesterday. The super session was a great suprise, and the lemondrop wheat ipa is very good.

To all those interested, here's an unbeatable offer for you : ) ...organic, hand plucked, hand processed apricots (I bear several scars now from being stabbed and sliced open by the pits...apparently that IS a thing, ughhhhhhhh).

They have been pitted and sorted, and frozen so each bag is just the fruit, skins, and juice. They are suitable for brewing but not much else given that they are quite small and they ranged from just under ripe to just over ripe. There is not a ton of fruit, but there is a lot of skin flesh and a bit of juice...you'll get plenty of apricot flavor (I've done it this a few times with small, otherwise useless fruit). Anything on either side of the ripeness scale got tossed.

Here's how it works...

I have three bags, so the first three individuals to claim a bag get them (PM your address; I ain't coming to look for you). I'll cover shipping...you trade with beer; it would be nice to get one made with the apricots, but I really don't care either way. One beer, two beers, ten beers...again, I don't care.

Bag 1 - 5lbs
Bag 2 - 3lbs
Bag 3 - 3lbs

You can only claim one bag!
