Thanks for hosting a giveaway! Good luck to everyone! A nice holiday surprise!

5 gallons hoppy pale ale 5 gallons peach pie sour =6,773.5

I'm going to have to hold off until after the New Year. I need to ship out my series of beer for the 12 Beers of Christmas thread. I'll be back in here soon enough though. Just kegged up my hoppy pale ale this morning. Under burst carb right now for a bit.

Hoping to ship out in the next week or two. Life has been crazy! Have a safe and happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate!

I have looked into those before. I'm going to attempt to get in on the next one. I think the sign ups haven't started yet?

I'm interested in doing a swap again but would like to do that with someone a little farther away. I think @rsquared is in Sacramento which is in my neck of the woods.

@CKuhns this is a really nice collection of guidelines here. Thank you! Since this is my first attempt at both mead and adding fruit to it, I wanted to avoid any issues with seeds and the like giving off negative flavors. Cinnamon apple tastes pretty good already. Again, I split the three total...

Always looking for more opportunities to share and receive beer!

I would be interested in participating in this!

Edit: How long can I leave the following in secondary: cherries, apples/cinnamon, mixed berry.

@mjasinski30 take this opportunity to buy yourself some tubing for a blowoff setup. You may need it in the future, but otherwise, everything @Abhishek Dewan said is right!

I'm pretty sure that's the same fridge I've got. Or at least VERY close. Works well to me! Of course I still want a 6-tap keezer, but we need to move for that!

@TBC when will we lock in all the participants and prepare for shipment? Any ideas on pulling a few other people for the West Coast group?

Really sorry for your loss @gunhaus. We'll catch you in the 2021 thread! Looking forward to swapping with everyone else soon!

My batch of brews has been done for a little bit. Had a bit of a life change and moved 2 states away for a couple months. I'll be back home at the end of September, but I'm still ready to ship all my beers out when the time comes! Looking forward to swapping with everyone!

Bump for @HopsAreGood. Anyone around to fill a box for him?

Makes a lot of sense. Thank you!

Thanks for the info. I assumed it was generally a one stop addition or smaller additions totaling a set amount. Always learning new stuff. Thank you!

I've been giving the bucket a small rotational jostle each day to release some of the CO2 from the liquid. I'll add some more nutrients today. I added a little around 2-3 days ago and it dropped the SG 5 points so that seems to help. Thanks for the info on the ABV limit. Is there a reason you...

Started my first mead a couple weeks ago. Fermentation seems a little slow and I'd like to know how to speed up the process to keep the yeast healthy. I've added a small amount of Wyeast Wine Nutrient Blend twice and activity seems to perk up post-addition. Should I just keep adding a bit of...
