Glad they arrived safely, and hope you enjoy my version....figured it would be neat to do a side-by-side. I think your recipe was a much bigger beer than mine was, so it will be an interesting comparison.

Got shipments from @passedpawn and @Easycreeper , nice touch passed on including the beer smith recipe, and those are pretty nifty boxes.

Phew! Glad it survived!

I added my tracking numbers to the google doc if anyone's interested. There are a handful to be delivered today/tomorrow.

@Fedora ;) Here is a picture of my motorcycle.

My boxes went out today...santa on his way in the big brown sled.

Maybe whoever runs this next year should update the first post (if they copy and paste from the previous year, like I did). I had an estimate of $120 in there, and we exceeded that this year being one box short, so if you got a full crew, depending on the spread, it might actually be closer to...

Nice, good call to include that for people interested in the future. Good call. Mine was within a few bucks, at about $122 total, also UPS ground. Good points of reference for folks getting into this in the future so no one's surprised.

Another successful receipt. Impressive job on the packing there. What's with the X on one cap of the weizen?

Bottled and labeled, getting boxed up tonight.

Bottled the whole keg of gruit last night, shipments will go out this week. ..just have to throw together some labels.

Got my first shipment, from @TBC ! Everything arrived safe and sound, looking forward to trying it!20171121_112246 by Auger posted Nov 21, 2017 at 11:30 AM

I force carb in the keg, then bottle off the keg. In your case I'd probably do the same in order to ship finished beer, vs. shipping beer that will have to bottle condition for a week or two after receipt.

I would chill the bottles in a fridge, but don't freeze them. If the beer is at or near enough to freezing temp and the bottles are below, you may have some issues with the beer freezing as it comes off pressure and hits the cold bottles.

When you say conditioning slowly, is it actually coming along, or is it really just completely flat? As long as it's progressing, I'd say ship them...there's still a few weeks to go, get them someplace relatively warm to push it along and check again after Thanksgiving to see how things look...

I'll send a link now.

Awesome, thanks! We're back to 11. PM me your shipping address when you get a chance.
