A memorial beer for GreenwoodRover?

[IrregularPulse]

you want just the charcoal image? Like I said this is not my own image. I'd be happy to email you the xcf file if you use gimp. I am horrible with text. I'd love to be able to highlight it pop it, just don't know how.

 

[IrregularPulse]

Another go

I have to say i really like this one and will most likely use it on my own Tap Handle and bottles if this recipe happens.

Ok. I'm going to get this ball rolling although I may not be the lead organizer when all is said and done.

As such, I'm going to make some command decisions. The overall goal of these decisions is to ensure the success of the tribute beer, the labeling and the distribution.

I see that there will probably be beers going to 3 different groups.
1) Exchanges among HBTers
2) Gifts to Kevin's social club, The Greenwood Rovers.
3) Gifts to the family and friends.

We will have the option to send beers to 1 or all three.

I have made contact with someone within the Rovers and that will likely be the person that I will coordinate #2 with.

UncleMike https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f19/sa...drovers-family-131499/index3.html#post1483220 seems to be the person with which to coordinate #3. We'll likely send to one individual from that group and let them distribute.

The opinion right now seems to be swinging toward an ESB recipe and some label with a variant of the Cash avatar. These things are still up for discussion, but we will be deciding on this within a few days. There may be a need to create a different label for those in the #3 group, I don't know.

My #1 requirement for the labels is that we all use them. The packaging is very important. I would also like to see an area on the label that we all have the liberty to personalize with our own logos or at the very least our name or handle.

More to come.

 

[olllllo]

We're also going to target some hard dates.

Roughly speaking we should brew this by mid Sept at the latest. We need to have everything wrapped up by mid Oct, to beat any holiday crazyness.

I would prefer that all of the gifts (group #2, #3) be shipped within the same week timeframe and not trickle in.

I just caught up on these threads after a few days... kind of hits home. Consider me in for the brew. I will raise a glass to a fellow brewer.

I would propose a rear label or neck band for personal information, thus leaving the main label consistent.

 

[bernerbrau]

I probably can't get to another brew until the second week of September. I don't keg so I would also need additional time for bottle conditioning :\

 

[IrregularPulse]

Rules look good to me OlllllO. For the HBT handle and/or logo, I'd recommend Back label for that. (LGI beat me to it) along with a written excerpt about a fallen brother and beer. LGI had volunteered this, just awaiting his chance to drink enough to bring forward his poetic sappiness.
I'll p[ost a rough idea of a back label to accompany my front label.

 

[Hugh_Jass]

I'm in. Thanks for taking the point, ollllo

 

[bernerbrau]

If we all sent 6-12 bottles in to one person, they could then mix and match beers and send them out to the various intended recipients. Seems a little easier and cheaper than everybody shipping out beers to 6-12 different recipients.

This doesn't disqualify you. It's a target right now that will be determined by the participants. As the organizer i need to create a sense of urgency about getting this done and getting it done right.

People sending to groups #2 and #3 will be shipping to one recipient.
Group 1 will be handled like any other exchange. Usually 3.

The most you would be on the hook for under that scenario is 5 packages.

It will be opt in for #1, #2, #3.

I see. I haven't done an exchange before, so I didn't realize there were rules already in place. Just trying to be helpful.

 

[shecky]

I'm in, contingent on having some help with the labeling thing. Never done it before. Thanks again, ollllo.

I would think that it could be arranged that packages for #2 and #3 go to the same address to save on shipping costs. And if the price of shipping is keeping enough brewers from participation, the group exchange could be reduced to two.

Any way it goes, I'm in. Thanks for taking charge olllllo.

Yes, I just reached that conclusion.
You will also be able to opt in for 1 to 3 exchanges.
The proviso is that I may need to draft 1 or 2 folks to make up for any odd beers and drop out contingencies.

 

[IrregularPulse]

Idea for back label, Ghosted Furnace Room logo can be substituted for your logo and/or HBT name. I will be using my logo without handle.

 

[olllllo]

To recap, there will be an effort to make option #2 and #3 a single shipping point. I'm keeping the options distinct at this point to reflect our intent, although that may also get merged.

Interested folks.

Fill out this form: Greenwood Rover Tribute Beer Exchange and Gifting.

It may not be the final version, but we need the info ASAP.

 

[IrregularPulse]

Here's the frame if anyone wants to create a more family friendly label to go along with the ones I've used if they are liked.

Honestly, I'd just use the fish pic for that one.

submitted. Nice form

Tried, twas far too small to keep decent quality. I guess someone could resize everything else to fit it though

I really dig that. Nicely done!

I just found this thread thanks to some help from one of my friends. I did a little research and found that Kevin was one of my very first customers. The sixth person to ever order from me. As a father and husband to have something like this happens really hits home for me.

In his honor I have used his account and loaded his recipe into the Brew Builder and shared it for everyone. I have also pledged to donate all of the proceeds from this recipe to his wife and children.

This has been by far the most difficult post I have ever written.

That is F'ing cool!!!!!

You are the Man! I'll be ordering this up. And I have to say, You're website is by far the best layout I've seen for putting together an order and even editing existing recipes! Not to mention your apparent awesome crush made me overshoot my first recipe with you by 5 points! Not that I'm complaining for a porter

It could be interesting if we all started with the EXACT same ingredients. And the proceeds going to Kevin's wife and family, that's just an amazing offering.

 

[Revvy]

I keep tearing up thinking at how amazing all of your are!

Ed...wow that's such a nice thing you have done.

We had discussed being able to sub yeasts if desired n the spirit of homebrewing, but I wouldn't have a problem stick to his recipe 100% either. I was going to try a Belgian yeast.
