Fellowship of the Drink Trading Thread

[imasickboy]

I see a couple of participants that still have a 0 for iTrader feedback. Could those of you that received from these guys please leave some feedback for them? It'll make it easier for them to be involved in future trades. Cheers!

 

[Scturo]

Is there anyone still waiting on a shipment?

 

[JDXX1971]

Hey, are we all squared away with Round 1?

If so, let's get Round 2 going.

Count me in.

 

[tjosborne]

I'd do this again.

 

[afro_lou]

Yeah, round 2!!!

 

[nickfern]

I think a new thread should be started for Round 2. Makes it easier to follow and the Round 1 thread should be linked in the OP.

As long as round two is also linked here so I can be sure to find it.

Scturo, I would have loved to have joined in but being somewhat new here I didn't feel it would be fair until I am able to add more to this community.

I just wanted to say thank you for this excellent idea. I'm a regular in a non-beer forum where we do have an ongoing beer appreciation thread (for around 5 years now). I took your idea to the guys there and we're about to do this very same beer share, but without the glassware. Hopefully it'll go as well as this one seems to have gone.

Maybe down the road I'll join in here if this continues.

Cheers!!

Thanks, I'm just glad that things have gone as smooth as they have so far. I think you are good to go, anytime you want to join us. Hope your other raffle goes well, Cheers!

It's hard to argue against this! As offered earlier in the thread, I'll help out and run this round.

Here is the timeline I'm leaning towards -- If anyone sees an issue with this, please let me know:

November 21st - Create thread for Round 2 (and link here, of course)
December 8th (Thursday) end-of-day - All photos & final submissions due
December 11th (Sunday) Morning - (Optional) Preference/pick list submitted
December 11th (Sunday) TBA - Drawing occurs


To make things a bit cleaner/easier/more fair, I'm recommending the following changes:

• Each offering should be 2-4 cans or bottles of commercial beer, at least one of which would ideally be local
• Each offering can additionally contain homebrew (optional)
• During the raffle, a submitted picklist will be followed after 3 minutes unless you request otherwise
• Each raffle pick must be submitted within 30 minutes or the pick rotates to the end of the queue

If anyone objects to any of these, please say something - ideally everything will be sorted before the new thread goes up!

 

[gromitdj]

I would like to be included in round 2 as well.

I like the changes. Would you remove the glassware component? That was one of the things I really enjoyed about the first run.

Nope. I agree - the glassware is a neat component, even if it does complicate shipping a bit.

 

[nickfern]

I like the ideas put forth so far. I would keep the glassware as well. It is a nice wrinkle and differentiates this from just a traditional beer swapping thread.

 

[PaulR]

What are your requirements for participating in this?

 

[RevKev]

I'll be in for round two, I'll get my offer together closer to the date but I'm thinking it will be a crowler of a Grimm sour. I just found out I get % off shipping for being a member of American Chemical Society, FTW.

 

[RevKev]

What are your requirements for participating in this?

Requirements were posted on Page 1 or 2. Included post count and permission from one who is running the thread if you are newer to HBT and some other quirks

 

[DrFun]

I'm in. I am relatively new to the forums though...so yea, hopefully I make the cut.

 

[PaulR]

I read through the whole thread and didn't see anything stating specific posting requirements. I saw where they denied someone else the last time because he had just joined and only had 1 post, but no set requirements. Did I just miss it?

 

[Thorrak]

Basically, just to be on the safe side it's "be an active participant in the community". Generally, that means have more than a certain number of posts over a certain stretch of time. Unfortunately, I don't think you're quite there yet, but perhaps in time for round 3!

Oh man, do I love me some Grimm ales.

 

[PaulR]

Will do, sounds like a lot of fun. Thanks!

I did not put the post count requirement in the initial rules. I did mentioned it after denying the new poster. Basically, we want to make sure everyone joining the raffle will follow through with their offers. One way is to require that posters be active contributing members of the forum. Not just someone creating an account trying to score a hard to get brew. The specific requirements of this round are up to the OP. I don't think they will be too different.

 

[PaulR]

Thanks Scturo,
I will work on increasing my post count so that I can try to get in on the next one.
Paul

 

[RevKev]

I'll see if I can get 750's if not crowler will do. I love Grimm too. So so good, don't know where there distribution reaches though.

Not in NJ, next state over. Have to travel to and from in hopes of finding a can/bottle.

 

[jerbrew]

Is round two of this starting? Is it in this thread or a new one? I'm in either way.

 

[PaulR]

Any chance of me getting in now...?

 

[afro_lou]

[Thorrak]

Ladies and Gentlemen - It's time for Round 2!

The thread has been posted, if you're interested in participating, please post there.

Once again, good luck, and happy drinking!

 

[pointcity-homebrew]

@Thorrak did you receive the shipment yesterday?

 

[Thorrak]

@Thorrak did you receive the shipment yesterday?

I might have -- I've been out of town for the past few days and just got back at midnight last night. I'm guessing everything is locked in my apartment lobby waiting for me to get home this evening. Looking forward to it!
