Fellowship of The Homebrew VII: Kegs of Fury

[Scturo]

Thanks for the warm welcome TwistedGray! I have been looking through all of the past FOTHB trades over the last few months and am super excited to finally be taking the plunge and getting involved!

One question though... It says "Minimum offerings are 4-12oz bottles of your favorite Home brew; ANY beer style along with ciders, meades, hard lemonades, sours, etc."

Is this 1 bottle per style for a grand total of 4 bottles per shipment or 4 bottles per style for a grand total of 16 bottles? I have a pretty strong hunch about the answer but I figured I should be sure before I send the wrong amount.

I look forward to getting involved in this trade and future trades with you guys!

Cheers!
Casey

It’s a minimum of 4 - 12oz bottles total, of as many styles that you have. People can, and do send more. Check out some previous rounds to see what was sent.

That's what I thought. I've got several things I'd like to share. Just not sure if I can match the creativity of previous offers.

Regardless, I can't wait to see what awesome brews you guys have to offer!

Cheers!

Count me in this round. This homebrew turned out nicely! Now I need to get off my butt and bottle some of these homebrews for the lucky person. Cheers!

Wow. I remember the 7 (8?) person roun. This is awesome.

Also, I am for four bottles being four bottles of any amount if styles. If you brewed three good ones and two ‘practice’ ones you do not have to debate putting in beer you don’t want to versus joining.

Of course you can also drop a bottle of not as good in and ask for feedback. I don’t turn down free homebrew

I'm all for mediocre or "bad" homebrew as long as it's not toxic. I've brewed my fair share of mediocre and dumpers and learned from them. Don't mind learning someone

A truly happy day when more here then FotD. That has nothing to do with me starting the thread!

In the mean time...wondering why I'm slowing down on the FotD thread? AND I'm the only HB drinker in the family. Two of those are my 6gal yeast "Starters" for much bigger beers...I have no problem, right?

I haven’t had a chance to convert it to a magnet yet. I have the sheets of magnets with an adhesive side. When I have enough stickers to fill a sheet, I’ll slap them on, cut them out and place them on the kegerator/fermentation chamber. This way if it dies on me I don’t lose my collection. That already happened once.

Sticker hack!

Yeah, mine died 3 weeks ago, just got new one, but i moved kegs to root cellar...48 degrees in wisconsin during Jan, so still had pucnic taps to enjoy homebrew

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

Speaking of stickers, anyone know a good AND cheep place to load up on various brewery stickers for the Keggorators?

1 brew kegged 3 more to go then 3 more brews to plan for....time to quit work again.

Want mine?

Not sure if they can be saved but I recently scored this Kegerator with taps and fittings for only $75. Personally, I've never been a fan of decorating with brewery stickers so assuming I can get them off cleanly, I'll gladly send them to you.

 

[TwistedGray]

5lb of apricots added to the latest brew, and that should be bottled as soon as secondary fermentation is complete.

 

[JCasey1992]

Someone is in for a treat! Today, I rebrewed what I would argue is the best beer I have ever made. It should be ready for this trade.

I Also got to try out a glass of one of my other offerings and I like what I tasted! One beer left to brew and we should be good to go!

Cheers!

 

[Homergah]

I was about to officially pull out of the trade with my hops getting destroyed and all my grain getting infested with larva. But! I found 4 bottles of raspberry peach apple gose lurking in the back of the fridge. And 4 bottles of a mixed fermentation sour. I have an oaked ginger bread brown in the keg. Plus the Dipa I'm crushing grain for now. Heck, I'm almost there!

 

[Homergah]

Yes, yes, YES!

Nevermind...

Interesting approach. Start with that longhorn sticker..see how that goes first. [emoji6]

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

...and all my grain getting infested with larva.

Use Whirlflocc tablets on the boil, it'll drop out the extra protein! BTW, pretty much every retail beer you drink had weevils in the grain.

That one is actually a magnet and may actually be the only one I want to keep [emoji38]. I was born in Austin and graduated high school in a suburb just a few miles down the road from there. I have since moved up to Colorado. Despite the fact that I like it a lot more up here, I will always be a horns fan. Hook 'em!

Ha! If only. I've cooked the little devils before. This was a bit beyond that. The cocoons had actually welded several bins shut. Seriously. My wife and son are both decent brewers, if they could have used the grain right then and there maybe it could have been saved. Son was busy with work and my wife needs an assistant when brewing. She can't lift much. Oh well. Got a new bag of brewer's malt and some more Crystal, etc.

 

[pshankstar]

Submitted my offer earlier today. Thought the deadline was closer than it is. Looking forward to this round!

 

[Scturo]

Still time to join if anyone is on the fence. Should be a great round!

Interesting. When the brew pub goes up, thinking about storage bin...but no?? Just get fresh?

Brew pub? Need any help? I can be the weevil wrangler.
