It has indeed and I just unpacked it. Everything sounds great and thanks for the extras. I love Pliny so that's always a treat. I can't wait to crack a few tonight.

@TwistedGray the beers you sent me came in and everything is undamaged and VERY nicely packaged. The kiddo saw the candy so she's excited to try some. Thank you sir!

We usually put candy in our boxes to make noise so they can't hear the beer slosh around. I mean feel free to eat it, lol...they're both over a year old but I'm sure they're still good.

Lol, more importantly I look forward to your feedback!
Oh [emoji23] I seriously thought you were thinking of the kids ha ha ha

Sounds like a typical rookie mistake. Haha Just kidding around! I thought the same thing when I did my first few beer trades.

Would it be possible to see more pics of the beers packaged in the box so we can view how so many beers are loaded into one box?

Lol, for me it's a food saver + bubble wrap (when shipping bottles). I'll lightly wrap the bottles in bubble wrap and sandwich them in a food saver bag. Once that's done I'll vacuum seal the bag, and then I'm on to the next one. You really do not need much more than that because the bottles are not going to move, and they're also protected.
Other people put individual cans and bottles (bubble wrapped) in ziplock bags. You need more bubble wrap with this approach because the bottles and cans can move around more than if they were tightly packaged in a vac. sealed bag.
Most people put everything into a large trash bag lined box so that if something does leak it's a non-issue (stays in the trash bag). If I am vac. sealing the beer I usually don't worry about it as the sealed bag should hold the liquid contents should there be an issue.

He posted a couple of days ago. So I’m sure he’ll show up soon. Hopefully, everything is good.
Nada..quiet as empty space. He said he's brewing another so figured there was a wait anyway. But something would be cool...

My last conversation with him was last Friday. He said he's been extremely busy.

Christmas Cider, enjoy
Do you fully pull all the air out of the bags. I love this idea from the sealing perspective and I'll have to try it on my next shipment.

Absolutely

Fellowship brethren: in reference to the "feedback" for our trades. Are we looking for general feedback for the trade overall, or do my fellow brewers want a critical review of their brew?
Kind regards,

The latter (but leaving trader feedback is helpful as well)
Looks like @fourfarthing got his box today, always glad to see the box make it, hope everything is in good shape.
Yeah baby. Your label game is awesome. Please PM me your technique as I take pride in mine. Also, nice to see someone else with custom caps.
Perfect exrras too. Trip leaked a bit so... I did what everyone else would and poured it. This is really good, even with low carb. You should be proud of this beer.

Sucks that tripel leaked but glad most of it made it safe.
My wife is the label master, she uses Adobe Illustrator to build them. The really nice ones we print on nicer paper at Kinko's, the basic ones are laser printed at home. I use plain gelatin and warm water to attach them. Works great and they don't fall off unless you use warm water so they last.

What did I lose? Is this for the extract? I need to pay more attention. Lol
TwistedGray

Well, you didn't lose ... you just didn't win, lol. Yeah, the extract I had lying around.
Gotcha. Just wanted to be sure it wasn't something more lol.
Btw... I'm planning on rebrewing your cream ale on Thursday. Thank you so much for your patience.

I’m using good belly, which works anerobically. So I have to cover the top of the wort with sanitized plastic wrap, to help keep oxygen away. I also purge the tank with co2. Then I use a heat wrap to maintain temp. Worked last time,
What is good belly? Lacto?
