Whelp. That makes it easy!

 

[TwistedGray]

Whelp. That makes it easy!

The better question is how many people won't show up Friday. Your #8 spot could very easily turn into a #4-5 pick

 

[fourfarthing]

Whelp. That makes it easy!

That is what I thought.

 

[fourfarthing]

I think that I have traded with everyone in this round.

 

[TwistedGray]

If you can't be there on Friday, feel free to send me a pick list, fyi.

 

[camonick]

That’s a hell of a list! Looks like a lot of great drinks.

 

[pshankstar]

Well this gives me a reason to brew more this year.

 

[TwistedGray]

I had a Porter bottled as well, lol, butttttttttttttttttttttt I think I forgot to add hops, and the entire batch is soured (but not in a good way). Doh!!

...not sure how that happened (scratches head)

 

[DrGMG]

fyi Atlantatopher, Aharri1, and myself are in the same homebrew club. Not sure if trading between us can be avoided.

@3 Dawg Night
+ possible extra HB, tbd

Unfortunately, my brew schedule didn't pan out for an extra TBD HB, so what you see is what you get.

 

[pshankstar]

I forgot to mention I’ll toss in a bag of home roasted coffee with my offer. If you don’t have a coffee grinder please let me know and I’ll grind the coffee for you. Looking forward to tomorrow night. Cheers!
