FotHB XVI: Fireworks & Beer, What Could Go Wrong?

[Dgallo]

I don’t think everyone shipped quite yet. I believe @Dgallo is waiting for @aharri1,
@aharri1 is waiting for @MajorJC and
@CaddyWampus is waiting for @fourfarthing
Maybe I’m wrong but I think those are the outstanding ones.

I’m set, I got @aharri1 offering in early September

 

[aharri1]

Yup

Correct on me. But no worries. I know @fourfarthing will pull through some time!

I finally have time, and boxes, and a long weekend. Its now or never for the (many) boxes I owe.

 

[aharri1]

@MajorJC has messaged me and kept me up to date. Still hasn't sent anything yet, but it's all good

 

[fourfarthing]

Mail is out for delivery today. Hopefully arrived as well.

You are in for an absolute treat. @fourfarthing 's beers are fantastic.

Although it relates more to commercial beer than homebrew, for anyone who is interested the 2022 Fellowship of the Drink Secret Santa Beer Swap is now live over here: 2022 FotD Secret Santa Beer Swap

Any former participants in FotD or FotHB are welcome to participate - just read the first post, post in the thread, and send me a template!

Agreed. I’ve traded with him multiple times. He’s the reason I now have a Brett/wild program lol

Hi all!

Quick question regarding the timeline for the next trade. Considering the craziness of the holidays, I was thinking of posting the next thread in the middle of January. That way, things have time to slow down and we can also put a wrap on this round. (Correct me if I'm wrong but by my calculations, one person still needs to ship.) Please let me know if this works for you guys and if so, I'll get the next round going in mid January.

Please forgive me if I'm overcommunicating. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't keeping anybody waiting too long.

Happy holidays and I hope you all have a happy new year!

Thanks for the reminder. Barring any objections I'll post the next round tomorrow. I think I'm finally ready.

Everyone send @aharri1 a bottle or two and we will move on lol come on @MajorJC ..I thought I was bad for waiting until late September to ship lol

 

[aharri1]

LMFAO He messaged me in the middle of October and he is a RN. They had a critical short staffing and he is one of the leads. Haven't heard from him since then.

Might be commercial, but I'm in to send @aharri1 a couple of bottles/cans.

 

[MajorJC]

@aharri1 I'm so ashamed of myself! I don't know how the days are flying by so fast. Thanks for the reminder!

Not only have I not been able to brew or bottle anything new in the past few months, I haven't even had a chance to drink any beer. I need to sample the beer in my kegs for quality this weekend. The meads are bottled and ready and I've got some great commercial beers. I scheduled some PTO because I just really need some time off, so I'll be off work for ten days when I get off Thursday morning. If my homebrews have aged poorly, then I'm going to go ahead and pack up some commercial beers and the meads and send them your way. If the homebrew is still good, then you'll get the original offer, plus a second box with some great commercial beers and an apology gift also.

I will ship by Friday the 27th at the latest! Hopefully I'll be able to ship sooner though, I'm gonna shoot for Monday, but procrastination is one of my faults. Is the address you gave me still good?

I also want to thank @Dgallo and @3 Dawg Night for the proper amount of friendly shaming to get me motivated!
