:rockin:

 

[D_Nyholm]

Awesome. Filled up faster than I thought it would. C'mon beer, carb!

 

[reefriot]

Luckily my package will be going west coast so I shouldn't have to worry about freezing!!

Anyone send anything out yet? Can't wait to see the pictures of people tearing into the treasures!!

I'm gonna hold off until next week due to the cold weather. Just got blasted with a nice snow storm last night. Next week the temps will be back up into the 30's. I feel more comfortable shipping it then.

Same here, it was 7 degrees where I was working tonight can't wait for it to warm up a bit. Next week will be in the 30's and low 40's

What's the consensus on sending out a mead that could use more time to age, I can't decide which bottles to send

If it were coming to me, I'd be fine with it.

 

[Zoidberg]

I'm also gonna send out next week when its a bit warmer since everyone seems ok with that.

 

[D_Nyholm]

I thinking sending stuff out that needs to age is fine. Just make sure they know! . Might be neat to get a mead that needs a few months. Helps to force spreading out the consumption of the spoils!

Agree with this.

 

[Zoidberg]

Yea I plan on including a note sheet with when each brew was made and bottled at the least. Probably extra info too.

 

[inkman15]

I am definitely in for next round, disappointed I missed this one.

Likewise - I want in for next round. I have a porter and pumpkin that should be ready to send. Maybe others.

My partners getting a 2year old mead. All ready to drink!

I write on a post it note and then tape it to the bottle.
Receiver can just rip it off and reuse the bottle.

 

[ivegot2legs]

all I can say is that my recipient is about to get blown away. Unfortunately I'm too early in my mead making to send some out, but there's plenty to make up for it.

Hopefully I am your recipient. Just have a 6er of homebrew but sending some extras they don't get. Hopefully that can keep him happy!

 

[jtd_419]

I'm thinking one or two of the four meads that I've got on hand, a cider, and a variety of beers ranging from Berliner weiss to imperial pumpkin

 

[Zoidberg]

It's still below 20F during the day here, Michigan, and 8 or less at night. I'm getting concerned about sending and receiving frozen beer. Never sent beer in mail before, what do you guys think I should do? Next Thursday it will warm during day but not at night. Next Monday though should be upper 20s even at night.

 

[tripplehazzard]

Is this full?

Yes, Sorry... This swap is well underway. Stay tuned for round 2 if this turns out successful.

 

[Zoidberg]

Ok well I am waiting for a better weather predictions of the 30s which could be this Thurs or next Monday, sorry to my recipient.

 

[ivegot2legs]

Someone has a box outside their door. They should also talk to me so I can give them more info on the things they've received before drinking them.

 

[D_Nyholm]

That would be me and it looks like I am a winner! Had to use a fork truck to get it in the house! Awesome labels and selection, makes me realize I need to brew more.
Included are:
RIS
2x game over stout
Mint chocolate stout
RIS w/ coffee
Kentucky Breakfast
Canadian Breakfast
Barley wine
Bourbon Barrel Cider
Sour Cherry Kriek
French Saison
Dark Lager
Oktoberfest
Belgian strong ale with cherries
Hefe
Berliner Weisse

Incredible package, going to try to post pics from my phone but if I cannot I will after the kids go to sleep.
Thank you so much ivegot2legs I will send you a pm later regarding the beers!

 

[D_Nyholm]

One other thing I forgot to mention is that i am so excited creating my box to be sent out, I totally forgot that I had one coming in. This was such a great surprise. When the FedEx man rang the bell I was wondering what the heck my wife had ordered! Once I realized, i threw on a movie to babysit the kids and tore into the box like a kid on Christmas! Great addition to my week! Thanks again!

 

[ivegot2legs]

You're quite welcome. I'm glad everything made it safely, let's hope my boxes to the Midwest do as well.

 

[Stovetop535]

I like the labels, those look really nice. Whoever gets my box will not have the luxury of fancy labels. I label the wine bottles with a dab of my wifes nail polish on top of the corks and the beer bottles get sharpie marks on the caps. Removing any type of label is my least favorite activity in the world and I do not wish it upon anyone.

 

[ivegot2legs]

Thanks. Those labels only go on beers traveling outside my house. And they come right off with no glue residue.

I used to do the caps too, but I actually have custom printed caps for most of the stuff too, you just can't see it in the photo.

I totally want to try and get in on the next one.

The caps are impressive. I'll try to get a pic of a few tonight to show you. As I was taking them out of the box, all I could see were the caps and I was trying to figure out what commercial brewery they were from!
