I am seriously not brewing enough or I am drinking too much. Can't decide which.

I am seriously not brewing enough or I am drinking too much. Can't decide which.

I attribute it to a bit of both in my case. Though I know if I brewed more, I would just drink more!

Got my package all ready for its voyage from sea to shining sea. Should be able to ship it out either today or tomorrow.

 

[Psycotte]

Couple bombers received from Evetsz. Thanks dude. As soon as my cold clears I'll crack into these and let ya know how they are.

 

[Stovetop535]

Mine is ready to go out to New York on Monday morning now that the temp should be steady above 30 even at night here.

 

[Zoidberg]

Well it looks like I'm going to ship out tomorrow morning, its still 10F here but forecast for tomorrow is 35. I'm also bottling my green tea ale tomorrow morning. Anybody see an issue with sending freshly bottled beets? I plan on them being in addition to the 48oz.

 

[absoluthamm]

Just mark them so they aren't put directly in the fridge and therefore wouldn't be carbed and you should be fine.

K I didn't think there's be issue with shipping just wanted to check. With this weather it looks like this swap was a little early for MI...

 

[D_Nyholm]

Looks like my swap to the west coast will land on Friday. Originally it said Wednesday but it didn't get picked up from FedEx drop until today !(

 

[Stovetop535]

Just checked my tracking number from my shipment, someone should have a package. Hope everything arrived safely and leak free. The bottles are poorly marked, pm me or post them and ill let you know what they are.

That was probably me. Everything made it in tact with no leaks. This was definitely more than I was expecting, thank you very much for your generosity! I can't wait to start enjoying them.

Now I just need to know what they all are so I know what I'm drinking.

Got here today, no breaks or leaks. You definitely get the award for best packing. I think the ups man could have just kicked it out of the truck and let it bounce its way up the drive.

I am excited to try everything out. Thanks for the extras you threw in, I have not had them before.

And a couple pics-

 

[Jupapabear]

Unlabled bottles with matching gold bottle caps are my ipa, and the cold activated single is my blonde. Cheers!

Huntington NY, your package is finally on the way

Sorry for delays. Winter in MI has been crazy.

Never shipped before hope I didn't under/over do it. Haha I ran outta packing material and used some old shirts I was gonna toss.

Each bottle is wrapped in a plastic bag tied on top and then wrapped about twice around with small bubble wrap.

Under first layer is bubble wrap, wrapped up cardboard and tons of meijer plastic bag wads.

In between two layers of bottles is cardboard and bubble wrap.

On top of second layer of bottles is more ripped up card board, bubble wrap and old t-shirts to fill space.

I feel like I had to use a ton of packaging but did I just get a box too big or is this just how much packaging is need to feel secure it will make it?

Got recommended box by FedEx guy for "glass containers of homemade goods" haha. When I got home I realized it was a little big my bottles I think. I believe it was a 18x13x12inches box for 11 12oz bottles. Is that too big?

 

[Psycotte]

Weather is looking up. I'll be shipping tomorrow more than likely.

 

[Zoidberg]

And Huntington NY, pm me or message here and I'll pm you the tracking number and more info. And when it arrives do not refrigerate the two label Green Tea because they were just bottled yesterday.

 

[jtd_419]

Somewhere in texas a package has landed

 

[Jupapabear]

... that's going to make me leave work just to go see...
