Oh I agree, same here. I plan to get the BJCP guidelines and sit down with each one and really try to review (I'm a novice at this).

I always try to provide constructive feedback and I use the BJCP form to review the beer to make sure I record all my impressions. Nice to help others improve their beer, and the feedback I get is always useful and welcomed..

Yup, safe and sound! I've already hidden the 9-9-9 from myself. Thanks for the awesome and generous bounty!
I've never really reviewed a beer, but I'll be happy to let you know what I think of them as I sample.

So I'm trying to decide which beers I should send in addition to the 999. Unfortunately, almost everything I have ready seems to be on the dark and malty side of the scale. If any of my recipients would care to look at my available brews in my sig and let me know if there's anything you'd really like let me know. The Lakewalk and Evil Twin could be ready in a week or two if you wanted those. Otherwise I'll probably ship early next week. The verfluchte gute heeweizen is an option if you don't want all dark malty beers, but it is getting on in life and losing some of the bavarian weizen character it had when young. It's still yummy though! Let me know!
EDIT: By the way, I'll also be including a bottle of my wild fermented Belgian Golden in each package. I'm interested in hearing reviews on that one!

I love dark malty beers! Send whatever you want, I know you want feedback so whichever ones you feel like sending is great!
Shipped. They are on the way. Hopefully Ace Ventura isn't doing the delivery of any of them.
I should finally be able to get around to bottling mine this week and getting them out the door.
Packaging tonight and shipping tomorrow. Bottled last night. Sixty bottles with a 8 3/4 month pregnant bottling assistant was interesting.
Alright, folks. Most of the beers are bottled, and the rest should be done, today. I hope to get them all packed up, today, as well. However, I might wait until Monday to send them off, so that they won't spend a weekend in a warehouse. If any of my recipients object to that, just let me know.

No prob, Tex. I will be lookin' forward to getting those next week! :rockin:
CBBaron's goodies arrived safe and sound. Won't be long before there are four more empties on my shelf...
Packaged, Shipped and Tracking Numbers PM'd to recipients.
Enjoy those "yeast samples for evaluation" everyone.
Are we doing the individual threads for reviews of beer sent or are we posting the reviews here? I'm pretty sure everyone received 5 distinct styles in my packages. Packaging was rushed so that these could get out in time for delivery this week.

In past swaps, haven't there been threads in the swap forum entitled something like "MMB's Beers from the 999 swap" or something, usually started by the sender which includes any pertinent information about the sent beer, then the recipients put there reviews in there? That would be my preference. Keeps everything organized and it's fun to read reviews of other people's stuff as well as my own. For instance, if someone sends me and two other people the same beer, I'd like to see the other two people's reviews after making mine, to see how they compare.

Beerrific,
Your box just arrived. Great timing, I just dropped the chiller into my Wheat beer downstairs when the doorbell rang.
2 Barleywines
2 Dude's LakeWalk's
1 Berliner Weiss
1 Weizenbock
The BW's will go into the brewshop to age for a few months at 67 degrees. The rest are going to the fridge and I doubt any will survive past the weekend.
Can you say sour bugs?

Alright, according to UPS all three have been delivered to the front door.
I already got confirmation from Nealf that he received his.

Received mine too! That's about the only think that went well today!
I chilled the green chili beer and had it with dinner (fajitas). It was actually really good, kind of surprised me. The green chili flavor was subtle but pronounced, and blended really well with the beer. Crystal clear golden color, poured with no head. High carbonation had bubbles racing up from all over. No hop aroma or flavor, instead, the aroma is subtle malty sweetness over a faint green chili essence. Taste was smooth and slightly sweet, with good malt flavor. Green chili came through nicely but with no spiciness. Went really well with the fajitas!EDIT: By the way, I had my fiance try it without telling her what it was and her response was, "it tastes like tacos". lol
Got mine too. Thanks!
Yours should be there tomorrow. Interesting, 3 days from NM to here, but 4 days from here to NM.

I am glad the berliner weisse made it, I was a bit worried. It is very well carbonated. I noticed that it had some sediment when I bottled it. I have been drinking on it for the past few weeks, so it is ready. If you age it for 2 months, be careful when you open it. It has had a long time to finish off the sugars, but I would hate for it to explode in your face.

No way I had a chance to age it any longer than this afternoon.
This beer is excellent. Bright. Crisp. Only slightly sour so it takes on almost a lemon like tone. Effervesces like crazy. Light on the palette. Very good. Very refreshing. Only thing missing is the recipe.
Camera doesn't capture it, but the bubbles are dancing like champagne.

Oh, when you said you were again the "BWs" I though you meant berliner weisse.
Glad you enjoyed.
Good news for my recipients. Two of the beers I sent just placed in the NHC 2009 Great Lakes region.
Great Lakes Region
Cat 9 - 3rd place - 9D (Irish Red)
Cat 14 - 2nd place - 14B (Simcoe & Amarillo IPA)
That's great man. :rockin:

I will be bottling mine this weekend and then send them out next week. I'm running a bit behind.
Got it today! I put all but the 999's in the fridge to start cooling. Can't wait to try them!
Another competition, another ribbon. My recipients will be recieving a 3rd medal winning beer in the swap. My Amarillo Summit IPA took a 3rd place today in the Homebrew at the W.E.B. comp. Cat. 14 - 14B....... :rockin:
Reposted the swaplist because it took me freaking forever to find it.

Need to inform my senders that the week of May 18th - 22nd I'll be away from home at the hospital so if you are shipping to me please make sure the beer arrives before the 18th or after the 22nd. I may be home before the 22nd but I wouldn't want you beer sitting on my porch in the heat if I'm not able to get home before then.
Thanks
