Well the good news I got my package the bad news the beer I really wanted to try did not arrive safely :,(

Thanks Mark can't wait to try your homebrew.

That sucks man.

Its made for Skeeter Pee mixing!!!! Its damn good if I do say myself. Dangerously tastes like plain sweet tea and lemon. I absolutely love EC 1118 for stuff like this!

Awesome. Could you PM the recipe when convenient?

I used to have that fan. It died in the unfortunate swamp cooler accident of 2008.
Sounds like a tragedy! ;)

How's life on the water? :D
 
And now for Clown Shoes Blaecorn Unidragon. Tasty but very hot.

It's the all purpose fan and looks absolutely hideous for a great beer pic backdrop!!! Nuke is puking right now, lol!!!!

I had one last year in a mix up six pack, it was in the trunk of my car during an eagles game. Made the fatal mistake of trying it warm and puked it all over the side of my car on 76 in traffic! Prob shouldn't have been driving!

Fookers! Sorry man - I'll make it up to you next time I get down there. And that's it for UPS! :(

USPS arrives nicely every time.

Like "it was delivered from across the street."
 
Buddy's first all grain homebrew, a BIAB lager with 34/70 and motueka. Not the best lager I've ever had, but an impressive effort for sure.
 
I realize I'm not very smart, but how did UPS break the bottom of a 1L flip top and yet that delicate little glass is 100%?

Okay here is the reason why the bottle "failed" during shipment. This is where the classes for glass fracture analysis at the American Glass Research institute pays off I guess.

That bottle blew out by pressure failure. Not mishandling. If you look at Nizzle's picture. The piece that is located right below the main part of the bottle, to the left hand side, has a "half moon" shape to it. This is a indicator that the bottle failed at the bottom plate for pressure. This part is the piece that has a faint circle on the bottom of the bottle. It could be possible that this particular ezcap was not manufactured to specs, coupled with a above normal Co2 volumes for a saison, lead to a failure.

That freaking sucks Nizz!! I feel for your loss!

I've had bottles blow up due to pressure and they certainly don't look in that good-of-shape.

Mark has shipped to me in the past and his packing was outstanding. But think about it, ANYTHING could've happened to that package. Only UPS knows. All it takes is one toss and that thing could've been hit in the right spot and BOOM. I'm sure it was not his fault at all. I'll blame UPS.

I, too, received a Tired Hands half-growler two weeks ago and it arrived in perfect shape.
 
^^^ F my last post.

I'm looking for another brew!

You're thinking bottle bomb. FermentNEthing is talking about a defective bottle, which if I'd been paying attention, is exactly what that growler looks like. Bottom sheared off, relatively clean.
