They usually have a 5-15 gallon barrel that holds extra must if memory serves. That I can fill.
What came in the mail for you today?

Just do an open fermentation
ps: I reached out to them...letcha know
Edit; They are 60 gallons barrels, and he has nothing smaller.
I've dreamed of getting one of those barrels to use as a solera but I seriously doubt I'd be able to keep up with it. My club did buy a 55 gallon bourbon barrel. 11 of us each brewed 5 gallons of the same barleywine recipe, mixed them all together, aged for 10 months, then split back out. The club president built a little air conditioned room in his garage to store it at 60F for us, which was a huge expense for him, but the beer was amazing!

I received my MoreBeer Premium Beer Brewing Kit with Kegging System. No pictures as I am work have not actually seen it yet. Can't wait to unbox and get started. BTW, my first brew.

Down the rabbit hole you go, welcome to the obsession.

Believe me I have been picking out my next brews already hahahaha
A bunch of minor stuff from Morebeer, including four 1-gallon glass jugs and a mini autosiphon for me to start 1 gal cider batches. Interestingly, MB offers boxes of four jugs, but it doesn't count toward free shipping. But you can order as many individual jugs as you want and they ship free, which is what I did. When I received my order, the jugs were packaged in a box of 4 anyway. Go figure.

A 50 amp gfci breaker for my eBIAB brewery build.
I don’t even want to ask what shipping those coast to coast would cost.

No, you probably wouldn't, yikes. But I could break some pieces off for wood soaking, or take it apart and ship pieces. So, it can be done!
If you go that route, I will play.

If enough people want sections I'd do that for you guys. I have no interest unless it were a baby barrel, so just split the cost among x# of you and consider it done. Let me know
Beer mail arrived today! Thanks to the “Local Only Trade (LOT)” thread and @wstbrewing! I can’t wait to see what he gets in return!

A second keg!
@jimyson Doug had a bad day. Must have played soccer with this thing! Or pissed off by the bottle of rocks All packages arrived fine tho.
Most of all happy on trying the surprise package of coffee. His last batch was awesome.
I tried the rheumetism medicine #1 bottle and rubbed the spring tonic on my bad knee. It's like new!
Can't wait to dig into these!

Woah, I can’t believe it all made it looking like that. Hard not to see he cans with the box wide open.
Ah yes, #1. That was the knob creek 15 year single barrel select. I thought you would get a kick out of that one. Use those nuts to tie up those joints.
The coffee was a split batch between you and buckinin and is a blend of Colombia, Costa Rica, Uganda, and Ethiopia. I hope you enjoy it.

Looks nice! I’ve been on the fence about trying them out. The only problem I have is, I can get a lot of the beers they offer through members here by trading.
Do you feel like it’s worth it? I’m really one the fence to give it a go or not at least once.
What did the Mecca sack run you with shipping?
$104 from NB
We seem to only place an order about once or twice a year. They seem to have a lot of average to slightly above average beers, and occasionally offer some really good beers.
Pros: Flat rate shipping, I think around $14, (it's the same if you order 1 beer or 51 beers). Phone app makes ordering easy. A lot of the beers offered I can't get locally. No minimums. Order what you want, when you want.
Cons: As mentioned, often times average beers. Beers are a bit expensive. Shipping company used is often hard to coordinate with....must be home to sign for the shipment.
I've been tempted to join in on some of the trading threads here but the thought of shipping costs keeps me from doing so. For instance I shipped 6 or 8 beers recently to a friend and I think it cost over $30 for UPS ground. Whereas today I received 25 beers for $14.

Your $30 shipment could've been $20 through USPS and arrived in two days, for what that's worth. Otherwise, trading on here has been one of the highlights of my forum(s) life (and I'm on a LOT of them).

Isn't it illegal to ship alcohol via USPS, vs merely against policy with ups/fedex?

If you get caught it’s illegal.

That's what I thought. I'll pay the extra few dollars for private carrier rather than risk it.
