What came in the mail for you today?

A straight sided glass jar to keep my sourdough starter.

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

It's illegal with all of them by varying degrees. I have had a friend who has had shipments scooped up by USPS, Fedex, and UPS.

USPS - on the phone call to make you feel bad about your decisions, check to cover the seized package, and a fill-in-the-blank form sent to the shipper saying you can't do that.

FEDEX - Check to cover the seized package, a next day letter saying you can't do that, extreme scrutiny in future packages (they look for booze thereafter), and account closure.

UPS - Check to cover the seized package, no letter saying you can't do it (waiting...perhaps it'll show up some time in the distant future), and no scrutiny on future packages (yet).

@jiMithing83 what he means by “a check to cover the seized package” is they write you a check to cover whatever you insured it for. I insure my packages for $100 or so more than the worth of the beer plus shipping costs. Just incase

Curious how you got any galaxy from yakima? I just made a order a week ago and they were sold out?

FYI, Galaxy is back in stock at Yakima, just ordered a couple pounds!

DAMN those went quick! I bought my two pounds, then posted here within 5 minutes. Can’t believe they sold everything already. [emoji2962]

Shut up, I have friends!

 

[Andrew Hodgson]

They restocked once already since this morning though, maybe another restock will happen? My pound I had in my cart around 9AM EST and they ran out so I had to get a half. Keep an eye out if you are on the hunt they might add more maybe.

Just started reading that book as well! Little heavy on the science, but lots of really interesting info.

That's fine by me, I'm really into the science side of brewing. Looking forward to getting into it, cheers!

Yessir, into a 9% dark saison with some extra brett to make the fruit pop hopefully.

You just ordered online? Doing a Dubbel this week to build up yeast for a cherry quad. I usually just use grocery store frozen but wouldn't mind changing it up.

Yeah I got it direct from Brownwood Acres, normally I would have gone a cheaper option (these were 62$ for 4lb, free shipping) but a lot of the dried stuff online has sunflower oil and I wanted to try and use a quality Michigan cherry supplier. We will see if I find it is pretty subtle I might opt for a cheaper option next time.

Wow! I might stick with frozen for now. Cherry and quads mix so well. Happy brewing and can't wait for the results.

 

[DIYer]

Got my order from Label Peelers--two 6-gal PET carboys with stoppers (for aging wine), a degassing stirrer, a long stainless steel spoon, and a Brewer's Best dunkelweizen kit. Going to be a fun weekend!

Ah, you're fermenting with them? Never tried that. Always secondary. Now you got me really curious!

I let the beer ferment for two weeks with the mad ferm saison blend from bootleg and then added the cherries and some extra brett. I'll let it rip down another month and package.

 

[matt_m]

All American Ale Works Motor. Unboxed it and thought they surely sent me the 1HP, not the 1/2HP I ordered--wow!

 

[jdauria]
