Nothing really at the airport, but provided they're happy to pack bottles properly and check their bag in, they should be able to get you some Pliny the Elder in San Jose. I believe it is available at Cazadores Bottle Shop, though it would be worth calling to find out which day they get it since...

It was my first dubbel too. For 5.5G in the fermentor: 6lb Belgian Pale 3lb Belgian Munich 1lb Special B 8oz Belgian Aromatic 8oz Flaked Wheat Mash at 148F Boil for 60 minutes 1.5oz East Kent Goldings at 60 minutes 2lb Turbinado, 1tsp Ceylon Cinnamon, Whirlfloc at 10 minutes 1 drop Almond...

Agreed - if I'd had the time I would have re-brewed with twice the cherries.

Last of my Group 2s arrived today, and I have them all lined up just like BigCrazyAl - thanks all. Incidentally, the background image behind the Spacey Hummingbird is an as-yet unpublished picture of the Big Bang from the Planck satellite.

Quad and Gingerbread arrived safe and sound - thanks.

I got home to the same 4 packages, all safe and sound - thanks all!

Did the packing peanuts show any evidence of beer? I'm in DC right now, but I'll get a replacement sent off to you when I get home.

Dang ... so where did the bottles go?

I'm glad the labels seem to be staying on - for the first time ever I had problems with the milk method and had to redo about half of them. It may be to do with the less clean edges from cutting them into ovals but I wanted the right shape for the background image of the Big Bang.

$139.44 for group 2 FedEx ground from Oakland - tracking numbers by PM.

Still interested to hear what happened that you had to kill the music.

I managed to throw my back out yesterday, so my packing and sending will be delayed by a day or two.

Spacey Hummingbird Spiced Cherry Dubbel all ready for packing and shipping on Monday. Not thrilled with the label but I didn't have time to polish.

Cool - makes sense with the Monterey Bay location too.

We're up above ALMA - POLARBEAR and ACT now, Simons Observatory imminently, and CMB-S4 in the longer term.

What are you working on, if I can ask?

Indeed - one of our telescope sites is higher than Everest base camp, and the view would be breathtaking if I had any breath left at that altitude. Where were you working? We're based in San Pedro.

Blessed are those who pass their bottles on clean and boxed! My disjoint bottling-prep and kegging days have merged into a beautifully synchronized - though entirely unplanned - whole. And this despite the last-minute addition of holiday variety gifts packs to the 12BX bottling plan, adding a...

The advice was to use 10-15% less of the puree than fresh cherries, so I estimated I was at about 7lb fruit-equivalent. Other tasters have liked the subtlety of the flavor though, so I'll just see what you guys think. As for the telescope ... we're looking at 20+ of them, all at microwave...
