Any interest in a birthday swap? We could probably get a few reliable traders here to commit.

Seems like both make a wish threads have about died as well.
Saddest to see gone is the BIF, but the last few I sent.... pointing out the thread to the recipient... never showed up.
I do as well but we do risk having some drop out if they arent actively brewing.
I like FotD because I get beers I haven't had that aren't on anyone's list of must-try beers. Mostly normal stuff, that's usually really good, but not on the BA-flavor-of-the-month list. I'm not in this for the big dogs. When I do want something in particular, I just ask the appropriate person if they can send some to me. But I dig this for the normal stuff that I'd never know to seek out.
Yeah, been on a brewing kick lately but mostly lower ABV stuff for summer. Not sure it's worthy to share.
pfff. My best homebrews are low ABV. I enjoy the small ones. It's a nice break from all the huge commercial ones that I seem to love drinking.. Homebrew gives my liver and kidneys a much needed break.If it was aged in a barrel, and not sour, I want to drink it
..Homebrew gives my liver and kidneys a much needed break.
Amen to that! Noticed i'm thinking quicker also. Speaking of thinking, thinking about brewing a 12% Big Bad Baptist clone this coming week. So much for the "liver" cleanse!
+1
I just weighed out grains for a 1.078 IPA with a pound of Simcoe...because I can.
I just hope it doesn't suck. It'll be an adventure to brew, anyway.
Delivered Let me know what's in there outside of all the random trinkets!
Well I got a ****-ton of bottled HB right now. All at various levels of drink-ability. I'd be happy to set up a thread and post. I'd give it at least 3 weeks before we pick. I'd shoot for at least 8 participants with a minimum of 4 home brews. What do ya think?

+1 as long as I get solid feedback on my hb.

It might take me a while to get 4 different homebrews but I could have 2 in three weeks.
Thoughts on the homebrew trade:
Three weeks works for me, but you might want to make it four or five to give folks more time for the first round.
Some other things:
- Four beers sounds reasonable, but not necessarily four different beers.
- Maybe only four beers, no more? Keep shipping low.
- Sending primed, but not yet carbed bottles should be considered acceptable, provided a bottling date is marked on the bottle.
- No commercial beer allowed.
- Provide useful feedback on the beers.
- itrader feedback strongly encouraged.
I'd also like to make a request for folks to limit the offers of sours. It's a set of styles that are very polarizing, and many just won't drink them, and seriously limits the potential for your offer being chosen. I've noticed an increasing number of them being offered in the FotD, and they always go straight to the bottom of my list, because I'm one of those who just don't like them.
Anyway, I think that's all I can think of for now.

Where is our new thread?
Can I get a shout out for a good time frame? Certainly don't want to leave anyone out on the inaugural HB trade!
I can probably get a cider in there...
I can do 3 weeks with 2 different brews, sending multiples is easy. I can probably get a cider in there if we're opening it up to that sort of thing as well. I'll wait for the rules on Thursday this should be a good experience.
