All labeled and ready for shipping. Homemade labels and milk, so they’re pretty basic.
Those look great. I'm definitely getting in on this next year.
I’m still sitting on one of yours from last year. It will make the fridge soon!!
I apologize in advance, I bottled from keg and the carb isn't so great.
Anyone have a preferred shipping box for this trade? Since I'll need a whole bunch of identical boxes, didn't know if past years have found a size sold by an office supply store or similar that was an ideal size.

Sorry for the long silence - I unwittingly backed into leading a billion-dollar telescope project and that has been taking 36 hours a day.
Fortunately I brewed the group #2 spiced cherry dubbel well before this and it has been aging ever since. Despite using 6lb of cherry puree, I'm a bit disappointed with how muted the cherry flavor is - if I'd had the time I would have re-brewed it. However, it is what it is and that's what you'll get!
Someone suggested sending more than 2 beers since we have less participants.
I was under the impression it was 3 as well so I'd only be able to add a bottle to some orders. 33 bottles across 9 shipments.Yeah I believe it's always been 3 bottles per person. So if you were to increase it would go up to 4+.
I agree. It would be more than I budgeted for.I only have enough to send out 3 beers. And I agree with @passedpawn that adding another beer would increase my shipping costs more that it worth to send 1 more beer.
I'm not sure who in their right mind would want more than 3 bottles of Gruit. After I made this stuff, I went to my hops supply and gave it a hug.
Hi all... My sincere apologies for the extended absence, and for the news I am about to impart. My beer failed. I had a bad summer,
a series of obligations that I won't bore anyone with, and then a bad starter too late in the game to recover from. Then a little good news...
Pete is still in with his 12 BOC offering. So, I am still shipping his beer, regardless.
If any of you might be interested in allowing me to participate with a local, but commercial, craft brew offering, let me know. I want to make good on my fail, but I understand that this is not to specs of the swap. But it will still be a different beer! Anyway, up to you guys... Let me know.
