Just awesome... NOT! FedEx tracking report indicates my package is damaged. I packed the crap out of that box. Morons must have thrown it across the truck! I'm guessing this will delay delivery. I'll keep you all updated.

 

[cmoewes]

Assuming I can dig out of the snow in the morning will ship out tomorrow

 

[Zoidberg]

Ouch, Minnesota got snow in April. Us in Michigan were so close. Lots of rain but temp stayed just above 32.

 

[cmoewes]

Yeah we were lucky enough to get 8 inches of what my dad always called "heart attack snow". So wet and heavy you almost kill yourself shoveling it.

 

[Terek]

Just got my haul. Thanks Matt! I get the 2 porters, but ya gotta tell me what the others are. Got one labeled "p" one labeled "H" and an American flag top. I'm chilling a porter to drink with dinner

The brown porter, very good. A little toasty, a little nutty. Smooth and drinkable, but a bit of alcohol taste at the back of my tongue. Just like I like a good porter. I can usually tell if a homebrew is made all grain or extract, I could not tell on this brew. Well done. Now on to the next. Think I will crack a pumpkin ale next

 

[inkman15]

Thanks man! They're all grain, by the way.

[Terek]

Now on to the pumpkin ale. Nice body. It's deff all grain a bit spicy, but good spice. The pumpkin is definetally there. A bit over powering. Mabe a little less pumpkin, or another month on the shelf. I'm not big on the bold pumpkin taste, so all that is totally IMO. I will age the other pumpkin, and I bet the taste will realy shine threw with another month to 6 weeks in my cellar. I have found that pumpkin ales are best at 3-4 months from start to glass. I will probably cellar the other porter a bit as well. That was already good and will only get better. Will try the hefe Tom. About bedtime and I'm getting up early to go scout for turkey's. Good beers

 

[inkman15]

Thanks again man. Glad you enjoyed. Love getting real feedback from fellow brewers.

SALINE, MI
Customer not available or business closed

Ruh roh! If you're part of the swap and in MI there is a package out there somewhere.

 

[Terek]

Bout half way threw the hefe. Very fruity, and flavorful. Good balance. I'm not big on weizens, so I don't have many taste ing notes on it, but it is good. I would drink another any day.
So out of your 3 beer styles, I will rate out of ten.
Porter: 9/10 very good, another month and I bet it's a 10/10
Pumpkin ale: 7/10 needs a little less pumpkin, or a few more months
Hefeweizen: 8/10 very good, not big on this style, but SWAMBO loved it

Good to see that the packages are starting to arrive, and to read the tasting notes. I was hoping mine would be one of the first, but unfortunately it was damaged in some way. I cannot get FedEx to tell me the extent of the damage. And of course everyone I talk to wants details regarding what's in the package. So far I am just telling them homemade food products. I have also advised them to deliver in spite of the damage. I'm hoping only one bottle broke, but still no info from FedEx. I'll keep trying and update next week.

Sorry.

Sorry.

In spite of several calls to FedEx on Friday, I still have no information. Now I find out this morning that their Home Delivery dept is closed on Mondays, so the earliest I will find out anything is tomorrow. (Tuesday)
