Anyone else interested?beerbaron, are you a yes?

[beerbaron]

Yes, this is my first beer pass. Instructions to follow? Are any of you attending big beers, belgians and barleywines in Vail?

With the help of Random.org, here are the pass pairings!1. JKoravos → 2. ChefL2. ChefL → 12. strangebrewer3. Jayb → 9. drez774. KenLenard → 1. JKoravos5. beer baron → 10. sdeweese6. Thirsty → 3. Jayb7. DaBearSox → 8. orudis8. orudis → 4. KenLenard9. drez77 → 5. beer baron10. sdeweese → 11. stellarbrew11. stellarbrew → 7. DaBearSox12. strangebrewer → 13. chadm7513. chadm75 → 6. ThirstyRules:1. Everybody wants homebrew, that's the main reason we peruse this board. However, the inclusion of local commercial talent is not frowned upon, especially if it's unique, and it's good. Some of us live in areas that supply brew not seen in other parts. Also, You don't have to limit your shipment to beer, other items which you think may be of interest to the other party are also acceptable. Just remember to check with your recipient to ensure the delivery is well received.2. Shipping deadline is January 15th. When you make the decision to participate there may be circumstances that stall your commitment-That is a much smaller problem when the receiver is apprised of that early on. If a receiver tells me that they did not get their Pass within two-three weeks of the shipping deadline, nor did they get a reason why this may have happened, that participant runs the risk of joining the present list of those who are no longer Pass worthy.3. To make it worthwhile for everyone there is a minimum cover charge of four (4) bottles to be delivered. (More is better!)4. You must be 21 years of age to participate.5. Communicate as soon as the pairings are announced. Continue that communication so that the sender knows the shipment was received in good shape, and, eventually what the perceptions are. This is a second (or first) homebrew club for many. Giving them your feedback will ensure that future Passes are even better.

Excellent, thank you for arranging this JK!!!!!

I think we usually say to get in touch with your passer within 2-3 days, but it's a busy week for everyone, so try to get in touch as soon as you can. Friday at the latest.

Yea I actually sent out a few other beer packages today as thank yous for Xmas. I figured just get them all done at the same time.

Naturally. I assume they are all bottle-conditioned? I know I saw a yeast clump in one of them. Will probably crack at least one tomorrow. I also liked the "enjoy the home-made rootbeer!" message to postal inspectors. Reminds me of that time my college roommate's mom sent us some wild mushrooms for our pizza party. Good times!

Yea they are all bottle conditioned....I like my beers aesthetically pleasing but when you ship that yeast is gonna get shaken up....the IPA will probably be cloudy with the dry hopping plus it was the first brew made in my new place and I didn't have a proper set up for my immersion chiller yet so it took me a good while to chill it down.....the old ale will prob have some chill haze as I brewed that just about a year ago and I didn't have my anti chill haze processes down yet. It got a 39 at a comp last year when it was still pretty young, they said it was clear but they probably sampled at room temp. I sent you a message with the specs on all of them.

[stellarbrew]

Left my beer offering at UPS today. Said they'd forward it to stellarbrew by Friday...if there's any left.

Excellent, I shall eagerly await delivery! (Those bastards at UPS had better not help themselves to my beer )Likewise, I dropped off DaBearSox's package at UPS today, also to arrive Friday.
