Stout BIF Round 5 Hints & Hauls

This is newbie shipping week, I can't remember how many newbies are in this BIF but did anyone else ship out a porch bomb besides beatjunkee?

Regardless, we should have, oh, close to 10 porch bombs landing by this time next week. And I only have my sender narrowed down to 4.

 

I need to take a closer look at everyone's hints. I still have 5 possible senders I think.

 

I'm not sending to states that start with the letter 'C'. :-)

 

I'm packing up a box or two starting tonight, should be going out to my target either tomorrow or Monday!

 

happy st. patty's day, good citizens of BIF-nation.
slainte! and hooray for march madness! first upset is in the books (12seed-over-5seed, again)!

 

As a reminder, I get all of CT & NY distro


Hint 1: I am not shipping to Andelliotsaid
Hint 2: I am not shipping to campa86
Hint 3: I am not shipping to imyourhero21
Hint 4: I am not shipping to SportsandJorts
Hint 5: I am not shipping to Karaoketpa

 

Box Landed earlier this week but I swamped and feel behind in the pron. I did shoot him a quick message but @beatjunkee needs a bit more fanfare.

Inside the smaller box was a bunch of dark goodness

THAT GROUP SHOT


Excellent box @beatjunkee now I got to go jog so and I make room for these brews im killing this weekend.

 

dude let me know next time I have a couple of 15s i could have donated to the cause

 

Sender, here is my Untappd. Hope it helps. I've had quite a few beers, but will gladly take repeats! Especially beers over 3.5!

Glad it got to you safely/intact! Cheers!
Plenty of beers just in time for the tourney!!

 

Love it guys. I will say this- I am planning on hitting a few more folks with ninja boxes in the next month or two. I have all your addresses so no one is truly safe. Hope to do some VBS coming up as well.

To my sender- not sure who you are, but my wife and kids will be gone next week, so if I happened to receive a beer box Wed-Friday of next week, it would be nice not having her around to disapprove.

Also my 4-year old really enjoys unpacking beer boxes but I am not a fan of the help.... lol.

 

Looks like my target is going to get to try a couple National Homebrew Competition finalists!

 

Congratulations Chad. As someone who has brewed just one batch of beer I am a homebrew super noobie. So much to learn!

Since I sent a couple of these out I figured I'd better try one. #VBS

Cheers!

 

this is awesome! @bevoduz , how long have you been brewing for? I used to, but simply ran out of space - or rather, felt it wiser to drink what I already have (first).
any particular style favorites? a formal brewing company in the works?
cheers, man.

 

This post still saddens me. So to the point.

 

Congratulations man. I have a complete home brewing setup but have never used it. I haven't done enough research on what I actually need to do as the instructional book/DVD suck.

When you gonna send me some donkers IPA's?

 

Fedex says my box has arrived........crossing fingers its all safe....

 

A great resource is the American Homebrew Association. They have step by step guides for beginner, intermediate, and advanced. Sanitation is really important as well.

 

Lookup your local homebrew club. It's probably listed on the AHA website, or ask at the nearest homebrew store they'll know. In addition to meeting up with brewers who can help you get started right, you'll probably make some new friends, have a good time, and try a a lot of great beer too!

I always suggest people brew with someone else, at least a few times every now and then, especially when starting up. You'll learn more in a few hour brew session with an experience brewer than all the time you spend reading online.

 

Thanks! I've been brewing for a long time, currently working on a brewery (lil beaver brewery), and I'm all about the stouts and sours...
