SWTFYW Hints and Hauls!!!

Thanks for the critique. I agree that it would benefit from a bit less vanilla, a bit more barrel, and lot more CO2. For those coming to the bottle share, we will be tasting a carbonated example. Now I have to go open 40 waxed bottles to put a hardier yeast strain in. They might be ready for the next bottleshare.

Stuff and things. (?? I really have no idea, but all the cool kids are doing it.)

 

@smonice had a founders breakfast Stout in your honor since a baby is on the label

 

Random question but wanted to check with anyone here before putting up a regular ISO. My good friend who's big into craft beer (but not on here) just had a baby and named him Everett. I'd love to get him some as a baby-warming (is that even a term? If not I call dibs on starting the trend) present. Anyone here have an extra bottle or two from the recent release they'd be willing to trade? Let me know and I will make it worth your while.

 

ISO: more carbonated (or any version) of this!!!!!! What trade can we work out to get this done? Would love to have one to simultaneously open during the bottle share!

Stuff and things

 

Hell yea!! I wouldn't mind trying it either!!

More stuff and things.

 

I freaking loved it with all that vanilla. Could have used a graham cracker to eat with it and it would have solidified the s'mores taste I was getting. But holy marshmallow it was good. Carb or not I was all good with it. Now my turn to make a graham vanilla bourbon stout

 

so question for the group as i dont know the value for these, but i was trying to get a cherry rye, 2012 bc coffee, and a 2011 prairie noir. trader wants 14-16 bottles of the 2013 bc stuff, preference for regular and coffee more than barleywine. is that a fair trade?

 

12 would be pretty close to fair for me. Not sure the cost on the prairie. But cherry rye. And the coffee were in the 16-20 bones area last year from what I have been told. Me personally I don't know that I would trade that much BCBS unless I had an overload of it.

 

That's an awful lot of beer on your end. I'd do it for 10-12 probably, that's just my dos pesos.

 

I would do 10-12 (8 reg and 4 coffee) like TBA stated, but my next question would be: Why are you trading new coffee for old coffee.

I have been hearing some bad things in regards to the 2012 coffee, especially since the 2013 is so damn good.

My trade would look like this:

4 - reg
4 - coffee (if you have more than this...do not trade away all of your coffee)
2 - Barleywine

for

1 - Cherry Rye
1 - Prairie Noir

 

Unless you really want 2011 noir I think 8 to 10 bottles for the other 2 makes sense. Noir production is ramped up this year and is getting more distribution. It's a 9 dollar bottle. Go for the $10-$11variants (coffee or vanilla)

 

This year noir will be a 12 ounce, the 2011 is a 750 corked and caged.

 

I think my favorite part of SWTFYW is I don't really ever have to visit ISO/FT. I'd be perfectly content trading with this group for the rest of my days.

 

thanks for the responses. i was going in the 10 range myself, 6 regular, 2 bw, and 2 coffee, with possibly going to 12. i guess i wanted to compare the old coffee with the new coffee, and get another cherry rye since my wife spilled her half of the bottle we split. catch is the trader is looking for a larger size trade, so thats why im trying to lump in other stuff. i will get back with him and let him know he is off a bit as i thought.

 

Pretty sure we should be given permission to set up our own sub forum specifically for this group.

 

very true...BTW...been playing around with the Stout app and it seems to be coming along nicely. Its a little slow, but so are most apps I use.

 

Working on the slow issue already. It's due to the caching of pictures which should be fixed in the next update. Also gonna be adding a few other features in the very near future. Definitely keep the suggestions coming though! Wish we had more developers working on it though.

 

So I just shipped my entire cellar from tx to ma please have my beer in your thoughts and prayers over 200lbs across 6 boxes. Gulp. ....

 

may the beer gods provide safe transport

 

Hope this all makes it there safe and sound! Looking forward to meeting you as you pass through Chicago!!
