    The one Texas hint said about 1600 miles which could be PA based on where in Texas. Hmm, but who knows.

    Ok, took the last 20 minutes and went back to page 1, post 1. Pretty sure I have narrowed this down to 2 posters from CA. One looks promising, but the other has posted very few hints so it's hard to tell. If I were a betting man I'd guess @Amarangakis or @Smarty_Pints

    Narrowed down to 4 possible, one of those being unlikely. Not sure i'll get many more hints tho.

    Hint #1 - I'm shipping to a state that has multiple people participating in this BIF.
    Hint #2 - My target has under 100 beers on their want list.
    Hint #3 - My target currently has fewer completed trades than I do on BA.
    Hint #4 - My target is a newer member on BA than myself.
    Hint #5 - My target has made changes to his want list since this BIF started.
    Hint #6 - Shipping East.

    I guess I don't consider the Giants or Jets teams in NJ, although they play in my backyard.

    Either way, looking forward to this BIF!

    All the hints seem to be narrowing it down pretty good.

    Point of curiosity. Is it in poor taste to guess your sender before the package arrives?

    Not at all. Some people gave really obvious clues. It was up to them if they wanted to be vague or straightforward.

    They do not have to confirm or deny it though.

    Ok thanks. I didn't really care either way, I just didn't want to offend the ethos of the BIF if I said that I believe my sender is either andelliotsaid or amarangakis.

    Got a pretty nice 12 shipper packed up ready to go. 15 total beers, 215oz, 7 are wants....

    I thought my box was done, but I keep going back and changing what's in it. And now I'm thinking there's not enough hops... back to the drawing board (not to mention the breweries & packies).

    I've been plotting out my porch bomb for a week now on post it notes at my desk along with everyone's screen names that I have on a piece of paper to figure out if there my sender. If anyone saw these papers they would think I'm very strange.

    For me, Excel is much easier to manage the list of participants and hints. On it all day anyway for work!

    I'm feeling a FL box... :slight_smile:

    Last Hint: I follow my target on Untappd and they have more check-ins than I do

    Plan on shipping Monday but if I can't grab a couple extra bottles this weekend, might have to postpone. I'd like my target to get a little Galaxy High in their life.
