Hey guys, I'm about to start my VERY FIRST beer trade and need help with ideas for packing so the bottles don't get broken. Do the styrofoam bottle holders work best? What's cheaper? What's more expensive? Thank you in advance!
Styro shippers are more expensive but make me feel more secure in sending things. You'll hear things from both sides of that argument though. This is generally the site people recommend for advice: http://alewatcher.blogspot.com/2010/11/new-trader-tips.html

Now that summer is over, swimming pool noodles are on clearance. I bag the bottles individually and then wrap them with the noodles. then the same as everyone else, bubble wrap, packing material double box etc.
