    Question for you guys, do you put all single bottles? I did put single of all 500ml or 750ml, but I did put doubles of some 341ml beers. Sounds good to you?

    For the record, 233oz is ridiculous. Is that a type-o? lol. I thought my box was loaded and it was only 164 oz. This BIF is turning out great so far!!!

    Do you mean if it's bigger than a 12oz bottle you sent one. But if they were 12oz bottles you send 2? I don't understand the question.

    yup, exactly, when it was possible. So I was wondering if you all think it's better to put only one of each, even for the 11oz bottles?

    Apologies to my target, my package wont be out till Monday or Tuesday.....busy week and waiting for a local release to hit the shelves.

    Any one else finding it hard to get fresh IPA's? Maybe it's just Alberta.

    People (for the most part) would prefer variety, I'd put my vote in for several different bottles than doubles of the same. My box is up to 140oz, hoping to squeeze another 12oz in there, but we'll see how it goes!

    I actually like the idea of doubling up on 12oz'ers, as with my tasting group I can't easily share 12's, I need at least 22oz or we're down to thimble-sized samples for each person. Mind you, if I only have one 12oz, I guess I don't have to share with the group then! :stuck_out_tongue:

    I'm waiting for a local release too, trying to get some brews as fresh as possible. Should be able to get it out before the end of the week.

    My package was dropped off today as promised. Expected to arrive Friday to a city that is within the top 10 largest municipalities in Canada and is 15 days and 21 hours away on foot. Thankfully FedEx will cover that distance much faster.

    Packed and ready to ship. Sending it out tomorrow.

    FYI ON SHIPPING:

    If you have a pay pal account, you send a friend, spouse, etc 1 cent for a "service", that person can in turn print a shipping label to any address. You get expedited Canada post service, that is actually cheaper then the Canada post regular 6 - day parcel rate, and you print the label at home. Just thought I would share.

    My package is on its way. Somebody is going to burp hops for the foreseeable future.

    FedEx has delivered the package to my target. It is apparently waiting for someone on their "back porch" ... don't all rush out to check your back porch at once now :slight_smile:
