    If I had a clue how to actually use excel I would've made a spreadsheet for all these hints. Downside of working outside I guess.

    Time for the next round of the CIF (Cushion It Forward)!

    Invite list:
    Obviously anyone in the Summer Newbie BIF 2015 is encouraged to participate. I'll open this up to lurkers as well. The only requirement is at least 5 trades and 100% feedback. In the spirit of the Newbie BIF anyone with less than 5 trades or with less than 100% feedback is welcome to join with a veteran sponsor. Veteran lurkers are also welcome @Mipper . I will ask that you only sign up if you are committed to keeping the #CIF going.

    The beer: In an effort to keep the #CIF moving along I'm going to limit the beer to a 6-8 bottle shipper with a range of 100 oz. to 152 oz. of 85+ Rated beer, or 4.1+ rAvg if there are too few scores for a rating. Beer must be from outside your target's distribution.

    How it works: If you want a chance at these red chair cushions all you have to do is send me a BM titled "#CIF I'm in!". Include your name, full shipping address (work or home?), phone number, email address, and your Untappd name (optional). Let me know about any shipping date restrictions and style preferences. I will close down sign ups on Tuesday December 8th. I will choose a BA at random and ship on within the next week. Rather than announce the recipient I will keep this info to myself. The lucky BA who is surprised by Chad's cushions will add their BA handle and location to the cushions with a permanent marker. At this point the sign ups will start over and anyone who hasn't received the #CIF box is eligible. If we get to a point where no one signs up then I become the target by default.

    Feel free to BM me with any questions.

    #CIF

    The king is in the building tonight. Glad someone shared and I didn't go through the mess to try and get cans, not a major improvement on regular Julius and tastes pretty close to Haze. Still delicious, just not worthy of its spot on the hype train

    To my target, your boxes are packed and shipping on Monday. Beer and swag in one and just swag in the other. By the end of the week you guys can forget all about my cockamamie hints. All I'll say about the contents is that I really hope my wife doesn't notice the Fedex bill for this one and your porch can handle the devastation. :grimacing::grimacing::grimacing::grimacing::grimacing::grimacing:

    Hmm, now I'm getting a bit nervous. FedEx was supposed to deliver my box yesterday, still haven't got my tracking to update and my target hasn't posted it as being received. :slight_frown:

    It's December and we're talking about FedEx, I wouldn't worry about it until Tuesday.

    Picked up the last couple of items for my box today and now will have a culling process to make limits. Got some great fresh hops on my targets wants list today. Should be shipping early next week.

    Speaking of limits how strict are we gonna be , I know max is 180, but is 225 too much / 190 too much. I'm still struggling to thin down over here

    I don't think anyone will rat you out for sending a little over :wink:, but going way over will be noticeable on the pics.

    Got it, but I'd say way over is somewhere around 70 oz or so (6pk ish)
