tokimedo Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 just curious: for trades, do you ship alcohol via mail? NEVER. fedex or UPS only. private, not federal. its illegal to ship alcohol via USPS (and across state lines without a license) but its only against fedex and ups policy to ship alcohol and they dont really mind as long as its packed well. four things to remember when packing beer 1)pack so tight that nothing moves or shifts 2) no bottles touching 3) tape all openings/corners well. one piece of tape across the bottle wont cut it. 4) throw in some mac n cheese or something to mask the sound of liquid. if they ask, its olive oil or yeast samples. I usually tell them its glassware but packed well. i pack my boxes like tanks. WAXXX 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Butcha Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 I'd totally be down if anyone wants to trade for some portland beers. Also Jon, did you ever grab a massive from gigantic before you left? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirac Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Late to the thread here. I'm based in London, UK and we've had an explosion of 'micro brewerys', within a square mile around my house there are something like 10 of them! There are so many different ones it's hard keeping up. Some of my favorites are Beavertown 'Gamma Ray' and Brick Brewery's 'Sir Thomas Gardyner' and 'Archway Steam'.

mitchard Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 I'd totally be down if anyone wants to trade for some portland beers. I'm really diggin de Garde lately. How easy is it to find in Portland? I should just drive down there. Its only a five hour drive. Plus I can hit Cascade on the way home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stranaspank Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Whoa, that's awesome. How old is that plant? I tried to grow cascade and centennial this year. Both were pretty near death a month ago. Manure revived the centennial and it's now about 10-12'. I doubt it'll flower this year. Cascade looks bad, but we'll see if it tries again next year.

imaxcowboyx Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 ^ and Four Loko. All that aside though, here's what I don't get: who wants to sit down and drink 6 super sweet sodas that just happen to have a small amount of booze in them? I'd just buy A&W and some whiskey if that was my plan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imaxcowboyx Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 also, drank a lambic from 1957 tonight. super interesting stuff. It was oxidized but not overly so, and not aggressively sour. With the plum oxidation and fruity apricot sourness, it actually made me think of those weird little Pluot fruits. real tasty anthemforadoomed, tokimedo, WAXXX and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was shocked that I got any cones at all since it's the first year, but they blew up. Those are my Cascades, but the Centennials I have next to them are also to the top of the 18' line. They are nowhere close to the capacity of the Cascades, but they are starting to show a few flowers. I'll see if I have a picture of the full trellis...

skadaddy Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Found it: I've already come up with a design for Hop Trellis V2.0 that will get rid of the sag in the upper line. Those Cascades ended up a lot heavier then I anticipated. hippielauryn and imaxcowboyx 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchard Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 My keezer died last weekend. Got married a couple weeks ago so i'm broke as shit at the moment and can't build a new one quite yet. My life is in shambles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
