Prior to this trade idea we were only bottling for competition so we didn't bottle much. (only 6 bottles per batch and we need to save them) Now we are putting quit a bit more into bottles (24+ bottles per batch) and intend to send you some. The first one we have ready is an IPA that had an OG of 1.075. We dry hopped it and what I have had from the keg is really good. The next step is to arrange a trade. Let us know what you want to swap. By the way, I have not had time to look for shipping containers. Do you have any suggestions? Can't wait to try your beer.<br/><br/>Freak Hey Travis,

So I postponed the brew day a couple days. It finally cooled down just enough to keep the fermenter at a consistent 50*F. And it will only be getting colder. Woohoo! You should be getting back to normal temps very soon.<br/><br/>Warm swells in the middle of winter are the most frustrating, and uncontrollable variables. I get a little heated up, as does my Bavarian yeast colony. Boohoo! We had that heat wave here in Chicago. So I postponed the brew day a couple days.
