Polystyrene Bottle Packaging (a la Dads_ale's bottle swap)

Notlaw · May 13, 2016

Anyone interested in getting some more of those boxes that dads_ale used for his bottle swap. If you buy 15, they work out just under 3 quid a pop. If 3 of us fancy 5 each, i'll get them and send on your 5 to you from my work.

hi Notlaw,

would be interested and was looking at this myself and found these:

look same sort of pricing and if you can send two bottle for the same ÃÂ£2.85 small parcel postage would that be better?

I would be interested. Would prefer the single bottle option.

darkbright · May 14, 2016

The only thing to watch out for on the double bottle packaging is the 2kg weight limit on small parcels. I know that two of the single packs weighs just above 2kg with glass 500ml bottles.

All you need do is, everytime you make a beer, post one to me. That'll soon use em up. I'll PM you my address

wfr42 · May 14, 2016

I'd take 3 if you want to do 3 between 5.

Or some other combo if they have other options.

Actually, a few of us getting them in 3s isn't a bad shout. Swapping 3 beers at a time could mean swapping more often maybe.

dan125 · May 16, 2016

Sorry - missed this.
I'd be up for a few , 3 sounds good, but I wouldn't mind either way.

F00b4r · May 17, 2016

Demig and I will take six between us.

Leon103 · May 17, 2016

So how many are there of us now?

Hoddy · May 17, 2016

I don't know how many but I could be in for this if we can get it to work.

This was obviously a joke, but....Niman actually did send me some beer!

Two bottles of Brown Porter which I'm looking forward to testing out this eve.

The packaging is a double barrel affair so you can send two bottles rather than just the one. Niman told me to re-use the packaging. So rather than just sending some beer back to him I'm going to do a 'pay it forward' style bottle swap/pass on. Where I'll send some beer to a forumite and that forumite will send some beer to another, and so on until the packaging is useless.
I've recently bottled a Smoked Porter so I think I'm be sending that but it needs a bit more conditioning (I'm guessing a total of 4 weeks) to mellow out the smokyness a bit.When it's ready I'll do a thread

Thanks again Niman for free beer. Top bloke :thumb:

Just slurping on Nimans Brown porter. It's lovely. Niman tells me the reciepe is from this book http://www.thehomebrewforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=60074.

It's very smooth and not very roasty. The porter has a lovely sweet candy taste to it. I'm not sure where this would come from though. It definately doesn't taste like it's from the crystal.

Evening
Just wondered if this is likely to go ahead, or if there's any update?
: cheers:

Leon103 · May 22, 2016

@notlaw are you still able to facilitate this?

darkbright · May 22, 2016

Still up for this if we can arrange it.
