[strange-steve]

@Aaron Rennie yours has arrived.
@Leon103 I'm still waiting confirmation for one of yours.
@samale both of yours have arrived safe :thumba:

 

[ClownPrince]

I'm pretty sure one of mine has arrived.
Do you know if the other has Steve?

 

[big yogi]

The 1 that I have received is a 6.5% mouison saison

 

[uDicko]

Got one, waiting for one.

 

[strange-steve]

@Leon103 both of yours have indeed arrived
@ClownPrince I've only had one confirmed so far

All the bottles have been sent, and as far as I can tell only 2 were posted after the deadline. The members receiving the ones which will be late have been told.

Be interesting to hear the review of the 17% stout. That's up past buckfast territory

Well here we are again already, Halloween is thankfully out of the way and it's getting near that time again. The secret Santa swap has been a big success over the last couple of years and hopefully this year will be even more popular :thumba:

For those that are new, the idea is that you will anonymously send a beer to another forum member and in return you will receive a mystery brew from someone else. Then on or around Christmas day I'll create a review thread where you can post a review or some brief comments on the beer.

This is open to all types of brewers, from kits to AG, beginners to old hands. Don't be put off by the thought of your beer being reviewed, the idea isn't for a competition style deconstruction but rather some positive and constructive feedback, and more importantly the opportunity to try another brewer's beer

So if this sounds like something you'd be interested in post "I'm in" or something similar below and send me a PM with your postal details. After the closing date I will PM you with an address to send your beer to. The closing date for entries will be 4th December which will give you 2 weeks to package and post your bottle before the last recommend postal date for Christmas which is the 18th. I recommend sending before this though to allow the beer a few days to settle.

So don't be shy people, let's have your entries. Also if you'd like to swap more than one beer just say so below (you'll get more than one in return then):hat:

Last year we had 29 people sending 48 beers, can we top that?

Cheers, Steve

How many people joined in/how many bottles were sent this year, strange-steve?
