<p>We got our case this morning.</p>
<p></p>
<p>We've tried 2 of the beers</p>
<p></p>
<p>Without looking at the recipe or other reviews, we tasted and made our notes</p>
<p>Then we compared notes and tasted again</p>
<p>Then we looked at the recipes and other reviews</p>
<p>Quite fun and interesting to see what the recipe actually said, and what others tasted too.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Looking forward to the rest of the case... if only we could justify having 11 beers on a Monday...</p>

<p>The last beers have come in and the pick up/ send out boxes are all ready to go. Mate they're looking good!</p>
<p>Aucklanders, you're welcome to drop 'round any evening this week but give me a hoi before you come to make sure I'm home.</p>
<p>I'll not be able to get the others shipped out until Tuesday but they should arrive before the end of the week so not too long to wait - and ready for next weekend.</p>

<p>To help keep track of which beer belongs to who I've used the numbering/ labelling system below written on the lid of each bottle in red marker. Your box contains one of each number except your own.</p>
<p>1. Martin B</p>
<p>2. Richard Jack</p>
<p>3. Matt Smith</p>
<p>4. Tilt</p>
<p>5. Haish</p>
<p>6. Paul Harrison</p>
<p>7. JR</p>
<p>8. Adrian T</p>
<p>9. Dan</p>
<p>10. Stu</p>
<p>11. John H</p>
<p>12. Andrew</p>
<p>I'll finalise the split shipping costs and PM the details to you all for chipping in on Tuesday.</p>
<p>Thanks to you all for making this happen and also thanks have to go to you fellas who've been more than generous sending the odd 'extra for the troubles' beer - there's no need to do so but they'll definitely be enjoyed along with along with the "swappers" sometime soon!</p>
<p>Could anyone who hasn't done so already please whack up your recipe in a separate thread so we can keep track of all the comments in one place.</p>
<p>Cheers and let the CS8 reviewing fun begin! .... I for one find the feedback from brother brewers the most valuable part of the CS experience.</p> Awesome.
