Just a reminder that for any of the people that signed up to the forum just for SS (new members within the last few months), you do have an additional hoop to jump though. I'll be sending you a PM at the end of the week, you need to reply back to confirm your status as an active forum user by the deadline for entries (Sunday at 11:59 PST). If I don't hear from you, I'll assume you are going to be similarly problematic when it comes to actually sending beer, and thus you'll get left off of the list when I determine names.

Sounds reasonable! Can't wait for this, I keep going through the styrafoam boxes at work to get the perfect one for shipping.

Which reminds me... if anyone hasn't shipped before, you'll want to go through one of the other package delivery companies, not through the postal service. As for packing your box, the main idea is that you want each bottle cushioned to keep it from hitting other bottles, or the ends being close to the box to take damage from the outside.

This is my procedure:
    Wrap each bottle in bubble wrap
    Place bottles in large zip top bags (I use 2 gal freezer bags)
    Prepare box, line bottom with bubble wrap or other material
    Place open garbage bag in box
    Place ziptops with bottles inside garbage bag
    Pack newspaper or other material around the outside of the garbage bag
    Squeeze as much air as you can out of the bag
    Twist and tie the garbage bag (don't use the drawstrings)
    Pack more paper on top of the garbage bag
    Close flaps and tape shut
    Make sure bottom is also well taped

Should any of the bottles break, the bubble wrap should contain the glass shards, while the ziptop bag and garbage bag shold contain the liquid. I'd suggest any sort of labeling of you beers be done in a beer-proof manner, just in case. If you identify the contents of the package as beer, they won't ship it. I've never marked my packages as 'fragile' or 'yeast samples' as some have suggested, I rely on my packaging to get it there regardless of how it's handled, and treat it like just any ol' package.
