CapnJB wrote:Booster is nothing other than corn sugar used to boost the alcohol content and dry out the beer a bit. You could likely do without it and have a decent session beer (provided the rest of the kit is relatively fresh and you keep your fermentation temps low). You can get some StarSan sanitizer from a local homebrew shop (or Amazon if that's how you roll).

FWIW, if you are interested in homebrewing Northern Brewer is currently offering a free starter kit (buckets and bottling equipment) when you buy a brew kettle and beer kit.

If you are going to get into Homebrewing, I would definitely recommend Northern Brewery. Great site and great supplies. They pretty much sell anything and everything you need from the starter kits to recipe kits to individual supplies.

Mmmmmmmnope. It does mean that, I mean, but it has also long meant "peculiar" and "unusual." Read the usage note in your MW11 Collegiate.

short answer
create a free fed-ex account, then you will see on the upper right hand side upgrade your fed-ex account. enter your code in your tracking center and see the dimensions

mine says smart post..so you may get a direct delivery..smartpost may not be available at your post office/area...maybe?

4.5 pounds of pure goodness coming.

No it's not, mine says smartpost even though its not there yet and has in the past... the only time mine was shipped via home was when it was a replacement crap

Yayz! I haz a shipped!

Smartpost = Fedex hands off to USPS. (Which Sometimes works smooth But then the other times are questionable)

Home generally means Fedex mine states 3day. Which is how amazon always sent my packages.
Think it's amazon that ships out of Washington also. I generally get those in 1-2days.

I wish us all good luck on Our Bundle of Curiosity

hmmm...interesting.

OK, it's left Irving and still placeholders for size & weight...this could be a very long couple of days! ;)

Smartpost is available here-I'm near Portland, OR...usually works fine. Certainly hasn't prevented me from incrementing my square resolutely upward, anyhow, ;)

*waves back* hi!

I just did the fedex trick. I still have the 1lb placeholder with dimensions N/A x N/A x N/A.

Mine just came in (I live in TX), and LOL WOOT. What is with the stuffed cow on the surfboard???

Me Too! we have twin craps. =p

I'm in TX too, and although I've checked FedEx by ref. #, I only see the 1 lb holder. Still haven't got an email with tracking number.

I'm going to guess they're working on finding a suitable Bastion Of Candidates. Even now, I'm trying to concentrate on work and not f5ing the heck out of my email and that FedEx page.

Mine is a somewhat worrying 2.3 pounds. Will be here on the second. Will update with its contents then!

OOOH!! ME TOO!!! HLSBRO! Holla! I'm checking in with my very first Boatload of Cash!

Glad I'm not as hen-pecked as you guys. My wife enjoys seeing the Bags of Crap that I get, and has even gotten a few of her own. And we have nothing to complain about the cost, after getting 20 BOCs, my total cost is -$57. Yes, that's negative $57, since I sold a few of the items. But even better, I've had all this wonderful Crap!

Post a picture please. What was the weight and what batch of crap did it come from?

smiliesrock wrote:Also, what else was in your bundles of cushions?

This wasnt my item, was viet's. I was asking for more info on his bundle too.

I still have a placeholder as I figured I would. I was in the very last set at 9pm on the last day. Im just here waiting patiently. Entertaining myself with yalls weight and dimensions. Wondering what kinds of goodies everyone will get.

No email for shipping yet, but I did the Fedex trick and I have a 1 lb. placeholder with no dimensions.

Wherever you got that, it doesn't matter. (The image link is broken here.) Read your dictionary. This is why pedants make terrible editors.

That's not bad at all. I think the bragging rights and the mystery of the crap is worth the $8. If mine was filled with nothing but Texas air I would laugh my ass off and love it.
