Nothing is expected in return but you have to meet the following qualifications:
1) Live in a state that is legal to ship beer to (sorry, bpgreen)
2) You have to be interested in this beer - d'uh
3) You have to be willing to deal with a trub bottle. The few bottles I got have a lot of sediment in them. You'll likely lose a good ounce or two.
4) You have to like Mosaic hops as it's the only hop in this beer.
5) You have to be willing to give me your honest thoughts. Good or bad.
That's it. If you're interested, simply say so here. Saturday morning I'll take all the names and put them in Excel and let a random number generator pick the winner. I'll then post the winner's name and he/she will need to PM me their address for shipping.
Here's the recipe for those interested:
Batch Size (fermenter): 3.50 gal
Estimated OG: 1.057 SG
Estimated Color: 6.3 SRM
Estimated IBU: 108.8 IBUs

Don't be thrown off by the IBU number shown. This is not an IPA. I would describe it as fruity with VERY mild bitterness. It was meant as a pale ale and not an IPA so it doesn't have a bite to it at all.
This is open to everybody - not just those that I interact with a lot. It doesn't matter if you've been here for 2 years or 2 days. Nor does it matter if you post a lot or not much at all. It'e free beer!
Let the battle begin.
