I'm not sure what we'll do with all of them but I bottled a dozen bottles of this. I took 2 - one as a helper and 1 as a bottler. One is for James who helped me bottle. Obviously 2 for ryan as brewmaster, I don't remember who else helped. They're the unlabelled bottles in the secret beer fridge, in the sixpacks. The labelled ones are obviously what they are. - eric | I'm not sure what we'll do with all of them but I bottled a dozen bottles of this. I took 2 - one as a helper and 1 as a bottler.
