Wow, I'd hate to do a border crossing with exploded bottles. I've driven from PA to FL with cases in picnic coolers. Freeze some ice packs. I use the flexible plastic types. Cool brew -- then include several ice packs in the center of the cooler. -- I have never tried, but could work... Fill empties 1/2 way with water, leave uncapped (allow for expansion of H2O), freeze. Once frozen -- use your capping tool to cap the bottles, include in the mix. Be sure to label frozen water as such -- avoid confusion :) James Gilbert, BS, MLIS Systems Librarian Whitehall Township Public Library 3700 Mechanicsville Road Whitehall, PA 18052 610-432-4330 ext: 203 -----Original Message----- From: Code for Libraries [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Joshua Gomez Sent: Monday, January 24, 2011 12:11 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [CODE4LIB] Craft Brew Drinkup at Code4lib 2011 Do you guys have any tips on transporting your brews? I've seen a bottle of tequila that exploded in a friend's suitcase on the way back from Mexico and I'd rather not smell like beer all week. -Josh >>> "Mark A.

A small group of Code4libbers is self-organizing a Craft Brew Drinkup at Code4lib. The general idea is that people bring beer that they love or at least think other people should try. We'll find a time to sit and taste everyone's selections. You don't have to bring beer to attend or participate, but it certainly helps to ensure that we have enough to go around. If you're a homebrewer, you're welcome to bring your own if you think it will pass our muster. I have created a signup sheet on the wiki - please post there with your name, location, ideas of what you might bring, and potential requests for others. http://wiki.code4lib.org/index.php/Craft_Brew_Drinkup Mark A.
