Packing Tips

Seltzer/Beer/Cider/Mead/Wort/Wine/Kombucha
  • Please be sure to label samples with your "Sample ID's".
  • Place bottles or cans in zip-locs.  (or plastic bags)
  • Wrap ziplocs with newspaper and/or bubble wrap to protect.  Overall, the box should be packed tight.
  • You can also ship in any other suitable containers.  i.e. water bottles, jars, cans, etc.  Degas or fill only 3/4 to allow gas expansion.
  • Wort can be shipped frozen.  (overnight with cold packs or dry ice)
  • Beer cans bottles, wine bottles ship great with these:  http://spiritedshipper.com/  

Hops
  • Please be sure to label samples with your "Sample ID's".  
  • Baggies work well for all types of hop samples.
  • IMPORTANT!  For wet hops squeeze out excess air to prevent condensation.  No vacuum sealing.
  • For wet hops - Shipping Boxes are much better than shipping pouches / bags​.
  • For wet hops - Leave some room for newspaper/insulation
  • Ship fresh wet hops 2-Day or Overnight.  
    • For the most cost effective rates, check the USPS Priority map below.  (i.e. large box 2-Day from SoCal costs $11.80)
    • If you are in a 2-Day zone ship basic USPS Priority Shipping (or ask for 2-Day shipping).
    • If you are in a 3-Day area, consider overnight USPS Priority Express, or UPS, FedEx.  In cooler weather not a problem.
  • Dried whole hops or pelletized do not require expedited shipping.
