Low mash temp? Or temp drop during the mash?

I'm thinking I'm going to have to pull out of this experiment. With my schedule the way it's been I haven't had a chance to bottle this beer and it doesn't look like I'm going to be able to any time soon. Sorry gents.

I might be in the same boat. However I might be able to bottle Friday. It might not be carb'ed on time, but at least I should have bottles for everyone.

And we should now start talking about availability for December tasting. Are we aiming for mid-month? And I think we're aiming for a Fri or Sat event, so we can enjoy a bit more than at a Tuesday event.
Dec 7/8, 14/15 or 21/22?

Mine was bottled Monday. The holidays are closing in fast - would people be more comfortable doing the bottle swap & tasting early Jan?

i would, the holidays are busy for everyone especially those with kids. I think January is a better option and it will give the guys who have brewed and not bottle a chance to squeeze it in. FWIW I don't mind getting bottle that aren't carbed up yet as long as I know I have to wait to try them.
"Twenty years ago — a time, by the way, that hops such as Simcoe and Citra were already being developed, but weren’t about to find immediate popularity — there wasn’t a brewer on earth who would have gone to the annual Hop Growers of American convention and said, “I’m going to have a beer that we make 4,000 barrels of, one time a year. It flies off the shelf at damn near $20 a six-pack, and you know what it smells like? It smells like your cat ate your weed and then pissed in the Christmas tree.” - Bell’s Brewery Director of Operations John Mallet on the scent of their popular Hopslam.

I could probably squeeze in Dec 14th or 15th... barely... but Jan would be better

So what indicates the hops on the spreadsheet that are already taken? I'm thinking about seeing if I can get one brewed up in time.

I think most of us brewed with what is listed as choice 1 - I think erslar00 may have switched his though.
