Tettnanger Hops for Charity
|
|
As many of you know, I came into some bulk hops recently. Many HBT supporters got in on some of them through a lottery that was held in the members only forum and while I'm disappointed I couldn't get more hops to more people, I did what I could. I reserved a certain amount for my local homebrew club because without them, I wouldn't have had the contact to get ANY of the hops. To cut to the chase, I have 3 pounds of Tettnanger left that the club doesn't need. Instead of going back to the lottery list, I think a nice thing to do would be to auction off the 3 pounds (one pound each person) and donate the money to the Betty Ford Center. I don't have any personal story about addiction or anything, I just think it's the most hobby appropriate cause out there.
So, post here what you're willing to donate. The three highest bids June 24th at 11pm eastern time will win. Payment will be made by paypal and shipping will be via UPSP priority mail.
The pound of Tett is 2007 crop, pelletized, 4.2% alpha in a foodsaver bag.

Is this a silent auction, Bobby? Do the prices that we bid include shipping?

Sorry I wasn't clear. You can post your per-pound bids publicly in this thread. I think it will help me keep my sanity. I will only ship one pound to one person, thus your bid should reflect what you're willing to donate to get one pound of Tett. If only two people bid, I suppose the higher bidder will have the option for two pounds but I suspect at least three people will pony up for a good cause.
Whatever you post as your bid is what you will pay. I'll cover the actual shipping cost from so that the donation is exactly the sum of the three winning bids. I hope that's more clear.
In case anyone doesn't know me or trust me, I will post proof that the money actually did go to the charity.
