As I mentioned last night, hops are ready for pick up. Special thanks to ghoti, neopol, starman and wagz for helping break down almost 300 pounds of hops, weighing, vacuum sealing and then grouping everyone's order. Give those guys the kudos they deserve.
 
I extend a big thank you to everyone participating for yet again making these group buys roll quickly and painlessly. And big thanks to Bill and Ghoti of course, wagz and starman for rocking the splits out like an assembly line...Thanks & looking forward to the next one.
 
That was good fun! Thanks again Bill, Neo, and Ghoti for the legwork. Thanks to everyone else who participated, the bulk prices are well worth a little coordination.

I think next time the preprocessing department could easily shuffle in fulfillment as we go and cut off that hour. Especially if we pre make some bags. Neo - with your sealer could you seal strips down the roll and cut into bags afterwards? Ala roll of garbage bags.

427 & Opteek your hops are safely out in the NW burbs. I'll reach out if I get home early this week but likely Saturday.
 
Many thanks to all of you!

Bill, I'll come by around 2pm on Friday if that's okay.
 
It was great meeting Neopol, Starman, Wagz last night. It was a great time going through all those hops and the best part getting to smell all of them. I will be sending out an email to folks whose order I picked up letting you know my availability for pickup.
 
I will be over your way this afternoon (Wed)...I will shoot for 2pm. Thanks everyone for all the effort! This is great.
 
All I know it was hard to explain to the CPD at 11:30 at night what all those stinky bricks were in my car on the way home..... J/K
