A memorial beer for GreenwoodRover?

flyangler18 · Aug 10, 2009

There does seem to be an error with the Donations module, however.

My interaction with Kevin was limited, but I enjoyed chatting with him just the same. He'll be missed.

Tried to donate but I'm getting an error message. PM on its way to Tx.

If you donate to his account I would be glad to pass on the amount to his family, I will also refund his Lifetime membership costs to add to the coffer.

Is there a way to take the 15.00 out of my account and move it to the fund? Now that I am lifetime I won't be putting it towards my membership.

You can leave the 6 cents...maybe it will help me to be psychic.

Lemme know if you can do it.

Thanks, TX

PM sent to TxBrew regarding Donation page error.

I wonder.

Is it possible to donate anonymously to Keveins HBT account and then, at some point have TxBrew send a check to his survivors?

I am just thinking about funeral costs, income loss, etc....

I think this, a memorial brew and memorial prize are the best way for us to honor his memory

There is also a transfer option on the same page as the link. Seeing as how Bernie x-ferred his bit I think that one is working.

I'm missing something, where is this link to which you speak? And thanks for the info.

Revvy, here you go. The second box down allows you to transfer and is apparently working.

Excellent! Hooray HBT.

I am all for a memorial beer but, think that any monetary donations given would have a greater impact to the surviving family. Times are hard enough when all the available income is there. I have to believe that by having this community pitch-in with much needed support that it will leave an indelible impression on Laura as well as ease some of her burdens in the days to come.

Awesome guys.....It's done and done!!!!!

Kevin was in the Kolsch swap and included his recipe for an ESB that he sent in the swap. I need to dig that up when I get home tonight. I never pitch any recipes but my filing system is lacking... any other kolsch swappers have a copy?

That will need to be my next batch....

I have the exact same problem as you. If you find it, could you post the recipe? If I do, I'll do the same. It was a really great ESB even though I didn't get an official chance to review it.

AnonyBrew · Aug 10, 2009

Regarding the donation account, are we sure the family will have access to this money and that it won't just sit there? I don't know how HBT accounts work.

TxBrew · Aug 10, 2009

Give me an hour and I'll have that issue fixed.

IrregularPulse · Aug 10, 2009

Are you linking it straight to his paypal?

dataz722 · Aug 10, 2009

Its just my opinion but I think mailing a check might be a better idea. I don't know the correct "manners" for the situation though. I mean what if his wife never checks the paypal account and that money just sits there forever.

Guys, you need to read.

Should be fixed.

The donation link is working now. And, I have started a new thread specific to this;

Will do. I thought it was a pretty good ESB as well.

Revvy · Aug 10, 2009

Oh it feels so good to be a part of this community. When I transferred my balance from my account the total was only 20 bucks...now we are almost up to 250.00

We're awesome!!!!

If I got run over by a bus tomorrow, I would be honored to have a beer brewed for me... I think this is a very fitting tribute. I'm in.

OLB · Aug 10, 2009

Count me in for whatever is decided on.

GreenwoodRover - Shiver Me Bitters - Memorial Swap?

IrregularPulse · Aug 11, 2009

Was this a completed recipe or was he tweaking it? I thought I'd seen mention of a final recipe he'd been tweaking.or was that different. Would it be disrepectful to change the yeast on this? Or kind of in the spirit of homebrewing. I want to try a Belgian Strain and this looks like a decent recipe for that.

I think he would have enjoyed the idea of all of us putting our own touches on the recipe and doing variations on the theme.

Thanks for doing that

No problem!

Agreed. He never struck me as a stickler for a posted recipe...

Thanks for entering that in Rick.

If anyone hasn't given already, pleas do....https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f19/greenwoodrover-donations-131666/

As someone said in that thread, college ain't cheap.

Laughing_Gnome_Invisible · Aug 11, 2009

Does anyone want to step forward and take up the memorial brew as a project? We could use a leader, I think. Whatever we decide on, I think we need a unified label for the brew as it will hopefully get passed around. If the brew is going to be different in every case, then a label for the back with a printed recipe too maybe.

Project leader please?

IrregularPulse · Aug 11, 2009

I'll take a stab at a label today. Not much of an organizer though. I know there are much better label makers than I too.
I Vote for going ahead with the bitter recipe feeling free to alter it via yeast, hop availability and what not.

I found his social club logo and as you can see I've changed my avatar.

I suggest that we change out avatars in some way to honor Kevin through the end of this month.

I'm up for it, but I can't seem to grab or save that as an avatar. The big pic is too large, and for some reason I can't seem to save it, and your own avatar has the wrong file extension.

Can you help an idiot out and post an easily usable pic?

Gnomey, right click on the one ollllo posted. Go to save picture as, save it to your desktop, then go to your user cp and edit avatar. Go to browse and upload it from your desktop.

Are we doing the same one or making our own? I'm just altering mine to reflect it. I use avatars to reference who is positing what. Everyone having the same avatar would throw me off severly.

I was thinking the same thing but I couldn't really come up with anything.

IrregularPulse · Aug 11, 2009

I just altered my current one so people could still recognize the avatar

Can't really tell but it says Greenwood Rover Memorium up top

IrregularPulse · Aug 11, 2009

Why don't we just add that Crest in the bottom corner of our current avatar? Discrete like a black arm band.

A memorial beer for GreenwoodRover?
