I'm up for round 5 whenever it happens...beggars can't be choosers. As always I am grateful for the work you ladies put into the group buys. With that being said, I would probably have bought more grain if the buy had fallen near a payday (once a month). For obvious reasons I don't want to order 5 sacs then realize I can't pay for it a week later. So next time the orders start flying in, I will most likely be stocking up with more than one sac.

Funny how one of the last ones to pay is the first to ask when it's getting here. Weird...

Depending on day / time, I will gladly volunteer to help unstack / inventory / prep the delivery. Just get me the details.
I'll be happy to come along also and drink beer while you sort it all out.:rockin:

I actually started heating water before I sent the payment .... It's all I can do to not send a bi-hourly PM... The pot has "boiled-off" 27 times

Thanks hanibal for the offer .
I it is on the table . You have my word a an Eagle scout and pharmacist.
I have avoided the hobby for many years , knowing that beer making science would be highly addictive.
I am presently looking at my wyeast 1028 english yeast starter spinning on my home made stir plate , it is on the 3 phase so I can use it a starter for a big arrogant bastard clone.
Having a good foundation in base grain would allow me to concentrate on getting a mill and preparation my hops garden.
Thanks bunches

Add me to that list. I work out of my house so my schedule is flexible. If you need somebody to haul sacks into individual piles and check off pickups, I'd be happy to help.

Once I know when the delivery will be, I will work out when the pickup will be. Then you slackers can come move all this **** while I drink beer!

And I'm sure one of us could spot you 10 freakin' lbs of 2-row. I think we probably have 3 or 4 metric tons between the GRABASS gang.

Ok.. just making sure I have the situation straight in my head.
You have no equipment to actually brew, but you are worried about when you'll get your grain.
There is an expression "putting the cart in front of the horse" that comes to mind here.
Or "letting all of the tools out of the shed" applies too.

I got bad news for you. You are already WAY behind here.
There is NO WAY that current keg is going to last you another 4 or 5 weeks.

They made is basically impossible to enter. It was announced only 4 weeks before the deadline for submissions. No way I would be comfortable submitting a beer that was less than 6 weeks old.

You don't have to brew specifically for the competition! Don't you have any homebrew laying around?
OP
OP
Of course I've always got homebrew.
My point was that the deadline basically forced you into looking at what you had in the pipeline for a submission. no chance to brew up something specifically for the competition.
Yup, it's a very good idea that was badly marketed. I suspect they had some success with previous Brew it Forward events and didn't think they needed to publicize this one. Or they just got behind (like the rest of us) and announced it late.
To be fair, one of the requirements is
The opening date was February 1 with a close date of March 5, so in theory if you knew it was coming you could purpose-brew a beer for the competition. Otherwise you're screwed.
I know I got the email from Lonerider announcing the contest and thought, "Hey that looks grea . . . oh, maybe next year."
OP
OP
I actually was complaining about this specific point a few weeks ago and was wondering if it was the reason that they announced so late.
It's not fair to push a professional brewery's 4 week schedule on a homebrewer. They have equipment that can carb up multiple barrels of beer in a matter of a couple of hours. But a homebrewer who bottles their beer has only one option, and that is to wait for at 2 weeks for their beer to carb.
Hey guys, since you all are on here BS'n
I'm putting an APB out for a cheap fridge if you know of anything. (currently checking Craigs List)
If you want to hear about bad timing.......I kegged two diff beers last night and was so excited about actually having 3 different beers on tap when my kegerator quit on me.
WTF? I've been brewing strong for a few months now so I can have variety Bahhhh....

For you new guys, and you old guys that just don't pay attention and follow directions, this does NOT mean that pickup is next Wednesday!!! I will go to the brewery today and find out what day works for them and we will go from there. I have a meeting next Wednesday night and I am going to the hockey game Thursday so we'll have to sort it out with my and the brewery's schedules. I will report back after I talk to them with a potential pickup date.
Damn, you all have another order in place already. I should be ready next time. Love having bulk grain and hops lying around. Since mid-jan I've done 20 gal of IIPA, 10 gal American wheat and 10 gal of brown ale.
