Im a cloudy beer kind of guy. I already have all the ingredients for this aside from the irish moss so I'll do without it

I don't mind cloudy beers, and sometimes make them on purpose (e.g. wheat). But Irish Moss is cheap and easy (just add a bit 10-15 minutes before the end of the boil). That plus letting it sit in a keg close to 32 degrees (aka cold crash) really helped clear them up.

That's a good looking beer, copyright.

Thanks! Tastes good too!

dand9066 said:
It sure does look good.

But how do you put it on its side and it doesn't spill out. Copyright has skill

That's because of that special "anti-gravity" spring water I use here in upstate NY.

ATTENTION:

I am going to make a list of purchasers by HBT Username and post your city beside it so they are all in one spot. With this you could PM people that are in your area and work out grain pickups and what not. I will not post Personal info like name, street address, or phone. That info would be up to you to share. I would put this on the opening post. All of our cities are posted in our tag or whatever it is called on the left so I don't think its a big deal. Let me know if you are opposed to this and I won't include you. This would be posted when we close the buy or maybe sooner because I know some of you are in Ohio thinking about buying.

Example:
dand9066 - Indiana, PA
DMace - Monroeville, PA

Added a split of PBW and Starsan.

I will probably be giving into the temptation to add more grains before it is all over too.

mcgeebc · Mar 9, 2012

I completed the Crystal 60 and Rice Hull split.

Let's fill that third pallet.

hop_head76 · Mar 9, 2012

Closed out the GW Crystal 15 split. This third pallet needs to fill up so I can't be tempted anymore!

trent_77590 · Mar 9, 2012

That carapils is so temping. My wife will throat punch me if I buy anymore grain though

I busted out laughing when I read this!!!

hop_head76 · Mar 9, 2012

I did too then realized I had the same issue!

hop_head76 · Mar 9, 2012

I did too until I realized that I have the same situation.

i have myself down for a 50lb bag of dextrose, but if anyone wants to get a decent chunk of it, that's fine. i probably don't really need that much.

I'll split it with you. I added it to the splits at #24. You can remove the full bag from your order and then complete the split.

It's all fun and games until someone gets throat punched...

trent_77590 · Mar 9, 2012

Thoat punches by a pregnant lady = No fun

coyote68 · Mar 9, 2012

I grabbed the i/2 carapils and 1k caps.
this is getting good......

dand9066 · Mar 9, 2012

Only about 20 sacks away from being able to close it. So i'm not going to check this until Monday morning and its going to be complete and ready for me to send off for the price quote. Ha more like I'll check it in an hr. Then another hr.

But yeah lets close this by Monday so we can get this grain sooner.

Bruwsomtin · Mar 9, 2012

THE FOLLOWING ITEMS ARE NOT AVAILABLE:
ANY Briess Grain... Extracts are OK
Hops/Hop Extract
Fruit Puree
BrewCraft items

I just got this off another group buy... I didnt think Briess Grain was available...might want to check for sure.

We have 14 bags of Briess on the spreadsheet.

I already talked to someone that ordered briess but more and more people went for it. NCM has a contract with briess not to sell to homebrewers. We are using a business account therefore I thought we should be alright. I will get in touch with bugman and see if he can give them a buzz and double check.

good stuff, thanks.

HERE HERE! Just milled the last of my current 2-row.

NO MORE $55 GRAIN SACKS!!! :rockin:

shuggy · Mar 9, 2012

As far as Briess goes, I'm only involved in a carapils split . If it needs to be switched to Best Malz BZ-CPLS I'm all for it. I'm not all that crazy with Breiss as a malster anyways.

dand9066 · Mar 9, 2012

I'm fine with switching. I can't remember who I talked to that ordered briess but they were alright with switching if need be. I'll let you guys know hopefully no later than Monday. I only have bugmans business line so I left a message

DMace · Mar 9, 2012

I just completed the Wheat split - .25

That seems weird. Anybody know the reasoning behind this? I mean money is money right?

too many LHBS complaining maybe...Briess is 90% of the stock that my LHBS sells. Just a quess.

bmickey · Mar 10, 2012

For pickup day you might want to stop here in Monroeville, PA!

http://www.myrivertowne.com/beer-selection_pour-house.asp

I really like their beer selection, anybody else try this place?

hop_head76 · Mar 10, 2012

Oh yeah! They make some real good beer! I love going there the food is real good too!

dand9066 · Mar 11, 2012

Wife and I love it. We're part of the mug club for a second year. I get cravings for their scotch eggs.

sinisterkid · Mar 11, 2012

Any one want to do a split on maris otter?

PJM · Mar 11, 2012

Damn... getting close. Only 14 more bags to go....

bmickey · Mar 11, 2012

Are we supposed to not order Briess malts? If so i need to change my order.

I will find out tomorrow for sure. If your on the order sheet with briess products when it closes you will hold your spot even if you have to swap grains.

dand9066 · Mar 12, 2012

BRIESS:
We have a business account and not an account in just a home brewers name therefore bug believes we can purchase BRIESS products. If that changes I will specifically let anyone know that has place a Briess order.

LETS CLOSE THIS...

wyoohio · Mar 12, 2012

Is there Rye malt on there anywhere?
If so I will add a bag to help close this thing out.
