So 12 am central right?

Yes, Central standard time.

Who's brewing Friday while all the ladies are out shopping? I'm re-brewing an oatmeal stout that I brewed a month ago, have to tweek the recipe.

Big10Seaner · Nov 25, 2011

Ok cool, I'm brewing a bourbon coffee stout tomorrow!

2BeerSpeer · Nov 25, 2011

waited ill midnight to order a pound of 7C's and a pound of Zythos and realized that you are Central Time (after checkout)....any way to call and adjust it so I get the sale price?

NJstout · Nov 25, 2011

so its at 1pm est?

Steelers77 · Nov 25, 2011

Yes in 20 min it will be go time.

testingapril · Nov 25, 2011

Is the website getting hammered or is it down while the deals are uploaded?

Big10Seaner · Nov 25, 2011

System error?

EarthBound · Nov 25, 2011

I apologize for being part of the crowd that's crashing your server.

Yep, can't connect either =(

rjsnau · Nov 25, 2011

I think it is getting hammered. I saw the prices but when I went to add them to my cart it crashed.

I have a solution. Everyone stop hitting the site so I can process my order then you can resume!

xeerohour · Nov 25, 2011

Joining the chorus - it appears that we have a new 'homebrewtalk' effect that is capable of crashing servers

maffewl · Nov 25, 2011

Same problem here... hit add to cart at 12:00 and it's been "Connecting" ever since...

or clearing out vendors stock before the sales even go public. i.e. keg connection :mug:

Peter_h · Nov 25, 2011

Same here.

theveganbrewer · Nov 25, 2011

I think we broke hopshack.com earlier.

stevedasleeve · Nov 25, 2011

Well I waited and selected and clicked add and got an error and then your site stopped responding. I get that things go wrong occasionally but this is the third site that has touted "big sale'" at midnight and not a one worked! You'd think this might be a situation where maximum care was taken to get the buys in this economy on this day but... whatever I'm off to bed. I have enough hops to get me through a few more months.

A minute too soon...

I really did not anticipate this happening, I'm trying to figure out a solution.

SteakGrisel · Nov 25, 2011

Lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mail order! Screw the internet.

theveganbrewer · Nov 25, 2011

Either there are a heck of a lot more people on this forum than I thought, or the vendors have much worse web hosting that I thought. This is the 3rd website to go down already.

bovineblitz · Nov 25, 2011

Guess I'm going to bed then. Hope I don't miss out.

Steelers77 · Nov 25, 2011

We have never had this happen, I'm shocked.

calebawilson · Nov 25, 2011

Too bad I had my hopes up for some hops.

I was thinking the same thing.

Call you hosting provider and tell them what's going on and see if they can push some more horsepower your way temporarily?

It's midnight on Thanksgiving-ish.

maffewl · Nov 25, 2011

Finally got to see my cart, but now all I'm getting is a "System Error" message...

TheEndlessObsession · Nov 25, 2011

Well I have to be at work in four hours anyway, so I'll be up. Hope it gets fixed soon for the early birds.

R2-D2 · Nov 25, 2011

Just took some NyQuil. Hope I am still awake when the site gets fixed. I have about 10-12 hops I was going to order.

Web hosting is a 24/7/365 business, and his site is down.

Kinda what I was thinking. Worst case I get it fixed and continue on tomorrow.

Even though the site is on Godaddy, which is a big provider, he isn't getting through to anybody at this hour that can do anything. It's too decentralized. I am a web designer and I have dealt with a ton of hosts. If anything, he'll call and they'll tell him they need to repopulate the servers and it should be back within a hour.

theveganbrewer · Nov 25, 2011

The site is working, albeit slowly, and I have made it to the final part of checkout.

mccumath · Nov 25, 2011

Ahhhh man! Bummer deal! I was looking forward to buying some hops for EdWort's Haus Pale Ale!

Gotta love the interwebz...

I figured it was godaddy, their windows servers suck, and their linux servers aren't much better. It's dirt cheap, but you get what you pay for.

I put a question mark because I wouldn't figure they'd do much either, but it's probably worth a phone call.

theveganbrewer · Nov 25, 2011

I meant to say if, I don't know if it's in Godaddy. I just imagined they had a large customer service dept. because they suck.
