Group Buy in Chicago #4

[PseudoChef]

If need be, I'll send out a battle cry to my club.

 

[SathingtonWilloby]

Just PM'd starman, i'll take the last third of this one:

Crystal 40 or 60 split :
Great Western - 2-row Crystal 40 - GW-C40 - QTY 1@50
Polboy 50%
Inverted 50%
*would like one more to reduce to 1/3 sack each if anyone is looking*

The longer we wait the more i buy!

I'm still looking for 1 or 2 people to split a sack of wheat. Current splits on page 2.

ryanmcl... I'll split the sack of wheat with you. Did you have a specific maltster in mind?

I'm missed it but TheBreweryUnderground was also looking to split with Ryan back at post #116. Do you guys want to split a single bag three ways or see if we can get another taker on a 2nd bag?

I'm cool with the 33% split, lets book it.

 

[starman]

PM's and posts 100-164 scanned for split updates... Please check your splits for accuracy.

Split List Updated... finally

It looks like Czech Saaz is a go in some shape or another. 10lbs solid commit and we have 3 people willing to fall on the sword and buy a second pound.

There are 9 split sacks on the palette #3 list. (3 new filled from today.)

PintoBean has some TF&S Amber he's willing to split. This sack is already on the 84 bag order.

TBUnderground is looking for a GW Crystal 15 split.

 

[Neopol]

Starman...i'll take a committed 2 on the saaz not sure what your list is adding as commitments

 

[inverted]

Starman only need the mo if nobody else wants it.

Updated you for 2.

Polboy and TheBreweryUnderground are also willing to buy a second pound if it closed the deal.

k. updated. Thanks.

 

[TheBreweryUnderground]

I'm cool with the 33% split, lets book it.

I sprang for a full sack so I'm no longer in need of a split on wheat, just the crystal 15.

 

[PseudoChef]

What club is that?

Knaves.

 

[SathingtonWilloby]

You cool with top shelf wheat? TF‐WHET .81 per #?

Sounds like TheBreweryUnderground is out of the split. I'm good with taking half a sack. TF is fine with me.

Updated.

 

[ryanmcl]

Updated.

Works for me.

 

[bmason1623]

On the spreadsheet, there's a tab at the bottom labeled "Sheet3". This is where I'm keeping track of the bags for the potential third pallet. I have a PM in to Starman asking for a little more clarification on the total splits thus far.

 

[PseudoChef]

Can someone PM me the link to the spreadsheet?

Bill,

Spreadsheet 'sheet 3, HBT splits' is current/correct at a budget of 9 as of 10:30AM 2/18

42-27 = 15 sacks left on P#3, yeah?

Thanks!

Unbelievable!

 

[starman]

Not to threadjack but would any of you grain maniacs be interested in splitting these U-Line Screw-Top-Pails
in the 6.5 gal, blue lid version. They're FDA, with a gasketed lid, ratchet tightening mechanism, and much sexier than HomerBucket orange w/ GammaLid.

HomerBucket w/ Gamma Lid = ~$11 each or $2.20 a gallon of storage.
6.5 gallon Uline = $12 each if we split up 50+ or $1.84 a gallon of storage.
(tax is about 7.2% in Waukegan where U-line's Will Call is at)

This has nothing to do with Bill's Group Buy #4, just curious if there's any interest in organizing a bucket buy on the side. Other than my intrusion, let's keep this thread pure grain buying madness so please just send me a PM .

We now return you to the exciting conclusion of palette #3, already in progress. 14 sacks to go

 

[bmason1623]

Not to thread jack either but I'll have ball lock cornies available for sale during the pick up.

 

[SathingtonWilloby]

I don't really need anymore, but if they're available, I doubt I can help myself. How much are you selling them for?

 

[PseudoChef]

I'd definitely be interested in a corny if the price is right.



Have I said how much I hate this thread? I should file these taxes soon, eh?

 

[louie0202]

How much for the corny's.....I would be interested

 

[PintoBean]

Yeah, I have 10 corny's, thought they'd be enough, but they're full, and I have 7 batches in carboys...might need 4 or 5 more

 

[bmason1623]

[bmason1623]

The third pallet is only 10 bags shy from being filled.

 

[PseudoChef]

In for 1 corny. First come first serve, or reservations taken?

first come first serve. last time I reserved a few people never made it. I have a few so no worries.

 

[PseudoChef]

No problems, completely understandable.

 

[wegz15]

I will have four 15” hinged false bottoms. No center hole drilled. Not sure on price yet. Waiting to hear from the welder.

 

[PintoBean]

Do those fit in the bottom of a keggle?

 

[wegz15]

Yes. I'm building a kal clone. Almost done

 

[adman]

Anyone interested in splitting a bag of Best Malz Pilsner to get us closer to the edge?

Added you to the looking section. I just checked Bills spreadsheet and it looks like we're 6 bags away from a full skid #3.

Current 'looking list' is GW Cyrstal 15 and BMalz Pils... if anyone was thinking of teaming up better do it now. I have the sneaking suspicion that by the time Bills done with the morning coffee, this sucker will be full.

There's also a half sack of amber already on Pinto's order he's willing to share.

 

[Polboy]

i think the 3rd split order still should be updated on the spreadsheet right now its only me and inverted but ryanmcl wanted to join the split, equal parts for 3 of us
This group buy is crazy, i never thought i will be buying close to 300lbs of grain

 

[bmason1623]

I just hope our wives/GFs don't find out about our grain spending habits...

 

[Polboy]

Im sure my wife will say im completely brew crazy when she sees all this grain, but then it will be too late for any discussions
