Group Buy in Chicago #5

[bmason1623]

My vote would be for an end of October delivery date.

It usually takes about 4-6 weeks from the announcement of a group buy to actual pick up.

 

[porterguy]

So that means as soon ASAP, or whenever you're ready to go, bmason. Gives me a couple weeks to pull some $ together.

I know and love all your effort. But If you dont need any lets hold off

 

[cyclogenesis]

I'm up for a few sacks whenever.. and will be picking up more starsan as well! Can't go past $8 for 32oz

 

[Malric]

Marking so that I can jump in on the next one.

 

[bmason1623]

I want to stock up for the winter.

 

[Demon]

I'm good for another 4-5 sacks if we're looking at October.

Bad timing has kept me out of Group Buy 1-5. I'm ready. Is this just a grain buy or do you also get hops? I could go several pounds of different leaf hops.

 

[brian_n]

Can someone PM me the link and password for the catalog from buy #5? Thanks

 

[bmason1623]

Catalog link is in post #6. Those prices have undoubtedly changed but not by much.

Even though the catalog heading indicates hops to be offered as t-90 or whole, every variety listed is only pellet. I would prefer whole myself for many brews too.

I am in for a couple sacks if we're looking at another buy. Can't beat the organization that Bill has to offer!

 

[Brewmeister Jeff]

I'd be in for some 2 row, Pilsner, and Marris Otter if this is going down.

 

[PseudoChef]

Don't copy my hypothetical order, Jeff. I've warned you.

What the hell is that supposed to mean?

 

[wegz15]

I could use some pale ale malt

Sarcasm is lost over the interwebs once again...

If you need me to pick up/hold your grain until you can make it down, I'd be happy to.

Now that's funny

Crazy home brewers...

 

[ghoti]

I will be ready for the application to get some testing soon, but I was wondering if anybody had a server where we could host this application? It will be running on php/mySQL which most web hosting companies allow.

 

[PseudoChef]

Fine, I won't pick up your grain for you if you can't make it

Possibly for a little bit. I'll have to check when my website expires

You would likely be just fine on the free tier of Openshift.

I have serve space for my business website through pchost.com. would that work?

 

[ghoti]

if it allows php and mysql then yes it will work.

 

[Retrofit]

So is all of this chatter preliminary discussion or a new group buy starting? Just curious. I can make a list of what I want asap.

Ok. PM with instructions on what to do. Thanks

Ghoti was kind enough to make a database to eliminate potential errors in future buys. We will test it out for a short while. If it works as designed then we will use it for the next buy. If not then we use the Google spreadsheet like always. Either way, the new buy will start in a week or two if that's ok with everyone.

 

[RC0032]

Im here if ya need help testing!

I'm using your washed yeast (1450) this Sunday. Using starman's too (1968).

 

[starman]

Send me a URL if you want more help testing. I'm in Atlanta visiting breweries but thanks to the usual tag team of blue laws and distribution they're only open for like 4 hours.

Did find an excellent brew pub with amazing array of brews but they can't fill growlers. Wth! A

 

[bmason1623]
