Been so long, I can't remember!
If you look in your e-mails you will find the link. Seems to me that it was sent around 11/14.

That would work for someone using outlook. I go through a mail server that does not automatically store my emails.
Bobby, it's been a while... are you tequilastalking?
Ok, I just looked at the spreadsheet for the first time in a couple weeks. What happened to it? Almost all of my selections are gone, and the contract sheet is gone. Did they not have the hops we were looking for? Are we not doing any contracts for next year and beyond?
Dave and I are trying to get this buy finalized and we are doing some things to make sure we record who was in on the buy at the time the hop hit the 11# multiplier.
Fijidave12 said:So we got the price quote in for everything except Magnum, which was left off for some reason. The sheet is updated with current 2011 pricing. I've also added some pricing to the 2012 contract sheet.
Am I getting cut on my Tett? If so everybody get a pound quick.
Seems to me that you have 3# of it on the sheet, am I missing something?
What's going on with the spreadsheet, do I need to re-do my order?
I need a little clarification on the purpose of "contracting" the hops. The contract just guarantees we're able to get the varieties we want, like simcoe, amarillo, etc. right? Can't we get the less in-demand hops like Magnum, Willamette, etc. whenever we want as long as we order in 11# increments? I was thinking we only needed to contract for hops that are in high demand; if you anticipate Hallertau, Willamette, or some of the bittering varieties to be in high future demand then I definitely think we should add them.
Maybe up Simcoe, Centennial and Cascade to 22# in 2013?
If need be, you can cut a pound or two from my order, I double ordered most varieties anyways. I'm not around here much any more, if you need to get me, just shoot me a pm, i'll get the email notification.

Contracts are future promises to buy hops at a given price. If you contract to buy 22#'s then you must buy 22#'s. If you don't take delivery during the year usually at the end of the year you must take a balance delivery at the contract price. Not contracting Hops like Magnum or Willamette means you will pay spot prices which is what we are paying now. We could see prices in the 10 to 13$ for spot buys in 2013 for some of the aroma hops but you might see prices at your LHBS of around 3$ an ounce. Since most of us buy through a LHBS Spot prices to us are wonderful. If we were a small brewery any increases would eat into our profits.
The risk lies with the man with his credit card on the line. If the MOBS group falls apart by 2013 then Bobby will still be responsible to buy all the hops contracted. Then he would have to try to sell them to get his money back. Trying to resell Williamette, Brewer, Golding and Cascade he would probably break even (maybe) after packaging and shipping. If we up amounts of Simcoe contracts and someone plants 4000 new acres of it and prices drop your stuck with hops you will lose money on. If spot prices go way up there is the possibility they would let you out of the contract and sell your hops on the spot market. But only if it benefits them. If there is still a MOBS group we all would save by having these all under contract when prices rise.
Just added hops
Did I get cut from the sheet? I don't see my name on it anymore?
