I mentioned in the last group buy that I would be willing to place the orders through my brewery when I have my account set up. The downside would be that I am located in Sycamore which is a bit of a drive for downtown Chicago residents. Progressing as quickly as the state/suppliers are allowing.

Also good news, I don't speak at a conference again until August, so there's zero chance I'll miss pickup this time! :D

I thought your hop contract buys were exclusive only to the people who already committed to them?

Added a few hop splits, took 2 of each but will cover up to 5lb if we don't get the split covered. Brewing a Honey Ale today, Red Ale on Tuesday, a Brown Ale on Friday, and a Coffee Stout on Saturday to fill up the 15G fermenters, then some experimental 5G batches for some seasonals I've been...

Killing me, smalls. I'll have another $500-600 order this time and hope it gets me through until my CMG account is setup. Peeps need to get some more hop splits going, I'll pick up 2-3 lbs of whatever.

I am currently using a Raspberry Pi with an expansion board to wire up my DS18B20's for inputs and SSRs for outputs. The lack of realtime has not bothered me because I wrote my PID algorithm library to account for timeshifts. What I intend to experiment with more is using an Arduino (well, an...

The only con I see is that you will have to restrain yourself from buying allthethings.

Next month? :D

Sycamore/Dekalb border, just off Peace Road near the HyVee.

900 sqft taproom in the buildout. We are incredibly fortunate to have a building owner willing to work with us on buildout and expansion opportunities, so we've got 2400 sqft to start with another 4000 available and another 10k in a building in the same parking lot that is going up this fall.

Yep, way out in Sycamore/Dekalb. 45 gallon system with 110G fermenters, waiting on location buildout to finish.

By next group buy if my brewery doesn't have a brewer number I will kill someone. If it does, I'll gladly help out with order placement.

I was picking up splits for recipe lab use and helping people out at the same time. If we switch to half sacks or single source malts I will manage. In reality I ordered about 1/3 what I should have since I only have enough grain for 10-15 brew sessions and I'm brewing 3x/week starting this...

Order made it back to my house, and the hops are getting vacuum sealed tomorrow morning. Thanks to whoever brought up the FoodSaver deal. Semi-unrelated note but I start my new job tomorrow. Accepted a position before leaving to speak at a conference, have been getting all the paperwork out of...

I wouldn't be surprised.

**** everything about this day. Bill, I have the same people as last time coming to pickups for me.

Maybe 4? If that's too late I will try to work something out with someone.

I'm flying all day today and my business partner is at a funeral, Bill. I can probably make it out tomorrow afternoon if you are ok with that. Otherwise I think Demon offered to ferry my order closer to my ungodly far distance from Chicago.

I can hope! I've only spoken at two conferences and somehow both are likely to be during group buy pickup.

I'm ok with subs. I just hope we can arrange this for this weekend since I will be in OR the 6-9th.
