DC Area Group Buy #10

[j1n]

I have a 20 and 25 lb tank now, cause I NEVER want to run out of CO2 as that means I run outta beer...well not really, but I MIGHT run out of the beer I want NOW, and that is just unacceptable!!

This is a case of bigger is better as I found, like j1n, that I get about 5 times the CO2 for a couple of bucks more. Had a problem with a bad regulator that was blowing out CO2...must have done it when I was not around a half dozen times...one night I saw it do it and realized why I was blowing through CO2. Replaced the reg and have had this tank for over a year, still going strong...more in line with what I was expecting.

As far as the buy goes, really don't see this one closing until November based on the number of sacks currently on order. I expect people will start to brew more as fall turns to winter, so we may have a couple of buys go pretty fast after this one. Prepare for the winter brewing season folks!!

Cheers!

Yeah, i had leak issues too. I'm pretty anal about checking for leaks now. If i had a pool i would submerge the entire tank with regulator to test for leaks.

Hopefully we can finish those splits soon. Also at least it wont be so hot in the brewery if the pick up is in Nov.

If my pool wasn't closed for the winter I'd let you use it? But what's wrong with a bath tub!??! A nice warm bubble bath for the good ol' CO2 cylinders... that should get it going again!

New to the group buy, if its still open for this round can you please put me down for:

[stevedasleeve]

brewing in order to keep the missus happy... there's a new one.

Well she also wants me to brew naked except for leather chaps and a hat... I like to make her happy but, you know, it's a bit of a safety hazard. I'm happy providing the wheat beer and her favorite IIPA...

She was in the WWF and is a couple of inches taller than me so generally I keep in line!

Yes, exactly, thanks!

So right now the only date that works for 3 Stars in November is Saturday, 11/22 (weekend before Thanksgiving). We would need to order by the evening of Saturday, 11/8 to give us 2 weeks for the delivery. That is about 3 weeks out. If that doesn't work, we will have to pick a time in December, which is a BUSY month for me. If the sack count gets moving in the next week or two, I think we shoot for the 22nd. If not, well it might be a while before we can work this into everyone's schedules...

 

[IslandLizard]

November 22 sounds very good. We have 38 sacks on order, 9 of them being unfilled splits, 225# to go.

17 days is a reasonable time to round it up.
So brewers, if you want your grains rather sooner than later, you know what to do.

 

[j1n]

22nd works for me.

Cmon guys, lets close some of those splits!

 

[sikkingj]

To help the cause and further my brewing I'll close the following two splits:

10 lbs. biscuit
35 marris otter

To fight the good fight, I'll take:

10 lbs. of the chocolate

Cheers!

No problem.

Thanks to the ex-wife, I may have trouble on the 22nd. How should that be handled?

Sorry to hear that. Exes, they have their way...

Can you send someone else to pick it up?

Or maybe someone in the buy can transport your share and hold on to it until you can pick it up from him.

Just let us know, so we can release it to the right person.

anyone training for the BJCP exam who wants to prep hit me up!

plus, they're called "naked"... how can you say no?!?

 

[funnycreature]

I'm not prepping for anything but I've thought about getting into tasting beer. Not for judging, just to figure out what flaws my beers have. Any suggestion where I could go?

Back on topic: Fritz, would you please up my share of some Golden Nakedness to 10#? Feel free to make that 15# if push comes to shove at the end of the split!

 

[j1n]

Ok, you convinced me. I'll take 5lbs of the Naked Oats.

Cmon guys lets close these splits!

Will do.

Anyone between Rockville and Frederick able to help?

There's someone in Point of Rocks, IIRC. I drive through there to/from work every day.

 

[reddskinnfan]

I live in PoR and could help you out. Samples of your brew as payment, maybe?

Changed to 10#. Beats Viagra.

Added. 15# of Golden Naked Goodness left!

Little insider knowledge: I've been using (rolled/flaked) oats in brew for a long time. A little toasting brings out more flavor if you want that. I also eat a lot of oats with a little brown sugar and raisins.

Now those naked ones need a little more TLC: milled rather finely and cooked (cereal mash), don't forget.

golden naked oats do not need a cereal mash. just crush and add to the regular mash.
