DC Area Group Buy #10

[reddskinnfan]

Ok, one is yours



You got one.



Hydro dates on the three are 2012, 2012, and 2013. Let me know if you want the last one.




I'm going to see if i can exchange the steel one for an aluminum one at Roberts Oxygen on Monday. If i cant then i guess the last one to show up to the GB gets the steel one.

If any of the buyers fall through, I'll take a tank.

I already have one 20# which has lasted me through 12 cornies and two 15 gal Sanke kegs and is still kicking strong. A second, however, wouldn't hurt.

I did have one back out but i decided to keep the tank as a spare. already exchanged it for a full tank. the two i have left are the 2 aluminum ones. If Frits or the other person (forgot who ill have to look it up) backs out then its yours.

 

[reddskinnfan]

By the way, put me down for 5# of the Carafa III. I could use it for some Porters, a Doppelbock and a Cascadian IPA I have been considering.

Sven is the other person, right?

No Jin, I won't back out of the tank, I can really use a 2nd one, been dragging that tank up and down each time I keg or rack. And Aluminum makes it even more perfect. That's a great score, man!

I had mine filled yesterday and it ran me $27.50 this time for 20# (paid $21 before). It's the only place in my "area" that fills, unless I drive out to Laurel Bottled Gas and deal with the soup nazi.

But I found out when I was waiting, they do Hydro testing right in the shop, and mine is due for that on the next refill. $23.50 for the procedure, that's pretty decent. Since my bottle looks brand new, I may just do that.

Now that hydro test won't be until April or May or so. 20# lasts a long time... if there are no leaks. I had an MFL from the manifold that wasn't tight enough and loosened up, killing a lot of it. So gents... Double check all your couplings before you turn your back and start drinking beer.

I keep looking for deals on CL we can benefit from (like you finding 4 CO2 bottles) but the offerings are damn sparse. One of my Prog friends said he's getting out of brewing, but he's still too attached to his equipment, which includes a lot of nice stuff. I'll work on him this weekend.

I've put you on for 5# of that Carafa III.

How are we going to distribute that leftover 15# by tonight? Takers are slow coming. 2 big beer roasters er... brewers I know, who can use it, haven't been on this list for months or longer.

How would it be steeped in some coffee? Gotta try that.

 

[masonsjax]

Caraffa is good for Black IPAs, just stir it in for the last 15 mins of the mash, or cold steep it and add it in. I could maybe use some of it, but not 15#, and since I'm not buying anything else on this round I'm not interested in driving down there for just that. If someone wants to grab a few extra pounds to help close the bag, I'll buy it from you on the next round.

Seriously, the Carafa III is an awesome grain for those dark beers that you want to have coffee/chocolate flavor and color without the astringency (large additions).

Also works great for beers that need dark color without heavy flavor contributions (small additions).

Come on guys, get ya some! Grab 5# now and throw some in a beer or three. We probably won't see this grain on the buy again for a LONG while.

I checked a couple pages back and it was Funnycreature that reserved the other tank. I found a better deal on tanks a few weeks before i found this one but someone swooped in and grabbed them before me. It was 4x 20lb tanks for $20 each. Thats why when i saw the 35$ each deal i went and got them right away.

In general I'd be interested but I still have 10+ lbs of Chocolate malt that I will use in my porter... I can commit to 5lbs if that helps to change things up a bit.

Yeah, that's me! Can I PayPal you the $35 so reddskinnfan can pick up the tank for me?

If you are named above it is because I do not have paypal from you yet for the buy which ends TONIGHT! Please get it to me as if I don't get it I will have to leave you off the list...and who wants a sad brewer??

Cheers!

Ahhh...yes, I have a full sack from the last buy. Do you want half of it instead? I have plenty of malt and I have no plan to use MO in the next two brew days...

 

[res291que]

I actually should be okay until the next buy was just planning for the future. Might take you up on the part bag you have if I run into trouble before next buy goes through.

[reddskinnfan]

I just paid my cut to Frits. Ready to get some winter brewing in!!!

 

[Schmoltsbeer]

I sent a couple of paypal payments, and Paypal says they went through. So, I supposed, which payment do you need for full sack or split?

 

[res291que]

Come on fellas we need to close that Carafa III if we each take an extra pound or two we can close this one out too. I'll do 2 more pounds.

ALL New to the buy:

You must select sending to a friend/family option in PayPal or it deducts a fee. From the first post:

PAYMENT is via PayPal only! Pay the week before the buy by Friday at midnight. Pay me at the email address I used to send you the link to the sheet. Use the pay friend/family option and DO NOT pay via PayPal check! PLEASE put your HBT moniker in the note section so I know who you are. Collating email addresses is a pain!

I refunded you. Please pay again using friend/family option so I don't get charged fees...

 

[erikdhoward]

Payment sent!

 

[stonebrewer]

Down to two! Not bad...

 

[IslandLizard]

OK, splits paid administration is now up to date.

3 split participants still need to pay up:

emyers <== has paid!
royola
stuppy <== I'll cover his splits, but will call him in the morning to square up his dues.

I've sent stuppy an email to his other addy. I'll call him tomorrow morning if needed.

Anyone have alternate contacts for the other 2?
I sent Eric (emyers) a reminder email this morning.
I had no contact info for royola.

==> I'm removing that sack of Pale Malt from my account, I have plenty of Barley right now.

res291que is taking an extra 2, I'm going to take an extra 5.

Now there's only 8 pounds left.
Looking for 4 strong brewers to take 2 pounds each. Who?

Or should we try military style volunteering?

 

[StJaDo]

I know its past the deadline, I was offline most of last night but in order to help close this out I dont mind taking 5lbs of the Carafa III

5# of Weyermann® D-Husked Carafa III® 25 Kg (55 Lb.)

I am on the road most of today and leaving soon but once you confirm this is good to go (or not) I will be able to make payment...or not...

Let me know and hope this helps...

 

[stuppy]

I am sorry about the late payment, but you Tony you should have payment in your account now and Ftitz you as well. Thanks for the reminder by email Fritz.

OK, you got 5# of Carafa III. Thanks for helping out!

You could have prepaid it and if it was too late (is there such a thing, really?) or it didn't work out we simply refund it.

Always pay with Friends & Family since that's what we are. Looking forward to your payment.


Still 3# pounds of Carafa III to go. Wake up gents, we need to wrap this up soon.

I'm glad the message reached you. Payment for splits received. A-OK!

==> A T T E N T I O N <==​

Since we're running out of time for collecting money from royola, we haven't heard back from him, I'm taking on his splits. I'm also funding the last 3# of Carafa to close that split.

I hope this does not mean I'm going to get stuck with all those grains. I believe there are some of you here that may want them so they are available on first come basis:

20#       Crisp Gleneagles Maris Otter
5#        Simpsons Golden Naked Oats
5#        Weyermann® CaraAroma
5# to 15# Weyermann® D-Husked Carafa III*

* Note:
res291que took on an extra 7# and I took on an extra 8# of Carafa III the last few days just to get the split closed. If anyone wants some of these they are available until Nov 22, pick up day.

Basically the group buy is still open until then or until those grains have been allocated, except you can't add new sacks or splits.
Let's see if this works.

I do foresee some changes in the way we'll handle splits in the future. 95% works fine, as it should, but that other 5% needs serious managing at the most inopportune and crucial time.

 

[StJaDo]

I'll go ahead and take the last 3# of Carafa...therefore up my 5# to 8#...just to call this done...

Theres no reason for you to shoulder the whole amount...

on the flip side if anyone has a good all grain recipe to include Carafa please let me know...seeing as I had no plans for it and I have plenty of it now...some assistance would be great...

thanks

I'll keep your 3# offer in mind, but let's first see if we can get some interest from others who benefit from this buy. It ain't over until...

Just pay me for the 5# for now.
