Grain has arrived. I'd appreciate a heads up as to who and when you're coming. I'm going to start separating some of the bags and start with some of the split orders.

My buddy with the truck has to get permission from the wife before he can play. As soon as she gives him the OK I will let you know the time and day she picks for him.

PS. He is a big *****.

I'm a split order and I plan on picking up Saturday morning at around 10 AM.

wegz15 has already picked up. he was first the last time he bought too. I think he started brewing in his car as he pulled away.

 

[wegz15]

Thanks for separating all of the grain bmason. And thanks for allowing the early pick up

 

[Pfloraday]

I will also be around 11am on Saturday.

Any idea what size container I will need for a split bag?

I'll have it bagged out for you already. But I think a Home Despot bucket should work well for storage.

The orange buckets with lids from HDep work like a charm... and cheap, too. Just make sure they're the ones marked "4" (HDPE), which I believe is the only style they sell in Chi-land.


BTW --- I'm content to wait until the next group buy, but if anyone has anything left over, too much to store, etc. let me know, and I'll be happy to take it off your hands (of course, compensating you fairly). I'm good on base malts right now, but could use some specialties, crystals, etc. Let me know what you've got.

what would you be interested in just in case something does pop up?

 

[porterguy]

I'm good with any substitution as well. Can't remember what type of Munich I split.

I'll pick up some extra base malt if anyone has more than they need. Just let me know and we'll work out the payment part. thanks!

 

[SathingtonWilloby]

I'll have to make my pick-up Monday. I'm free all day. What's a good time for you bmason? And can you PM your address/phone number? Thanks.

 

[Polboy]

N2deep, it was nice meeting you today. Happy brewing and maybe I'll see next Saturday at the event I was telling you about. There will be a lot of brewing geeks just like us there.

Likewise! I'm going to see what's shaking on that day, like I was saying, my girls are out of town, so it *may* end up being a brew day as well. I'll have to see what's going on when I get a bit closer, but I think it sounds awesome.

Once again, mad props to you and Demon for getting this ball rolling, you guys rock!

 

[bmason1623]

I have a confession and an apology to everyone who has participated in the last three buys I've been a part of. I have this weird...umm, I don't know what to call it...perversion?...when splitting orders of taking one *single* grain and chewing, tasting it. The taste is fantastic! It reminds me of grape nuts cereal. So my apologies for cheating you out of one individual grain. I need help, I know. Happy brewing!

cheers! thanks to you and demon!

Hopefully we can get a time when we can get a group together. I have a few recent brews that are just about ready that I can bring to sample. They are all young but still tasty!

Breakfast Stout: Ready
Bourbon Barrel Aged Breakfast Stout: Ready
Oktoberfest: Ready enough
Chocolate Cherry Stout: Kegged about a week ago but should be carbonated enough by the weekend.
Hoe Gardening House Ale: Ready
Watermelon Ale: 1 left I think.

Ryan, I have been impressed with your brews and would like to try some more of them. If you don't mind driving into the city, the brew club I belong to holds monthly meetings on the first Sunday of every month. We sit around and sample brews, both home or commercially brewed, and discuss what's going on with the club. I'll give you more info when you pick up.

 

[ThatGuyRyan]

We are on our way. See you soon.

 

[PseudoChef]

Thanks again for doing all the leg work, Bill.

Class act, that guy.

Now I just need this damn hop harvest to trickle to us homebrewing plebs, and I should be back in business!
