Group Buy in Chicago #4

[bmason1623]

Bill,

Spreadsheet 'sheet 3, HBT splits' is current/correct at a budget of 9 as of 10:30AM 2/18

42-27 = 15 sacks left on P#3, yeah?

Thanks!

Unbelievable!

Not to threadjack but would any of you grain maniacs be interested in splitting these U-Line Screw-Top-Pails
in the 6.5 gal, blue lid version. They're FDA, with a gasketed lid, ratchet tightening mechanism, and much sexier than HomerBucket orange w/ GammaLid.

HomerBucket w/ Gamma Lid = ~$11 each or $2.20 a gallon of storage.
6.5 gallon Uline = $12 each if we split up 50+ or $1.84 a gallon of storage.
(tax is about 7.2% in Waukegan where U-line's Will Call is at)

This has nothing to do with Bill's Group Buy #4, just curious if there's any interest in organizing a bucket buy on the side. Other than my intrusion, let's keep this thread pure grain buying madness so please just send me a PM .

We now return you to the exciting conclusion of palette #3, already in progress. 14 sacks to go

Not to thread jack either but I'll have ball lock cornies available for sale during the pick up.

I don't really need anymore, but if they're available, I doubt I can help myself. How much are you selling them for?

 

[PseudoChef]

I'd definitely be interested in a corny if the price is right.



Have I said how much I hate this thread? I should file these taxes soon, eh?

 

[louie0202]

How much for the corny's.....I would be interested

 

[PintoBean]

Yeah, I have 10 corny's, thought they'd be enough, but they're full, and I have 7 batches in carboys...might need 4 or 5 more

[bmason1623]

The third pallet is only 10 bags shy from being filled.

 

[PseudoChef]

In for 1 corny. First come first serve, or reservations taken?

first come first serve. last time I reserved a few people never made it. I have a few so no worries.

 

[PseudoChef]

No problems, completely understandable.

I will have four 15” hinged false bottoms. No center hole drilled. Not sure on price yet. Waiting to hear from the welder.

Do those fit in the bottom of a keggle?

 

[wegz15]

Yes. I'm building a kal clone. Almost done

Anyone interested in splitting a bag of Best Malz Pilsner to get us closer to the edge?

Added you to the looking section. I just checked Bills spreadsheet and it looks like we're 6 bags away from a full skid #3.

Current 'looking list' is GW Cyrstal 15 and BMalz Pils... if anyone was thinking of teaming up better do it now. I have the sneaking suspicion that by the time Bills done with the morning coffee, this sucker will be full.

There's also a half sack of amber already on Pinto's order he's willing to share.

 

[Polboy]

i think the 3rd split order still should be updated on the spreadsheet right now its only me and inverted but ryanmcl wanted to join the split, equal parts for 3 of us
This group buy is crazy, i never thought i will be buying close to 300lbs of grain

 

[bmason1623]

I just hope our wives/GFs don't find out about our grain spending habits...

Im sure my wife will say im completely brew crazy when she sees all this grain, but then it will be too late for any discussions

 

[starman]

Bill we could fill palettes 4,5, & 6 if your paypal account was named either Homee Depot or Menaards.

 

[PintoBean]

Last I checked, I'm in for over 600lbs, SWMBO is going to kill me At least I'll have plenty of brew

Starman- I will take the split on the BMalz Pils, kind sir.

It's easier to ask for forgiveness than it is permission.

What's going on with the saaz? Are we doing that separate? I didn't see them on the spreadsheet.

Can we include the hops under one member's name and have that member take care of the splitting of the hops and money with the other participants? Starman and I have enough already with the regular splits. Thanks.

 

[wegz15]

I can take care of the splits. How do you want to do money for that? Everyone still pay you?

I was thinking that for the hops, everyone pays you then you pay me. The hops will go under your name on the spreadsheet.
