Group Buy in Chicago #4

[bmason1623]

Yup and I already have 35 gallons brewed with 20 more to go in the next week. It's good to be back.

Nice

As for Hops, I've been visiting friends and family out in Ohio and Pennsylvania, I'll be passing back through to Chicago the end of July and can stop by brewtensils or the hops shack to avoid shipping costs on the way to pick up cheap hops that don't get bought in the group buy. Personally I'd like to grab some EKG, I've been lacking English brews.

 

[wegz15]

maybe we can do both? a buy from the distributor and a variety buy... if you dont mind tbu. EKG is fine with me if mcm has them in stock.

 

[pfi309]

I would be interested

 

[bmason1623]

I would be interested

How many 55 pound sacks would you be in for, just out curiosity?

 

[wegz15]

hey bill... why not just start the buy?

 

[Polboy]

im fine with hops right now, i just got 3lbs from hopshack last week, it may not last till harvest but i think my next bigger hops buy will be for 2012 crop
For the grain i will be for 3-4sacks and 1-2 splits

That's what I was thinking, but hop supplies could be running low as someone at Brewtensils the last time I was there said they had gotten their last shipment until next years harvest. Although the hops shack seems to have an unlimited supply of $7 pounds of hops. Definitely something to keep an eye on, also there's a guy in Ohio selling $12 pounds of organic cascade and nugget. People in Ohio are hop crazy or something.

Dunno. Wanted to make sure there was enough interest. Should we start another group buy?

 

[metic]

I'm new to group buys but I'd be in for at least 2 sacks. Is there any way I could get an idea of prices?

 

[cadwallion]

I would be interested in 1-2 sacks each of Pale Malt and Maris Otter if we get this group buy organized.

 

[Polboy]

If we start now i will be in few sacks but if we wait i will buy more in a month or two, either way im in

If you wait there may not be space for more sacks.

About $35 for 2 row. About $.050-$0.80 a pound

 

[Polboy]

dammit, all this grain discussion got me distracted and i just dry hopped my amber in primary instead of transferring and collecting yeast. Now i dont have yeast for wednesday brewing, its either trip to lhbs or starter with 1 pack of old notty
Its all your fault guys

 

[wcrooker]

I'd be in for a couple of bags of 2 row and maybe half a bag of TF amber malt if someone wants to spilt it. And more specialty malts too.

 

[bmason1623]

This brings up another point. I'm kind of leaning towards requesting that split orders be worked out amongst the participants. I prefer to deal with whole sacks only. Doing the split orders gets to be rather tedious.

 

[Neopol]

Neopol, do you need a pallet or two of grain?

Bill, I am getting close, finally all the fementers bubbling away..damn thats alot of work. I can certainly commit to 10+/- easily.

I wont screw around with any splits...Ill commit to that as well, unless outside of the buy.

 

[SHF]

I'd be in for some sacks of 2row, pils and probably munich or wheat....have to see how much I have left

 

[Bilboa51]

Bmason,
I think it will take off. Some guys from B.O.S.S are slain interested in this. I will get the info from them. If you need help with anything let me know.
Bill

 

[SathingtonWilloby]

I'd probably be in for 2-3 sacks.

 

[cyclogenesis]

I'm in for a bag of Pils and a bag of MO...

 

[Demon]

I'm in for 5 sacks

 

[bmason1623]

so how much interest so far? a pallet? Maybe I should start a Group Buy #5 thread.

 

[DKupres]

Sweet, this would be my first group buy. Count me in for at least four sacks- 2 row, MO , Pils and Munich.

[Gothic_Horror]

I would like to get in on the group buy.

Thanks!

 

[Bilboa51]

Bmason,
I already have 4 more interested people. Do you have a catalog?
Thanks,
Bill

 

[KurtB]

bmason, I would be probably in for a sack or two. It is looking like time to start a new thread...

 

[autiger]

I'd be down for 1 sack of 2-row

 

[kwhyte]

I'd also like to get in for a few
