Group Buy in Chicago #5

[starman]

I'm definitely good for tossing bags around. Friday should be perfect, as Q should be with the wife. Maybe we can pre- pick orders to limit the handling.

Starman, I'm taking you up on your offer but I'm not sure if the grain will arrive friday so it's still up in the air. Also, of all payments are not received by next week then it may have to be postponed until later. Let's get the payments in as soon as feasibly possible. Thanks.

its harder for me on the weekdays but saturday or sunday i can be there in the morning to help out so count me in but i will try to pick up asap and sort the hops order

A quick count shows 32 out of 43* paid so it looks possible. One of those is the pallet #4 subgroup so the reality is there are probably more than 11 people that still owe but we're close. Nobody gets grain till everyone pays!

PayPal pay, send money, pay, blah blah send blah pay pay.

I'll keep Friday open.

I can help on some day. I work 6/7 days a week but if you let me know what day you need me I can take that one off.

Received payment from one more just haven't marked it on the spreadsheet yet.

I can't believe that we're very close to ordering 10,000 pounds of grain. Wow.

 

[cyclogenesis]

That's a lot of home brew. Ain't it grand!

 

[starman]

Ain't it grand!

Its more than grand! Thats got to be about 5,000 gallons worth of 1.06 I'd guess. Delicious!

 

[gsanstra]

Hope the remaining folks will pay shorty so we can get our brew on

 

[bmason1623]

I need to start sending PMs to those that haven't paid yet. I suspect that they're not following this thread very closely. Don't be surprised if one or two people drop out. Happens every time.

Payment sent

Check out the first page of this thread it has the rules for this buy.

 

[homebrewfrank]

Excellent!!!! Exactly what i was looking for! Thank you very much! Now just have to be patient for the next wave haha. :cheers:

 

[opteek]

Ok, normally I am a little sharper but I am having trouble finding Bills paypal addy to send the funds. I know he mentioned it was in his sig somewhere or somesuch? I've already spent 10 min
looking for it though, twice. If someone would be so kind as to PM it to me I will immediately ship the funds. Cheers!

 

[TheBreweryUnderground]

Opteek: It is under the quote link tab in the spreadsheet.

I've been having trouble transferring money to the right account so I can use Paypal, I have the worst bank in existence. It should be in by tonight.

Bill - You got PayPal.

If this does not happen this weekend, I may have a problem picking up next week/weekend. If the pickup gets pushed to next week, hopefully somebody that lives out in the western burbs can grab my order (its just 1 sack of grain), and I can work out the detais with them to pick it up. I live in South Elgin, but work in the Villa Park/Lombard area.

Thanks,

Kurt

 

[Randar]

Gentlemen! I apologize for the delay in getting my portion of the order squared away. I have been out of town and unable to process the totals until this morning so it may be a few days before I can get a payment to Bill. My invoices are out and I hope to be able to get a payment to Bill by the end of the week.

Hopefully this doesn't wreck distribution and pick-up plans for too many people.

 

[gsanstra]

KurtB I'm in schaumburg, so if needed could pick up your order and get it closer to you.

I'm in the same boat as you...I live in pingree grove and can get yours if it happens before the 26th otherwise I may need some help myself, on vacation for 2 weeks after that.

 

[opteek]

Funds sent. Hope to meet a bunch of you during the pickups!

 

[starman]

Looks like 5 people still owe. Randar is targeting end of the week for funds to Bill for palate #4. Excluding that subgroup, the remaining buy has 91% of the money collected.

Choo Choo!! All aboard the grain train!! Choo! Choo!!

Yes, I have collected about half of our funds and we have a club meeting Thursday where I plan to collect as much of the remaining as possible.

Hopefully I can put a cashier's check in a fed-ex envelope to Bill on Friday.

 

[Polboy]

so looks like delivery on Friday is not going to happend, Bill do you think its better to plan it for next Friday 27th or you would prefere to get it in the middle of the week (assuming you collect all founds).
I would prefere Friday delivery Saturday pickup as i can be there on Saturday morning and help with hops and grains but if you go with midweek delivery i should manage to be at your place on delivery evening (7-9pm probably)

Looks like it wont be this week anymore. I have not heard back from 'astronomical' at all. does anyone know him personally? maybe you can get a hold of him for us.

If pickup is next weekend....the 28th or 29th is there anyone willing to pick up my two bags and oak since I will be out of town most of the weekend.

Looking for someone preferably in the West Chicago, Naperville, Aurora, Plainfield, Montgomery, Oswego area.
