Group Buy in Chicago #6

[bmason1623]

for those who have not picked up yet, do you have any splits? I know one bag is labeled for opteek, who I have not heard from at all on this thread by the way, and there's one more split left. Let me know who has the other split. Thanks.

My pickup person found the alley, but can't seem to find your entrance/you, bill.

Kudos to Brewmeister and his wife for the fantastic peach-habanero mead. Truly awesome! Can't wait to try the blueberry one! Thanks again guys.

We are both savoring that last sip,the balance of flavors is right on...we are going to save the blueberry for another day and clean palate.

And thanks to you once again for your FFF delivery. BTW, do you know how long they tend to have Behemoth in stock? I know there's a fair amount produced, but enough that I could get some in a month or more. You're not responsible for the accuracy of your statement, but I'm fishing for a better understanding of the availability.

I'll ask next time I am over there, or I can grab a few bombers and set em aside for you. Hopefully we'll be all meeting or some hop pickups soon.

 

[dbals]

Thanks Bill for the grain and yeast! hope I dropped off enough yeast for those interested. Should have more varieties next round!

Cool, let's play this by ear. I'm hoping that we get some exciting hop prices that encourage me to get involved in the buy. Bill says we'll like the prices, so I am enjoying the anticipation that I have in awaiting the price list.

[forstmeister]

I just want to give a big thanks to Bill for generously allowing us to get the grains at his shop and to ghoti for developing the nice web ordering system. That's what makes groups like this special, having lots of people with different skills and abilities to make great things happen.

It was Demon, HomebrewFrank and myself. I received my third yesterday and there was 1/3 left.

Frank, could this be the missing grain?

 

[homebrewfrank]

Frank, could this be the missing grain?

Yea, the split was me, TheOneBuz and Demon........Yes, it could be the missing grain!!!!! Im gonna double check the grain when i get home tonight and confirm that i did/didnt mislabel my C40 "cara-pils" by mistake.

 

[homebrewfrank]

Bill, i also emailed Opteek to see if he wants me to pick up his grain and maybe meet him somewhere with it, if hes anywhere near me. Does anyone know where Opteek lives?

And we weren't even drinking when the splits were happening...

 

[Neopol]

And we weren't even drinking when the splits were happening...

Yet...that is.

Oh yeah...go Bears!

 

[wegz15]

And we weren't even drinking when the splits were happening...

That could have been the problem....

 

[bmason1623]

That could have been the problem....

Good point

 

[homebrewfrank]

That could have been the problem....

I think that was the exact problem as well.....we were breaking some kind of rule and the grain Gods have punished us!!!!

Let me know when you want to pick up. Maybe we can meet somewhere and save you some time.

Hey pol, you mentioned that you had some experience with a ZD clone? I'm planning on brewing one up once my 2012 citra preorder comes in. I based it off the recipe on HBT but I didn't do the first wort hop and just frontloaded the whole thing. Any pointers?

 

[wagz]

I just used 30lbs today on a wooley jack clone.

What's your clone recipe, just had that a week ago, not as Bourbon-ee as dragons milk we keep in regular rotation but really good. We pulled a double brew today ourselves, to burn up a lb of homegrown hops.

 

[bmason1623]

srbailey, please send me your Esb recipe.
