Group Buy in Chicago #6

[scotty77]

I can chase down the magnum count in the next hour or so and don't mind fronting the $ if its viable.

**edit** Magnum Count (from the responses within this thread. Picking up from RC0032's post #335):

1# Metic
1# RC0032
1# ThirstT
1# Neopol
1# SrBailey
1-2# Me
1# Havoc 531
1# Opteek
1# PseudoChef

1-2# remain to fill the order. FYI If the order goes, it looks like these are German Magnum HU‐90GMG (11-16%AA) @$7.05lb since the domestic (10-14%AA) are sold out.

Please advise if anything above is incorrect or the origin is a problem

Put me down for 1 # of magnum

 

[starman]

Currently in 2lb of Cascade, 2lb of NB, 1lb Saaz, and with the Magnum I'll have 6lb of hops to pick up. Anyone else need me to finish their splits?

Enabler! Thanks though, between you and Scotty77 it looks like Magnum is a go.

I just added it to my sub-order.

[brewingmeister]

Confirming the C40 split.

Also had a lb of NB in the original hop split. Is that still a go or what?

 

[opteek]

I'm also confirming my 1/3 of the C40. Also in for 3# of Hallertauer, 3# of Saaz, and 1# of the Magnum. Heck yeah!

 

[bmason1623]

Ok here was my Nelson Sauvin purchase. Please confirm, for my sanity, thanks.

My portion looks correct.

 

[cadwallion]

Confirming the C40 split.

Yes. If RC responds today he'll be managing the NB and Cascade split, otherwise I will take over the NB/Cascade splits. Either way it will happen unless bill closes the order in the next few hours.

 

[havoc531]

Saaz split:
5# havoc531 (3lbs Kenny, 1lbs Grady, 1lbs Doug)

Bill/ghoti, I see various oak chips in the available DB to add, but when a qty is added nothing shows up in your order. Does this mean item is unavailable? Or just a flaw in the sheet?

dave, is this still the case?

 

[bmason1623]

We are at 165 sacks already. I want to cut off the buy but there are still some non grain items that some people were having trouble adding soI wnted to leave it open for them add them. Please refrain from adding additional grain. Thank you.

 

[bmason1623]

Just found out that hop contracts *are* available to home brewer group buys. However, the minimum order would be 330 pounds or 30 boxes (at 11 pounds). Do I sense a hop contracts group buy in the works?

Confirming my two pounds

Wouldnt be against some kind of law to pass up that deal?? :rockin:

Thanks for following up on this. That's over a single season/year, correct? Also, can we specify some of the contract but leave the balance as TBD. In other words, sign for a guaranteed 110lbs Simcoe, 110lbs Amarillo, 55lbs Citra and the rest as needed?

What are the terms? % of contract as a deposit, pay as they deliver etc?

There has to be at least 8-10 boxes of hops on this order alone. 30 doesn't seem unreasonable.

Trying to get the last short sleeve brew day of the season in but this wind is robbing all my BTUs! If my strike water ever gets up to temp I'll be testing out the BeerSmith2 Lite for Android.... integrated cloud recipe storage and brew timer.

 

[Randar]

You guys just operate too damn quickly these days. I was busy and out of town and BOOM! 4 pallets are spoken for. Was hoping to get in on a little of this action, but it seems closed.

Bill, I applied to the website but never got a confirmation e-mail.

 

[TheBreweryUnderground]

We still have to wait a long time (until 2014!) for Simcoe/Amarillo/Citra, but I would definitely be done for a lot of all of those.

 

[cadwallion]

Alright, RC doesn't seem to be responding and I don't want to lose the order, so I'm adding the hops to my order now. If you are part of the Cascade or NB splits, please respond confirming and I will update this post. I'll hold RC's allocation in the split for now.

Randar, you're confirmed. If you can get a crap load of sacks again (not necessarily a full pallet) we can wait for you. Talk to your brew club and see if they are interested. I will close this tonight if I don't hear back from you.

 

[TheBreweryUnderground]

Cadwallion you can confirm me on those hops.

 

[urbanmyth]

Cadawallion, I am in for the Northern Brewer.

Bill, when you're confirming accounts do you just validate the account exists on HBT or just click a button?

Seems like validating the HBT username could be as simple as the system making a request to HBT.com for a username and it returns status 200 for a valid user, and 302 for an invalid user (technically 404 if you tell your request to follow redirects). Might be another pain point that's liftable via code, along with converting all the order requests into an order spreadsheet.
