Group Buy in Chicago #6

[FermentedTed]

I'm fine with my order as-is. Thanks!

 

[bmason1623]

Ok, for those that want the Briess, send me a PM and I will modify the spreadsheet. Too much work to modify the pricing in the database in such a short time.

 

[Gothic_Horror]

Confirming my 1# of hallertau.

 

[metic]

Are we putting in a separate hop buy to another vendor from the list bmason1623 posted?

 

[homebrewfrank]

Im good with my grain order!!!

Can someone please pm me explaing how this hop splitting works. Id like in but not sure how it all works....thanks!

 

[havoc531]

I'll take that last pound of Saaz if still available.

Randar, since Saaz is not available from CMC I have had to substitute Sterling. Let me know if you are interested in Sterling.

[Brewmeister Jeff]

I am good with mine as well

 

[TheBreweryUnderground]

Awesome they're allowing Briess now, maybe they'll lighten up with the hops as well. I'm not changing anything this time, but next buy I'll probably be looking for some Briess stuff. What hop buys are currently happening through MCM? I lost track of which ones I was a part of that are still happening, I think maybe Pacific Jade and Cascade?

 

[bmason1623]

I just received the following response from a hops supplier:

"Yes, we do offer contracts to home-brew clubs. How about you send me 'wish-list' with varieties/volumes and I can quote accordingly. I can tell you right now the real hard to get 'C' hops require a 2 year commitment."

Added another reply from the vendor:

"We do not offer any NZ hops. We do offer European selections such as CZ. Saaz, Gr. Hallertau MF, EKG, GR. Magnum, etc."


Who wants to start compiling a list? Neoplo, starman, someone? Also, I am going to keep our source anonymous. Both Neopol and I have done a lot of leg work on this so we are not too anxious to share our "fruits of our labor". We will understand if it turns some people off and do not want to participate. Thanks, for your understanding.

Havoc can you exclude me from the sazz order. I only wanted sazz. I already have 1# of sterling in my freezer.
Thanks

 

[metic]

I'm a bit confused about which of the previous hop splits are still in play. But if the ones I was signed up for have fallen through (saaz, magnum, northern brewer), I would be interested in taking over 1lb of sterling from scotty77.

 

[Gothic_Horror]

Havoc531, sure, keep me on. Thanks. I would be interested in this possible group buy that Bill and Neopol got cookin'.

 

[cadwallion]

I'm inclined to kill the Northern Brewer split entirely instead of trying to sub it out.

It is confusing. Bill, can MCM currently fill any of the hops on the original order without substituting?

I think the de Magnum might have still been in play based on the distributors email.

I don't mind doing some legwork to facilitate a bulk hop buy thru a different vendor but maybe we should split it to a new thread. Myself quite guilty of thread pollution, this thread is a mess with respect to grain buy info.

 

[bmason1623]

I will submit a new list and they will confirm availability on everything including the hops. I already posted which one are not available (can't remember where).

I think we will need to do a separate hops buy for the hops not available through MCM.

 

[Randar]

Randar, since Saaz is not available from CMC I have had to substitute Sterling. Let me know if you are interested in Sterling.

Sorry, I'm not interested in Sterling.

 

[cyclogenesis]

I'm good with my order!

 

[bmason1623]

ok. we are at 168 sacks which is exactly 4 full pallets at 42 each. I hope they can spread the other items across the 4 pallets otherwise we will be charged for a fifth. I am sending over the new list for quote in a few minutes.

EDIT: We are at 170 sacks which is over the 168 limit. How should we handle this?

 

[TyTanium]

Seems silly to pay for shipping on a pallet that's only 5% full. I'd prefer to drop it (voluntary sack reduction) or fill it.

let's see what they say first.

Worse case we can always remove the last added sacks, if voluntary does not work.

is there a way to track the last added sacks?

 

[idigg]

Definitely cut the last 2 sac's off, I need grain LOL

 

[ghoti]

is there a way to track the last added sacks?

Yes there is

 

[bmason1623]

Yes there is

ok. this is good to know. let's wait until we get the quote back from MCM.

 

[SpacemanSpiff]

I'll volunteer to drop my sack (heh). With the hops falling through and after reviewing my inventory and likely brewing schedule, I can afford to wait. I only had 1 sack of Pale malt on order.

Would still be interested in some of the potential hop buys swirling around.

 

[bmason1623]

Still awaiting the quote.

 

[Randar]

Bill, since I was late into the buy, feel free to drop some of the grain from my order. Please remove the 2-row before removing the Best Malz Pils and Wheat, though, if possible.

Cheers!
