Group Buy in Chicago #6

[Grinch]

I'll pickup when my split is ready from starman. During the week in the AM if that's okay.

 

[forstmeister]

I'll just bag, tag, and leave my splits at bills place. No sense in people driving across the state for grain that was already at Bills.

As for hops - The neighbors loaned me a vacuum sealer so the my box of magnum will be parceled up into sealed 1lb bags and labeled. Its not a mylar bag but better than nothing for a few days.

Bill is Monday a likely delivery? Whichever day it is, I'll need to drive to work instead of metra.

That sounds good. I want to get mine soon so that bill isn't stuck with it.

 

[bmason1623]

The grain will be delivered on Tuesday.

the starsan too?

 

[ThirstT]

Are you still going to be ok with us doing a weekend pick up of the grains Bill?

 

[bmason1623]

the starsan too?

yes, at least that's what I was told.

 

[bmason1623]

Are you still going to be ok with us doing a weekend pick up of the grains Bill?

the weekend is preferable.

Knowing you have a business to run, what time in the afternoon do you start powering down and is best for you . I will come Tuesday afternoon/evening so I get everyone's beer there in front of their pickups, and get a half skid out of the way.

Frank still working on that last one, line was 50 deep earlier.

Dont sweat it, if you cant get another, its seriously no worries, no need going crazy for a third....

 

[homebrewfrank]

Im splitting a couple of sacks with people, and since this is my first group buy, not totally sure how the splitting works....do i need to bring bags or whatever to put the split grain in? Could someone maybe explain the easiest process?

 

[Neopol]

Frank I'll try again its a few blocks from the house, I took the bike out for a putt and ran by there. I'll let you know by Monday if I've d time to run over there.

I'm in tears right now from harvesting and making some nitro hot horseradish. If anyone wants some of my throwaway rhizomes, happy to bring em before I commit them to the trashcan.

I am picking up for your c40 split, I was bringing an empty sack for his 1/3 sack grains, and I'll leave a few extras for those that forget.

I'll bring you a couple fresh roots, its easy to make in 20 minutes your eyes are watering and a little on some sausage and crackers and your gasping for air.

 

[heferly]

Bill, can you pm me the pickup addy? First GB thanks (you and ghoti) for all the hard work!

To all first timers, I recommend that you be on the look out for the alley behind the address. I learned that the hard way last time

Yes. The alley behind the address.

 

[Grinch]

Bill, could I get that address as well? Thanks!

 

[bmason1623]

By the way, the address is on the quote which is in the link of the database.

Ha! A fellow horseradish fan. I used to buy the roots at the store until I started even getting old roots that really where not that strong. I then started planting my own horseradish and I haven't looked back. I always make sure that I have the windows open when ever I grate.

 

[PseudoChef]

I'll try to make it Friday afternoon or early Saturday morning.

i appreciate all your hard work haha, don't go crazy for it....i'd hate to be the one responsible for "making" you keep going to Floyds!!!

 

[bmason1623]

Anybody interested in taking in an extra sack of great western 2-row and pale malt? PM me if you are.

 

[bmason1623]

Looks like we can expect grain prices to keep going up.

Ok, only the sack of pale is left.

 

[forstmeister]

I can't wait to get these grains next week. My kegerator has been dry for a week and I have been drinking PBR to get by. It's been rough.

I must be a little warped, I grind it indoors and then let it oxidize until my eyes and sinuses can't take it any more, then I know its hot and ready to add the vinegar and stop the enzymatic action.

And the look on the persons face the first time they take a big fork full is priceless.

Fresh is the only way to fly...I replanted about 30 roots next my garlic.

Bill, I'll email you our process its simple. 10 steps or less.
Most important is patience, for the heat 3-5 minutes of oxidation.
Ingredients: HR root, coarse salt, crushed ice, water, vinegar

I usualy take my time with the whole grating process if i do it by hand,from time to time I will just use the food processor if I don't have a ton of time. I do notice that when using the processor the horseraddishs heat shelf life is more limited.
