Hey TBU, your 4 bags of out of stock grain just arrived via UPS.

Awesome, depending on when the car gets back I'll stop by around 4-5ish? If not I'll come on Friday.

Fair enough. Done.

who is stopping by this afternoon and at what time? thanks.

 

[homebrewfrank]

Frank I just verified that I have 16.75 lbs and I had to run back to Bills for something and weighed the Opteek sack and its also 16 lbs plus a bit for the paper sack. Check your bins that was the first one measured.

Thank you for checking, im gonna double check everything again when i get home tonight.....in the meantime, if theres an extra 1/3 sack (roughly 16lbs) of C40 laying around by Bills, its probably mine haha

hbf, do you have any way of weighing your loose grain? if so, weigh it all up and then check it against what you ordered. maybe you placed it in a bin and mislabeled it? I will definitely keep an eye out for it.

[srbailey]

I will let you know tomorrow once I have a better idea of what my machinery movers have scheduled. Ideally, Sunday before the Bears game would be nice if possible.

 

[TheBreweryUnderground]

Traffic is terrible right now, but I'm on my way and hopefully should be there by then.

 

[srbailey]

I have to work Saturday and Sunday. I think I get off about noon on Sunday and I am in Western burbs so would likely be around 1:00. Maybe Friday morning or evening would be better.

 

[gsanstra]

I plan to swing by on Saturday mid morning of that's cool

[PseudoChef]

Great idea, im going to do that as soon as i get home!!!!

 

[Demon]

Are you available Saturday?

 

[bmason1623]

I'll be around Saturday starting at 9am.

 

[miamiweiss]

I will head down this afternoon, I'll shoot for between 4-5, so you FFF beer guys get your orders early.

MiamiWeiss and Brewingmeister, let me know if you want to pickup later this evening or whats best for you.

Just picked up my grains from Neopol, made my starter, and should be brewing in about 36 hours! Thanks again Neopol for picking up my order!

 

[homebrewfrank]

Ok, thanks to a great suggestion from Bill, i took inventory and just weighed everything that i brought home....2full sacks of TF MO, 27lbs of TF MO (i split a sack with forstmeister), 1 full sack of Great Western Prem. 2-row, 18lbs of TF Malted Rye (full sack i split with scotty77 and havoc531), 18lbs Best Malz Cara-pils (split sack from The One Buz, also split with Demon)........thats literally everything i have.

The C40 sack was split with brewingmeister (which i gave to Neopol and he confirmed it was only 18lbs, he was also awesome enough and when he went back, he weighed the sack labeled for Opteek and it was also 18lbs) so the last 18lbs of it is floating there somewhere i believe, dont waste time looking for it, if it turns up or of theres a rogue 1/3 sack, perfect..... if not, its my own fault, dont go crazy over it.

 

[srbailey]

Friday evening would work.

Ok Friday evening it is. Perfect, I am going to be working in the city Friday. I will find out what time we should be off work. Thanks.

I'll look for it again. Do you know what kind of bag it's in?

If it doesn't turn up I'll give you some of the dark crystal II I bought but you'll have to come get it. Its about a c85.

 

[bmason1623]

Bill, i'm about 90% sure i left my 1/3 sack of Great Western C40 there somewhere, i'm almost sure its still in the sack labeled for Opteek. I remember splitting off the 1/3 sack for Brewingmeister to give to Neopol, but i don't remember taking my 1/3 of it lol.....is it ok if Opteek leaves it there for me to pick up on Tuesday of next week?

Opteek, if Bill says its ok, would you mind leaving me the last 1/3 of the C40 split, i totally forgot to take my 1/3 out of the sack haha

Who was in on the c40 split? Which splits have already been delivered?

 

[Neopol]

Bill I have Brewmeisters 1/3 of C40, which I weighed again yesterday while at your place. This will be delivered tomorrow, awaiting confirmation on a time.
I also weighed the paper bag with opteeks name on it and it also weighed out correct. 16.66666 lb plus sack weight

So it is probable if its there, its in a grain sack, and possibly we wrote opteek on two partials.

 

[Docgineer]

I'll be there Saturday AM. Thanks again Bill.

Also, if anyone is looking for ball lock kegs I bought some good used kegs from a guy in the NW burbs off craigslist for $40 with new rings. He has 3,000 of them.
