Group Buy in Chicago #7

[forstmeister]

Lol this is my first bulk grain buy rodeo... and Im lovin it!

So how exactly does the splitting thing work? Is it the responsibility of those involved in splits to make specific arrangements to meet at the place the shipment arrives and actually physically split the bags?

Splits used to be done by arrangement. Now when you want one you can look at the available splits at the bottom or add a sack and split it using the buttons on the order page. I believe Bill said that all splits will be handled by a core group of volunteers who will divide everything ahead of pick up. Feel free to correct me if I am wrong.

Yeah I assumed it was done by arrangement which is why I listed my current splits... but having it split prior to pick-up makes things a whole lot easier

After 6 previous grain and 1 hop buy ithink we learned a few things to make it a smooth process.

Are we able to get hops on this buy? I saw them in the catalog but there has been no mention of hops, unless I just completely missed it-in which case I apologize.

If it's in the catalog and it's in stock then we should be able to get it.

Man, days in and this thread is only 188 posts... remember the good old days of doing split sacks via posts?

 

[bmason1623]

147 sacks, 3.5 pallets.

 

[starman]

I was trying to start a split on the Star San. I am interested in only one gallon. Is there a reason why the system will not let me open a split on this item? Or do I need to order all 4 gallons on my sheet and manually get others to commit to purchasing the other three gallons?

Mark

Yeah, that's how it works. First guy 'vouches'

Hey Bill - I'm having trouble logging in. I was able to sign in and add a couple sacks of 2 Row a few days ago. I went to add stuff today and the sign in screen just keeps reloading. I tried changing my password but the link from the email gives me this error:

"Not Found

The requested URL /grain/[email protected]&id=62FpXRG41Qva2 was not found on this server."

I'm sure it's something dumb I'm doing. Any tips?

I'll have to look into it and get back to you.

Bill or ghoti, can you send me a PM when those adjunct grains are added to the database? I don't check this thread as religiously as I should but want to be able to get these into my order.

I am good for one gallon of star san, I was waiting for your split to be available.

The url changed a few days ago after the site had issues. Go back to post 1 and click the link there, it was updated.

 

[bmason1623]

the starsan gallons should be "splitable" now.

 

[ghoti]

The star San split should be working now on the 4x1 gallon only. The prices will be updated tonight when I get home.

ghoti, if a person is deleted from the group buy do their previously entered orders get deleted also?

 

[ghoti]

Nope but you can use the admin site to remove all their products.

ok. thanks

 

[cadwallion]

I don't see PBW or any other cleaner outside of StarSan available in the database. Are they unavailable, or just not added to the db yet?

Most of my order is in, my Prius is going to get a workout on this pickup.

 

[beergynt]

Glad I was able to get in on this buy! Hoping for a 1/4 split on some C15 or C30?

 

[jmg727]

Star-san is available

One can add Star San but not split it.

 

[jmg727]

Just tried. Not yet.

 

[jmg727]

I'm also having trouble starting a two way split of rice hulls.

 

[ghoti]

I just tried and Star San is splitable. I will work on rice hulls.

 

[mikescooling]

I just split 4 Star san, thanks ghoti. I had faith.
