Group Buy in Chicago #7

[bmason1623]

I added the Styrian Golding split. It's a hop that is showing up as sold out, but I figured I can add it and see what happens. If we can't get it, which we may not, we could sub Fuggle: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/wiki/index.php/Category:Fuggle_hop_varieties

If the catalog shows an item as sold out then don't add it.

So i shouldnt use any special kind of sugar? Or does it not matter.

I buy beet sugar (table sugar) at Aldi, it's $2 for 4 lbs.

i just got a cheap 25 pound bag from costco. I used honey on my last batch but it gets expensive.

I know this approach does not solve the pricing issue but it's worked well for me so I thought I'd mention it. I've used it in beer, hard apple cider and hard lemonade.

I take costco honey and cook it down to about 1/2 its original volume, then add that to the cider/beer/lemonade. I let the honey get a burnt quality see the video on the below thread (but I don't typically get as "Medeivel on it", as an actor once said in the movie Pulp Fiction). Once the honey reduces, make sure to add some water to keep it from getting hard when it cools. I really like this method of adding taste.

I'm trying to start a split of australian summer and once I make it a split I can't add any to my order. Whenever I press the plus button either in my order or in the splits section it just stays at 0#.

I removed it from my basket, could you remove it from everyone? I can start a fuggle.

I can't seem to find flaked wheat (GP-FLWHT) in the database. Is it possible to add this?

Try again

 

[Gothic_Horror]

Try again

I just tried it myself Ghoti and I can't add any of the OIO Brewer's Grains.

 

[forstmeister]

Does anyone know if any of the brewing enzymes are the one that Two Brothers uses in Prairie Path that completely denatures gluten?

 

[beergynt]

I was hoping to add a 1/11 split for some Hallertauer Mittelfruh. As of now, the pricing is not loaded. Think we could get enough interest to make that happen?

I now see the OIO flaked wheat, but none of the other OIO products.

 

[ghoti]

I only got the one added as I have some other things going on today.

Thanks ghoti, much appreciated

Was actually hoping to pick up some Perle, but its sold out. I decided to put a split up for some German Northern Brewer instead. If these splits don't get filled out, are the people in the split stuck with the remainder or is the order cancelled? I really don't want to get stuck with a s**t ton of German NB...

Typically if it doesn't get filled, it gets cancelled..but there's the last minute scramble nearing close-out of the buy...so don't give up hope or worry until pay-up time...

I go camping out your direction all summer long..off 47 south of the river.

 

[beergynt]

Yeah, I never camped out there. I remember some BA people tried to set up an event out there a few years back.

 

[ghoti]

Thanks ghoti, much appreciated

It has all been added let me know I you find something missing

 

[brewingmeister]

I'd like to tip my cyber hat to everyone involved in creating the buy, especially those hosting the pickup and creating the site. Just set up a split for some rye and the only way to describe it was...simply a breeze.

Bravo

Yes, I extend my thanks as well ... BTW The Splits are getting crazy! I hope everyone gets what they want.

 

[Polboy]

Is there anyone interested in cluster hops???, i dont use it very often but i made some excellent IPAs (cluster+cascade) and PA and i would love to experiment more with this not crazy popular variety, best part its only $6/lb and i have to pay $2.5/oz at brew and grow which break my heart (ok wallet), o did i mention its cheap?, come one, treat yourself with some cluster hops, you deserve it
BTW i open a split and i took 3lbs

Hi guys,

this will be the first group buy for me. Thank you for organizing all this.

And I have a question:
What's your preferred Pilsner malt? Do you recommend Best Maltz?

Thanks.

For continental styles, Best Malz is my go-to pils malt. Weyermann is also highly recommended. For Belgian styles I like Franco-Belges pils malt.

Unfortunately, Weyermann isn't available to us because it's not offered by country malt. I also highly recommend Best Malz Pilsen and Vienna too.

 

[bmason1623]

We also need to reimburse ghoti for the website template that he purchased for the database. How much do we owe you, Ghoti?

 

[ghoti]

$25 dollars

 

[bmason1623]
