Group Buy in Chicago #7

[J-Luke]

Btw has anyone used Falconer's Flight hops? If so, how did you like it?

 

[jmg727]

would anybody in the group buy object if we asked everyone to pitch in a cumulative total of maybe $25 extra so I can buy some burgers and brats for the guys who will be helping out with the crapload of splits? I figure it's going to take us at least 6 hours to do all of the splits. The least we can do is feed them. Is that cool?

Fine with me!

 

[Neopol]

well I intended on supplying my home brew but I guess the secret is out that I am the world's worst brewer. Maybe I should buy them some beer too...

I too will bring a keg or partial of something, I've got farmhouse saison, a dbl choc stout, a dragons milk clone, and an overly Amarillo hopped american wheat on tap..

 

[jmg727]

I just put a half sack of MO back online. Anyone interested. I would take 10 lbs of Chocolate if others are still interested.

I have 3-4 gallons of my wookey Jill (my yells was off so not quite as strong as wookey jack) I can bring as well.

Math is fixed on the pounds.

here's what is displaying:

Total Pounds Ordered: getSplitTotalPounds = 5094 16489

I can bring my Kentucky Breakfast Stout clone. That should make the splits very interesting.

ha. remember fellas, first we split then we drink. otherwise, everyone's orders will get screwed up.

 

[wagz]

I bet the grain splits go faster than the hops.

worked like a charm!

 

[bmason1623]

true. before any splits we need to sort all of the sacks on to separate pallets. I have plenty of room now to arrange stuff on pallets.

 

[starman]

How many unique orderers do we have?

Was that 6k#s in splits?

Who has a session beer on deck?

 

[Neopol]

Saison tastes light and sessionable, dry at 8.5%

 

[KurtB]

I was just going to try and place an order tonight before this closes tomorrow night, but I cannot download the catalog. There used to be a link on the page, but now all I see is a link to the spreadsheets.

Can somebody help me out?

Mmmm sounds good but gonna have to give that the makers mark treatment and cut it with water.

6000 lbs of split at quarter sacks is ~420 sacks/bags/buckets.

We'll need a couple big scales and a couple breweries worth of empty sacks.

 

[mikescooling]

I have a electronic refrigeration tank scale that will weigh up to 125lbs and has tenth of an ounce accuracy and a butchers mechanical scale that has to the 1/4 of a pound accuracy, but only goes up to 25lbs, like the one at brew and grow but not as crappy. Let me know if you want to use them? Do you guys need boxes?

How many lbs do you think would fit in a paper grocery bag?
I see sams sells them 500 for $36 delivered but I also think Aldi is like .05 each.

We've reached the last 24 hours of the group buy. I'll check in on the splits in the afternoon and start picking up stray splits where I can.

Bill, as long as I'm not speaking at a conference this time (which hilariously enough the next one is March 5-9), I'll volunteer my services and drive out from Sycamore to help with managing splits since last time I had to bail on account of being in a different time zone.

 

[cadwallion]

Wow, folks have been busy. I checked splits earlier and something like 20 splits were active, and most of those are gone and there are only 11 currently open? I may not have much more to add to my order.

 

[homebrewfrank]

Bill you officially suckered me in....i caved, i jumped in on a few splits. Im sure Ill be watching to see if any more happen to pop up!!!

 

[hot427cobra]

Bill,

Just want to clarify one thing since the buy is closing tonight. For those of us who are planning to order a JD barrel, are we supposed to enter it onto this group buy sheet? Or will this barrel purchase be handled off line in a separate transaction?

Those might work well for 1/4 sack splits. Double bagged folded over and stapled. Labels would stick well too.

We could then use the empty quarter split sacks for half sacks.

I'm not sure. Maybe add it to the final spreadsheet? Do we have 4 barrels accounted for?

I will post a confirmation post later this morning...

 

[bmason1623]

Just a reminder, this group buy closes at midnight tonight.

Cool thanks, will do. Although i was looking for an excuse to piss my wife off about something else... currently weigh out grains 2 lb at a time on the hop scale.

Bill did your big grocery scale get healthy?

I have a second scale we can use; it goes to 100 lbs.

Found a copy of the sheets on my work computer this morning so now I just need to quickly go through and see if there is anything I need to order.
