Group Buy in Chicago #7

[autiger]

mine looks good, still confused on whether to go by spreadsheet price or website. Granted both don't include the extras.

 

[cadwallion]

I feel the same way. However, I have not found a good way of disposing of them besides tossing them in the garbage can.

Compost, if you are into that sort of thing.

I use it for bread, pizza dough, baked goods, and when I run out of uses it goes in the composter. I'm contemplating turning it into hard tack and using it as meals for my three year old when he's being unruly.

At that age you may need all of our spent grain...

I have a compost ball I bought through Costco years ago, I keep throwing grain in there. Although, it's gotten quite full and may have to consider other options.

That's humerous, but I tell ya that I just feel like pitching them is a waste. Has anyone found a good way to get homebrew spent grains to a good cause. It'll probably be more trouble than it's worth, but something for a problem solver to think about, especially one who owns animals somewhere!

If you have a farm nearby they would probably use it for feed. I took the family to a little farm just west of St Charles and suddenly picked up the scent of mashed grain. Turns out that the Lucky Monk gives them their spent grains.

 

[adman]

Mine looks good as well.

That's a good deal. One is being shipped to me now...

 

[ArtimusBeerimus]

Picked one up as well. Needed one for three years... Dealio.

 

[ghoti]

I picked up the camo one awhile back to replace my other food saver. These things worked great when we split up all the hops last year.

Thanks for the Links made them into a .pdf so I can print and put into my brewing binder

 

[bmason1623]

I added a new sheet in the spreadsheet labeled 'LINKS'. Inside there is a link for the latest catalog from MCM dated 2/11/13.

The only thing that has changed from the previous catalog is that domestic Fuggle is sold out. The database will be adjusted and spreadsheet will be updated. I am going to confirm pricing on items then I'll let people know when they can start submitting payment.

EDIT: Domestic Fuggle is sold out. UK Fuggle is still available.

Looks like it's domestic Fuggle that is sold out, the UK Fuggle still looks good. YES!

yes

Lets just hope people are as aggressive at submitting payments as we all were buying 333 sacks...(when bill says to pay that is)

 

[bmason1623]

actually it it is much less than than 333 sacks. it's 297 sacks. the spreadsheet validates all of the weights from one worksheet to another. there were many ghost splits that Ghoti needed to clean up. but still, 297 sacks is astonishing really. Basically, 7 full pallets of grain and an 8th pallet of other stuff.

 

[bmason1623]

I think people opened up splits but weren't quite sure how to split them. so they opened up new ones trying to figure it out. in the meantime, the previously opened splits were never removed. thus the huge difference from what we actually thought we had to what we actually did.

 

[Themats]

My order looks good. Thanks guys!

That could be just the place I'm looking for. Would you mind sharing the name of that farm?

 

[bmason1623]

ghoti is putting the finishing touches on the program. should be done within the hour. Then I'll run new reports and everything should be up to date. I also changed the name of the 4th sheet within the spreadsheet that gives general information such as latest catalog, email address, physical address. I'll add to it as information comes along. Refer to that sheet before asking questions. Also, do not share any of that info in public. Thanks.
