Group Buy in Chicago #7

[cheesecake]

everything looks good for my order

 

[jmg727]

Bill and Ghoti, I just wanted to say thank you for organizing all of this. I am so psyched to get my grain etc. I'm planning a great Spring of brewing and you guys made it possible and affordable. Let me know if you need any help with the order. Josh

 

[adman]

Great work as always, guys. Thanks!

 

[brian_n]

Sorry if I missed this, but are we good to start sending in our money yet?
Also, Bill, is personal check a payment option? Thanks.

 

[autiger]

Just wondering which amount to go by, my total is higher on the spreadsheet than the website.

 

[mvanwie]

Good here.

The shipping costs are on the spreadsheet. Don't pay anything just yet. I'm still adding different formulas to keep the different numbers in balance with each other. Please bare with me a little longer.

 

[Neopol]

Please bare with me a little longer.

I must decline, no hugs either!

So is anyone interested in posting what they are planning to brew with our coming supplies? I'm excited about trying some variations on wheat beers, orange, honey, smokey, chocolate. Will probably use variations on this recipe on hbt.

I brewed it a few weeks ago and split it between S-05 and WB-06, and far prefer the 06. I'll probably repitch that into a split batch.

UPDATE

You can start sending payments. Please read the "General Info" tab within the spreadsheet regarding payments through paypal. Checks are fine also and they can be sent to the address in the 'General Info' sheet. Of course is cash is king; we can always arrange somewhere to meet.

The amount owed by each participant is in the "user subtotal' column K. The shipping charges came out to $0.049 per lb. The user subtotal includes the shipping charges. It's pretty self explanatory really.

I will enter how much I received from you in another column. Then an additional column will show your balance due or over-payment. This will be used for any out of stock items that we may encounter; or unexpected price increases.

Unlike in the past, I am going to collect from everyone first. Once money has been collected I will ask for a quote/invoice. I will post that for everyone to see. Then I will place the order. Again, any price difference between what the spreadsheet shows and the quote/invoice will be accounted for in the balance/over-payment column. I am asking for payment first then the quote/invoice so that we are not going back and forth with the vendor. They were a little annoyed with the constant revisions last go around.

Which leads to another important point, you can no longer modify your order. That causes too many errors. This buy is much larger than I ever expected (296 sacks and 73 participants) so we can't be changing stuff around because it WILL lead to errors.

In the past, it has taken typically 2 weeks for all payments to get to me. I don't anticipate this buy taking any less time...but I am open to pleasant surprises. Let me know if anyone has any questions. Thanks, everyone! Start your payments!

EDIT: Please include your hbt username and/or email address on your payment so I know whose account to credit.

I am contemplating filling that barrel with a big coffee/molasses RIS, or a AB clone hence the 5 lbs of chinooks I ordered. Or maybe I'll volunteer for a collaborative barrel aged porter/stout for a fall kegging. Otherwise all straight forward pipeline brews.

 

[autiger]

Does the shipping charge include the food for everyone doing the splits and website costs, etc.? I plan on over paying anyhow, but want to be sure of my total before I tack on extra

"Shipping Charge" is a general term that includes everything including food for the volunteers, paper bags, hazmat fees, fuel surcharges, pallet delivery costs, etc.

 

[bmason1623]

by the way we are looking at 8 pallets...

The 4 JD barrels will come out to $155.98 each with shipping. I'm rounding it to an even $156.00.
