Group Buy in Chicago #8

[Jgrove10]

Yes sir, I think that's 4-5 tentatives..Its added to my order I'll keep and vac seal any overage, the mfr says they keep for a year with no degradation.

I'll edit this with a back-read on the tentatives.

Neopol - 2/8
Wagz - 1/8
Spacemanspiff - 1/8
Artimus - 1/8
PseudoC -1/8
Bill - 1/8
You too can be here - 1/8

put me down for 0.125...

Neopol, count me in for 1/4 if it's available, or whatever I can get. Sick of buying whirlfloc in little jars of 10 each.

You got it..

240 sacks...

Not sure if I missed it - but when I was searching hops the other day it was giving the option to buy them on a per pound basis. Right now it's showing me in lots of 11lbs.

Am I looking at something wrong?

Thanks

 

[ghoti]

This is still a problem for me. I can add to 50#, but the 8# will not add. After ordering it the last time and not getting it, I would really like to get some this time.

Send me a pm and I can add it to your order manually

 

[dazed]

I'm in if its still open...just registered.
Thanx

Thanks. Just sent the pm. Obviously no rush as long as it happens before the close of the buy.

I'm in, after cheesecake if their is a split going on?

 

[jmg727]

Terry, there are some great threads right here on hbt about that exact topic.. Its oxyclean and the new safe red devil trisodium phosphate. And many that swear its exact down to basic chemical composition.

I have a pail of both, as I get tired of cleaning that white residue just oxyclean leaves behind, its easy with a little starsan on a paper towel but annoying nonetheless. Once my smoked ported is done chugging away, I plan to test it out..

I'd love to try the smoked porter. Did you use the smoked malt from the last buy?

 

[Neopol]

Someone will have to start another, I ordered a 2.2lb and the split of 1/8s is full.

Its AB Vickers breakbright tabs. if we can get to the next size, ill confirm the qty I will order and repackage.. its 2.2lbs GR-BGHT-1K and 11lbs xxxxxxx -5K

 

[bmason1623]

I updated the spreadsheet for the last time today. 244 sacks and counting

 

[Neopol]

Yes it was th Briess cherrywood smoked... its tasty (if you like rauchbiers) - down from 1.060 to 1.018 in 8 days on 007 still chugging along, getting racked the coming weekend.

I qualified the "if you like rauchbiers" because my girlfirend is a smoker and thinks its too smokey, and I am not a smoker but enjoy smoked meats/jerky's and think it could be more smokey and not be too cloying. I wimped at 12%of GB.

I combined the smoked malt with some rye malt, both from the last buy. I bottled it about 10 days ago and just cracked one open to see what was happening. The beer has mellowed a bit but is still a bit phenolic. Let me know what happens with yours.

Funny you mentioned that, given I'm an airline pilot. But I'm not on a plane now, just in Canada, where wifi is the only way to go without massive charges. I'll try tomorrow when I get home, though I've tried on my home computer a couple dozen times. Sorry for all the work. Thank you.

I'd be more than willing to meet for couple bottle cross sampling, what kind of phenolic flavor are you getting, what yeast did you ferm out with. Mine is only 8 days in but I didnt get anything not expected.
70% base, 12% smoked, 4% ea c40 85, black, choc and 2% Xtra Spec... 007 @ 64

Appologies...I know this is a grain buy...Im a side tracker...sorry.

If its still going ill jump on that after my kids are down.

 

[autiger]

Trying to remove a split it and its giving me an invalid parameter page.

Logged out and then back in. All cleared now!

 

[ArtimusBeerimus]

Yeah, the system's a little buggy at times, but I'd much rather have the bugs than not have the tool. Props to ghoti. And to Bill for managing the data.

The other night my nephew and I both accidentally picked up the same split at the same time. The split was removed from the "available" list but showed up on both our "purchase" lists. After several page refreshes on both our ends (thinking that might drop the erroneous split), I ended up dropping mine just in case, after which the dropped split did not show as available. Just noting the issue for future reference as this might end up causing some incorrect allocations if it unwittingly occurs for other users.

 

[ghoti]

I will take a look at the bug to see if I can see what is going on. There have been some updates but since we needed to get this buy in on such a short time we needed to hold back on the launching the updates.

 

[dbarton02]

Is there any way we can get a notification a day or two before the buy closes? I know I still have some 'open' hop splits that may not be filled. I'd like to try and add ones I can get before the close (seeing as how I have some $$ allocated for this - might as well spend as close to my full amount as possible).

Thanks!

 

[ghoti]

@dbarton02 Yes, I can reach out to you to let you know when we are close to closing.
