Group Buy in Chicago #8

[swaite]

Forgive me if this a nub question, but I see Briess DME on the catalog, but I am unable to add it to my order. It just doesn't show up when I click add. That is true even when I just type in "Briess" and go through all the options. I would love to order some DME for starters.

Can I do this?

Thanks.

I added a 12 pack of dark belgian syrup packs, and opened a split for half of it. That does not seem to be working, as the split section is showing 3/3 available. What should I do? I'm happy to take the entire box if we can't split this item.

Update - I think my split was entered propertly, though there is another split that is behaving strangely.

I buy CMC because i get more bang (beer) for my buck and im very happy with the results, i recomende pilsen for lagers and belgians and superior pale ale for ales

I love the superior pale, but when I ordered it on the last buy they substituted pils. This round I put GW because of that, even though I want the other. I already have more pils than I need.

I found myself in the same situation, I believe that we are not going to allow the vendor to substitute this go around ?? and give us an opportunity to switch considering the quantities involved.
I also got the pils subbed for superior pale, no big deal except the 90 minute boil standard for pils, I burned the whole bag in a Kolsch run and it tastes fantastic. SO if you want CMC Superior Pale, dont order GW, you may have to change but for now represent what you want...

no substitutions this time around. however, if an item is out of stock it will be dropped completely with, again, no substitutions. It's too much work to keep track of it especially at 400 sacks.

ruh roh...is it too much to ask for an email to fire off to the acct mgr for the base grains only to very stock prior to close? Thats where most of the bulk is anyway...please

ok. how about if i let people know what is out of stock and what is available in it's place. people can tell me how to edit their order which I should be able to do on the database. then the database will spit out new reports. the problem is that if we take to long it could be back in stock by the time we make the changes. also, it's possible that other items that were in stock when we submitted the order could go out of stock while we figure out the replacements. these buys have become like the government in the sense that it takes a long time for things to get moving. it's the nature of the huge buy. but we'll manage.

 

[bmason1623]

we broke 100 participants tonight! don't all show up at once...

Just follow this thread. After the buy closes bill will say pay via PayPal then pick up begins about a week later at his shop near the city.

Thank you and thanks for doing this. Just stocked up for most of the rest of the year

Can't ask for much more than that. Will gladly take that over the alternative. Thanks for the option - hopefully it doesn't come to that.

Excellent...If there is anything I can assist with dont hesitate to ask..... personally I'd be happy to move lateral by brand as required...Thanks much.. put a time limit 24/36 hours to edit orders..tthats reasonable

Your items should appear in a list that appears above the list of Available Splits.

I'd be interested in a split of this too. Bill do you know if we have access to the Briess extract?

i made an inventory of my grain and found extra ziplock bag with c40 so i have to drop that from my order. Im tempted to get more base malt but i will probably brew less for a while (after my 2nd child is born) so 5 sacks should be enough till fall and around that time Bill will be running group buy no 15

Anyone know a good deal for corney's? Looking to pickup 2 more ball locks.

They are getting harder and harder to find. And when you do find them they are getting expensive. I think eventually we will all be buying sixtels (1/6 bbl) in the future.

corny keg depot. Scott sells them out of his house $55. I've picked up 4 from him.

Is there going to be a way that I know if the rest of my split was picked up? This way I could have the option of picking up the other half myself.
