I will issue a refund after we take delivery.

 

[Polboy]

Any predictions on delivery date?

 

[cadwallion]

Thanks guys. Taproom buildout should be done in October.

The race is on! We're aiming for September taproom opening.

This guy, I like the spunk!

I know I've got a $10 something credit now since Hallertauer was out after payment.

I'd be happy to apply that toward something else in the group buy instead of going through the hassle of a refund...

I'm sure there are people that backed out of their buys and have stuff sitting around. Where could I see what is available to snag up, if any?

I was just messin. Bill usually posts pick-up times on here and people can always make arrangements throughout the week after the first pick-up date. I wonder what 500+ people going to Bill's on a Sunday will look like?

That's actually what I was wondering about, weekend, and an event like this probably being outside normal business hours. I got an itch now, plenty of grain and hops coming.....

Don't forget to bring beer for Bill and team working (for free) to make this happen. Last buy, bill had a table for all the beer people came with.

Homebrew for these guys is always appreciated. Some nice bottles from the shop also is a very good plan.

 

[ThirstT]

I think it would be fair if newbs have to to send some amounts, say $25, to register with the GB. If they don't drop out, they can use it towards their buy. If they drop out after closing, their money goes toward covering any difference in shipping, food and food for the people doing the splits.

I thought that I had a pretty good solution by making new buyers pay for at least 80% of what they order upon original submittance. However, if the major problem for Bill is the reallocation of the freight costs, than the registration fee that goes towards their end order would be a simpler solution theoretically. Either way Bill, it is work for you. So I'll support any decision you make in this regard. For those that disappear completely, order some dessert with your pizzas!

 

[ThirstT]

If you like taking payment in beer, yes.

I'm about to build up a thirst that will make you regret that statement!:cross:

...Challooooooongeeeeeeee!!! (Is anyone else picturing Sandman Simms, the tap dancer from the Cosby Show?)

Ya only if the beer you brew sucks! ThirstT?

We got to get rid of our sucky beer somewhere

Gee thanks! JK

 

[ylpaul2000]

I hope you guys realize I'm only giving ThirstT a hard time, not really making fun of him. In fact we are good friends and brew together pretty regularly. The reality is his beer only 60% sucks, it's not all bad

 

[cadwallion]

Definitely going to regret not buying more sacks of 2row. I have a week off brewing while a friend from London is staying with us, then 5 batches to get back up to full capacity. If the Black IPA is acceptably aged, I should have some of that for the pickup. Otherwise I'll be beerless as all my other beers are finishing in two weeks. Too many samples given out for recipe feedback and convincing businesses to buy from us when we open.

 

[bmason1623]

My bank will wire out the money this afternoon. I'm expecting delivery probably on Tuesday. I think we should schedule splits for the latter half of next week, with my preference being on a Friday like last time. Then let people start picking up over the weekend.

 

[rgauthier20420]

Can't make split day due to work, but will be there for pick up with some Belgian Ale to share. Thanks again Bill for setting this up!

 

[bmason1623]

I just want to add the split party is going to be by invitation only. We can't have too many helpers because then we just get in each other's way. I hope everyone understands. Thanks.

 

[Cmdr_Gonzo]

I'm willing to help on the splits if needed and of course dependent on the day and time.

 

[Polboy]

Let me know If need more help throwing sacks of grain, i may be able to show up around 4pm on Friday next week (maybe earlier than that)

If it's next Friday for the splits, and you need a hand, I'm available to help. I work downtown and could come straight from the office - get there around 5:30 or so. If not, then I'll see you next weekend to pick up.

I can make a Friday split day, to make up for not being in attendance the last two group buys yet consuming plenty of splits.

I'm in Portage Park. so I'm pretty close to you if you need any help.
