Group Buy in Chicago #8

[bmason1623]

it was nice meeting the familiar faces today as well as the new faces. thanks for helping these group buys happen.

 

[bmason1623]

Also, the group buy helpers who make this happen are great. Ghoti, Neopol, starman and wagz just to mention a few. Thanks!

 

[Stephen_mc]

Thanks a million for setting up. Good to meet everyone and some great beers.

It was great to put some faces to the usernames at the pickup this morning. Had a great time.

I haven't seen the question asked now that we are picking up. I don't think I ordered enough grain, when is the next group buy? Just kidding. I am not brewing that much right now and if I bring home much more grain I think my wife will make me sleep in the garage among the buckets.

Hopefully for the next buy I will have the entire day clear so I can stick around longer, help haul sacks of grain, shoot the ****, and drink more beer.

Bill, were you serious when you said you might start importing stainless coils for jockey boxes? The box you have is great, and finding a reasonably priced coil has been the one thing keeping me from building one.

I am looking into importing finished SS coils and will let people know once I get more information. Have I ever mentioned that a bed of grain sacks can be quite comfy?

 

[bmason1623]

I will be there tomorrow around 10:30-11 to pick up.

See you tomorrow

 

[bmason1623]

I was planning on coming today between 5-6pm. Glad I saw that the doors were closing at 4 before I headed over there. I will be there tomorrow after my nephews christening around 3-4pm.

Check in with me before heading over to make sure I'll be here.

 

[bmason1623]

Yes there is a tray here of horseradish starts take what you want..you don't need to worry about a wet zip lock, they are hardy...also I haven't heard one direction or the other from Pseudo, so I put both your names on the bag of tabs, the cost and my PayPal Addy..so first to it at this point

Mike took the whirl flock today...

 

[Neopol]

Thanks Bill, he messaged me and paypal'ed.. I should have posted I was busy answering some planting q's.. Thanks to everyone involved, it takes us all to get something this big done with minimal issues.,as a group I dont think it gets much better!

 

[PseudoChef]

PseudoChef,
Do you still want that 1/8 breakbrite tabs? I haven't heard from you.

Sorry for not getting in touch sooner. I see it is taken. Sorry again, hate to be "that guy!"

 

[autiger]

Thanks to Bill and the entire split crew. You guys are amazing at knocking that out and have it down to a science. Thanks again!

 

[beergynt]

I unfortunately have to work this weekend (again ) so I'll have to pick up on Monday (hopefully). Bill, will you be around on Monday at 3:00 or so?

 

[cheesecake]

On my way out that way now

 

[cadwallion]

Leaving Sycamore now, should arrive ~11. The Black IPA is not ready, so I'm traveling boozeless.

 

[bmason1623]

[Face Eater]

Ok I'm going to head out in a bit to get the grain. Thanks.

 

[opteek]

Will be heading out soon, also.

 

[Neopol]

Wow... Thats pretty douchey...at least pick the man up a sixer..

 

[Themats]

I should be there before noon. No home brew in stock so New Glarus will have to do...

 

[DoubleFist312]

Hey Bill, I should be there today around 3 or so, will you still be there?

 

[starman]

As I'm milling for an 11g batch of Dennys Conn's Wry Smile this thought occurred to me: "OMFG I didn't get enough grain!!"

That's fine

Many thanks to Bill and everyone else that helped make this happen. I have enough to hopefully last most of the summer right now, and am looking forward to the next one. If you need someone to help on splits next time, I'm happy to do that too. Thanks folks!

sucks to be you! I'll be camping up at governors dodge in august and plan on picking up a case or two while im there

 

[mikescooling]

Bill, should we save our empty grain sacks for the next buy?
Dave sorry about the bad grammar in my PM. The horseradish starts are in wet dirt. If they are like hops, I can grow them. Thanks again. We need to get the bikes out.

Haha Mike I'm sure mine wasn't any better, I spent the afternoon at the Crown BrewFest in Crown Point and probably 40 - 1/4 pours in me by then... If they are in the ground, they'll grow.. I'll send a how to make the actual sauce to you and any others that took em, but you will have to remind me I am sure....

Bikes yes, just got finishes adjusting the tappets, lifters, pushrod slack on the 64... Well definitely have to see about a meetup sometime ...now cleanup time and off to a wedding...yipeee.

I gave Bill an IOU of Cademon beer instead of a commercial beer.
