Group buy in Chicago?

[Ace_Club]

Alright all,

With thatguyryan's order, we are now at 21 sacks of grain plus some additional non-grain items. Talk to your friends/neighbors/pets/etc. and let's get the remaining 16 sacks ordered so that this can become a reality!

I think we're at plenty more than 21. Still updating the speadsheet...

 

[sudsmcgee]

Ace, did you get my order revision?

 

[Ace_Club]

Ace, did you get my order revision?

Yes

 

[bmason1623]

with ThatGuyRyan's order, we're at 27 sacks so far. Everyone please go over the spreadsheet and check for indiscrepancies. I tried to be as detailed yet concise as possible. If you have questions let me and Ace know. Thanks.

 

[Ace_Club]

If you need the link to the spreadsheet, please PM me.

PM sent.

Anyone interested; or preferably a few people, splinting a 55lb sack of specialty?

The last few times I ran a GB we bought a sack of 60L and divided it, everyone got ~7lbs.

Anyone interested in that? if we do a crystal we would need most of the group to go in on the split.

Im thinking biscuit, rice hulls, etc.

Also anyone interested in splitting a sack of MO?

Since we are only using paypal to transfer money to the person actually buying the product we could send it as "gift" and not have the fees.

I might be interested in a split. Depends what it is though. I have a brew buddy I can ask too. Were already splitting a wheat

 

[conpewter]

I'd split crystal as long as it was several ways (like the 7lbs mentioned)

Rich, I can split my bag of MO with you if you want.

 

[RC0032]

Ok lets split a MO. - Ace you got that?

What size do the rice hulls come in?

So you and conpewter are going half on a bag of MO?

 

[1234]

Rice Hulls come in 55lb sacks!

 

[RC0032]

So you and conpewter are going half on a bag of MO?

Yup

Rice Hulls come in 55lb sacks!

Are there 3 other people that would want to split a sack? That's ~13.5lb each.

 

[Demon]

I can go in on the rice hull split.

 

[Randar]

I can go in on the rice hull split.

Me too.

 

[RC0032]

Now we are talking!!

Do I hear coriander? going once?

 

[Randar]

Anyone interested in splitting sacks of the following:

- Grains of Paradise (1 lb package) (I want 4 oz but would take half a pound to make the deal happen... price is UNREAL)
- Bitter Orange Peel (I want 1/4 to half #)
- Sweet Orange Peel (I want 1/4 to half #)
- Vienna Malt (from Franco-Belg or Best Malz) (I want half a sack)
- Medium Crystal (from Fawcett or Bairds) (I want half a sack)
- Flaked Wheat (I want half a sack)
- Rye Malt (maybe 3-way split if enough interest but would take half to make it happen)

Please lemme know or if any of the rest of you are looking to split certain things.

 

[RC0032]

I would like some Rye but 25lbs is a lot. If we can split that 4 ways great!

I could also take 1/4lb of Grains of Paradise.

In order to better keep track of the split orders, feel free to solicit responses for splitting items in this thread. However, once you have something figured out, PM me with the item and who is splitting it (and how it is being split if not in equal amounts).

Thanks,

 

[wegz15]

I'll take the last fourth of rice hulls.

I might be interested in a bitter/sweet orange peel split as well.

Yes, that's a great idea. Thanks everyone.

 

[bmason1623]

We're at 31 sack so far. I may yet purchase an additional sack myself. We're almost at our target of 37.

 

[Randar]

bmason, if I get a couple of these sack splits we will make that number no problem. I will be getting several sacks that I just have not yet specified. Was trying to figure out these split-sacks first.

 

[ThatGuyRyan]

You may want to contact the supplier and ask if the rice hulls take up more than one sack space. I have a feeling that they will be 2-3X the size of the normal sacks.

Let's get everybody's orders in first. Then I'll send them a RFQ for all of our collective order and see what they say. Given how much we would be ordering they may not care if it takes up more than a single sack space.

 

[RC0032]

55lbs of rice hulls I cant wait to see that! you could go swimming in it.

 

[sudsmcgee]

I'd like to split on rice hulls as well.
