Group buy in Chicago?

[wegz15]

I might get in on the rye. Which one were you thinking? Just looking at price wise. Don't want to over spend. Randar do you want me to pm ace about the orange peels?

 

[Randar]

Just PM'd him on the orange peel(s) and the list of 6 people for the 6-way split of 2 sacks of rice hulls. We could still add a person or 2 to the split without changing the order, so speak soon if interested.


I wasn't looking to spend a lot on the Rye Malt. CMC might be fine (fitty cents a pound or something like that)

 

[wegz15]

I'll get in on that rye if you don't mind

 

[Randar]

Sounds good. Just need to get the approval from RC and I will send Ace the PM for the 3-way split.

 

[Mike_A]

Yup, just confirming I'm in on the rice hulls split as marked above. This is coming together nicely and quickly...

 

[bmason1623]

I entered all of the split orders into the spreadsheet. PLEASE check the entries for errors. Thanks.

 

[bmason1623]

We have exceeded our target of 37 bags. I'm thinking maybe we should wait the rest of this week to see if anybody else wants to get in or change their order. Come Monday, I will contact the distributor and ask for a RFQ. Ace, what do you think? Anyone else have any suggestions?

 

[bmason1623]

wegz, clean out your inbox. thanks.

 

[Demon]

That's perfect. Gives the stragglers a couple days notice to get orders in, then we can get this thing rolling.

I added a second work sheet named "CMG-RFQ" which gives the list of items and their quantities that are on the order request from everybody. I will submit this info for an RFQ.

 

[Randar]

Can you please provide a drop-dead date/time? That would help? I am still trying to split a medium crystal sack...

Do you guys all brew pilsners or something?

 

[wegz15]

I thought there would be more splitting.

 

[bmason1623]

On Monday I will send them our list so they can start working on the quote. I'm thinking adding an additional sack or two shouldn't complicate things too much. I imagine it will take them a day or two to get back to me with the quote anyways. I think we have a little bit of time.

Has everyone reviewed their orders for discrepancies? I already was informed of a minor one that I promptly corrected. Please go over it. Thanks.

I'd still be in for a split of crystal if we could get enough people...

Also I'd like a 1lb bag of cinnamon sticks. I'd take the whole thing or split it halfsies

Anyone know if this would be good for BIAB?

(1590-F-2) Nylon Drawstring Bag 24" x 36" Fine $12.86 <.5mm nominal mesh size

(I've PM'd Ace with the cinnamon addition and MO split with RC0032)

 

[wegz15]

I'll get in on the crystal as well

 

[bmason1623]

I'll get in on the crystal as well

has the final breakdown tally on the crystal been sent to Ace? I think I might get the ball rolling here with the RFQ this afternoon. Once again, PLEASE check the spreadsheet for entry errors. Thanks.

 

[Randar]

conpewter and wegz and myself splitting a sack of ???


You guys want c-40 or 60? I could do any of these...

Fawcett Crystal Malt I (42-48°L) ($0.75/lb)
Fawcett Crystal Malt II (62-68°L) ($0.75/lb)
Bairds Carastan (30-40°L) ($0.64/lb)


My preference is the Crystal Malt I or II from Fawcett.

Not yet, need to agree on which to get.

 

[conpewter]

I'm ok with crystal 40 or 60. Slight preference for 60. I just would prefer to not end up with more than 10lbs of it, but we can work something out even after the order I'm sure.

I'm getting ready to email the list of items for the RFQ. We can always include the crystal to the order later on.

Once I receive the quote I will posted on google and send Ace the link to it. After a couple of weeks we're actually getting the ball rolling.

I received a quote from MCM. I was informed that Breiss and specialty items are not available to us. Basically, all we can purchase is sacks of grain (non Breiss of course). Can I take the liberty of replacing all Breiss items with some other equivalent item? Below is the email message I received:

"Bill,
pLease fin attached a quote for the order you placed.
you will see that all Briess products have been removed along with
all specialty items as these are not available for sale to Home brewwers or
Home Brew Clubs.
Please let me know if you are still interested in proceeding with
this ordr.

I love how some businesses could care less about spelling mistakes or other errors when dealing with a customer!

Ok, so no hops, bags, spices, candi sugar, DME, etc? That's kind of disappointing.

 

[RC0032]

Sorry I haven't been around; work is killing me. I'm cool with the rye split - wegz15

 

[RC0032]

Spreadsheet looks correct for me. How are you splitting delivery and fuel charge?

Also I dont have PP but I have cash and checks. Who is paying?

 

[conpewter]

That kinda sucks, told the wife I could get her cheap cinnamon sticks Ah well, grain makes beer and beer makes me happy again.

 

[wegz15]

im fine with whatever crystal. You can replace my 2 row and wheat with cmc

Ok, I will PM Ace about our split of the Fawcett C II (60-ish) I can take a disproportionately high share if you guys only want 10-15 pounds each, so just let me know... I just didn't want all 55 lbs!

 

[bmason1623]

I'm going to substitute all of the Breiss grains on the spread sheet with equivalents at the best price. Is everyone ok with this?

Bmason, I'm fine with subbing out the Briess for the next alternative.

 

[bmason1623]

We can still get the rice hulls.
