Group buy in Chicago?

[bmason1623]

It's too bad we can't buy muslin bags in bulk. I go through a lot of those.

Have you considered nylon? Mine last forever. Look terrible but they are clean and sanitary.

I like muslin bags because I can just toss them when I'm done.

The paypal transfer to my account has cleared. Just emailed the distributor and will call her to place the credit card transaction. I'll post expected delivery date once I find out.

Sweet! :rockin:

Just placed my order for my grain mill as well!

I like my nylon ones as well. I little more rigid and durable and in general I prefer it over the muslin. Easy to wash/clean.

okey dokey. I just placed the order. It will ship out on Tuesday and be delivered on Wendseday. Not sure why it takes one day since I'm only 45-60 minutes away but whatever. Important thing is that we're getting our grain. I would like to set up grain pick up "appointments" beginning on Thursday. This will give me some time to break down the bags for the split orders. Sen Ace your day/time requests. I'm usually at my shop between 9am-2:30pm then 5:00pm on. Lets make Saturday's time 10am-3pm and Sunday 11am-2pm. Also, one more important request on my part. I am going to have everyone sign off on their pick ups; no exceptions. Does that sound good to everyone?

EDIT: Send Ace your pick up time requests. Thanks.

Sounds good. I don't think anyone should be adverse to signing off on their pick ups. Best way to ensure that everything is accounted for.

thanks again!!

Im out this weekend like we discussed can I do Monday after 5pm?

 

[Mike_A]

Thanks bmason. I'll have to pick up in the evening some day hopefully during the week. How late are you there in the evenings after 5? I don't expect you to wait around late but I'd like to skip the evening rush hour if possible. One other thing is what intersection are you near? I need to estimate how long it will take me to get there. I know you posted a grid location earlier in the thread but I can't search that out :\

 

[bmason1623]

After 5 is fine. just let me know which days are best for everyone. Again, I'm 1800N, 4900W.

 

[Mike_A]

bmason, is that around W. North Ave (64) and N Austin Ave? That's the area that pops up when I google 1800 N & 4900 W, Chicago. Trying to figure out the best way/time to get there - whether immediately after work or to wait after rush hour.

Maybe it would be easiest to just PM me the exact address of your shop.
Thanks!

Grand and Cicero...

EDIT: My exact address is on the quote. Ask Ace for the link if you don't have it.

 

[bmason1623]

I am supposed to be getting the PRO number tomorrow morning. I'm assuming that delivery is still on for tomorrow. Will post back once I have that confirmed.

 

[bmason1623]

Mm...grain.

The rice hull sacks look like bundles of home insulation. Maybe we can start pick ups Friday after 5 pm. Let Ace know of your pick up request.

I received the malt analysis in hard copy form. I requested it emailed to me so that I can send it to Ace and he can forward it to everyone else.

EDIT: I have emailed Ace the malt analysis sheets.

Bmason, is your name or address anywhere on the analysis? If not, it would be easier for me to just post it in the forum, rather than pm it to everyone.

Ace, good idea. Here is the link to the analysis sheets.

So are we starting pickups tomorrow or Friday bmason? Originally you said Thursday, but if Friday works better for you that's all good by me. I'll have to stop by after 5pm either way, but I'd like to pickup before the weekend since I'm aiming to brew this weekend.

 

[ThatGuyRyan]

We are on for Friday afternoon! See you soon!

Mike_A, you can stop by on Friday after 5PM. Maybe you'll meet Ryan. I'm going to break down the split orders starting tomorrow so I don't want to recieve anybody until Friday and beyond. I'm hoping everyone can pick up by this weekend. I need my floor space.

 

[Mike_A]

Friday it is! Man, I'm excited. This is going to be my first AG batch, and I just built a brewstand for it (insert shameless self-promotion here) and I can't wait to break it in.

I don't expect you to wait around all evening, so I'll do my best to get out there as early as I can. I'll be leaving from home hopefully around 4:30. Thanks so much again for pulling this all together, you could not have made it any easier.

Sounds good. See you then. BTW, very nice brew stand.

Just heard on the radio that there's an overturned grain truck on Arsenal Rd. in the southern suburbs of Chicago. I bet that is affiliated with our grain distributor mid country malt. If you're near there stop by with a bucket and a shovel.

Anyone else out in the northwest suburbs? With gas prices as they are we could "grain pool" and I'll bring out your grain for a bit of gas money

I can probably make it down there on Friday as well if that works bmason.

I plan on coming early Saturday morning around 10 AM. Do I need to do anything special when I come pick it up?

yes, a single bottle of your homebrew if you have any. I would like to see how my beer compares to other fellow home brewers. other than that I can't thinkof anything else you would need to bring.

I already have an assorted case packed Too bad two of my beers that placed in the HBT competition are all gone but I will have my 21.7% IPA’s and a few other decent brews that you will be sipping on soon.
