Quick question: Anybody from the Northern end of Chicago going to be picking up hops? I live in Evanston and, depending on the day of the pickup, I will likely be out of town. If anyone around my way will be picking up hops and could possibly grab my order (I'm only getting two pounds) I would much appreciate it. I figured I would ask as that would help unburden Bill from having to wait for me straggling. I would do my best to return the favor if there's any way I can on a future grain buy.

I'm in LP and would be happy to help out. Just let me know..

Thanks. I have no problem driving to make the pickup myself. Plus, I can personally thank those that have put in so much work. Face to face is sometimes the best way.

I'm just curious as to where it is located. Not a huge deal though. I'll keep you in mind though just in case.

 

[Neopol]

I'll let Bill chime on the specifics..rough area is a little west of logan sq./ little north of humbolt pk.

I live near Western and Foster and work in Wilmette. I have ample space to store a couple pounds if need be.

 

[bmason1623]

ok, I have recieved updated hops availabilty and pricing. Athunum is out of stock so I removed all 11 pounds from the spreadsheet. Prices went up on almost all hops by about $0.25-0.40 per pound. Columbus pricing on the database was way off (my fault) so I have updated that with the current pricing. Cascade was the only hops to drop in price and it went down by $0.10 per pound. I am waiting on shipping cost so I can update the spreadsheet. They are suggesting UPS but I asked if regular freight would be cheaper since we are at 286 pounds. Will update once I hear back.

 

[bmason1623]

Regarding shipping charges, the following is from the supplier:

I don’t have those charges yet but after the order ships the finance department will generate the invoice that is automatically emailed to you in about 24-48 hrs after the order ships.

Hope that helps.

So please send the amount for the hops. Once I get the shipping costs I will update the spreadsheet and then everyone can pay me the balance. Thanks.

 

[sudsmcgee]

Bill, do you want me to pay the difference in price now ($1.73 still owed for me after the price adjustment), or should I just wait until you get the shipping cost and pay the total amount owed then?

wait until shipping costs are included then there is only one more transaction to do.

 

[sudsmcgee]

OK, thanks!

Just to reinforce how great of pricing this group has negotiated, I just got off the phone with a local hop farmer I have been going back and forth with for some time.

For local grown leaf and pellet he stated he can give us his brewery/lhbs pricing; mind you its still not as great as we are getting.

Bravo, Mt.Hood, Celia, Golding $10/lb
Hallertau $13/lb

Leaf Cascade minibale $10/lb
Pellet Cascade $12/lb


Contracts are going to be our best option at the more popular ones going forward.

 

[bmason1623]

We should probably start discussing contract options in greater detail now that this current buy is starting to wind down.

 

[nwestby]

What payment or personal type do I select on paypal to get the charges right?
