Hops Group Buy in Chicago #1

[dbrewski]

I think when the split is all taken it goes away and then you have to start a new split. Look back a couple pages for the split sizes.

Anybody interested in a split of nugget.

I guess what I'm asking is if the original split is still valid since it was listed as not available. I already have my 1lb. Just verifying that it wasn't passed over when the purge was completed.

Put in an order for 6#'s. First time participating...looking forward to the hoppy goodness

Pretty sure it was missed on the purge

which hop are we talking about again?

 

[BigInChicago]

Chinook

 

[FourSeasonAngler]

I'm willing to bet that Motueka split will not be in stock if the Topaz and Galaxy weren't. Worth a shot though.

I agree. The longer we wait though the less chance we have of getting dibs before its gone too.

 

[bmason1623]

Chinook

chinook and Nelson Sauvin Organic will be removed.

Shipping Charges

Below is an email from the hops company regarding shipping costs. I am thinking that we should estimate shipping costs on 11 pound cartons regardless if it's one or more cartons, or 44# cartons. Once we get the totals i can refund people who overpaid for shipping their money. The database will calculate the cost per pound.


There is no typical shipping cost, it will fluctuate often depending on cost of gas, the total pounds shipped, how many boxes and cost of the product.



1-44# box of Cascade via UPS Ground est. $33.87

5-44# boxes of Cascade via UPS Ground est. $149.35

1-11# box of Zythos via UPS Ground est. $15.33

4-11# in 1 master pack box of Zythos via UPS Ground est. $33.24

More than 9-44# boxes of 200/lbs we ship on a pallet, max would be 30-44# boxes or 130-11# boxes…prices due vary.

30-44# boxes via UPS Freight est. $416.30 ETA 4 business days

130-11# boxes via UPS Freight est. $479.56 ETA 4 business days

What should we set as the cutoff date? I'm thinking Friday at midnight. Then hopefully people can paypal me during the weekend and I can order Monday or Tuesday.

Also, all of the splits need to be accounted for, meaning that they all have to be taken up. If after we close it out there are splits I will ask people who wants them before dropping them. If the splits cannot be "filled" then they will be dropped. Also, do not open up another split unless you're confidant that it will be "filled"; maybe talk to people about splitting stuff.

Damn I went from 26 lbs to 0.

id take a pound or 2

At a glance, it looks like many of the splits are not going to be filled by tomorrow and this whole thing will go belly up. I hope that's not the case!

 

[TheBreweryUnderground]

I say close earlier so we are more likely to get hops that may sell out, also to save my bank account from me thinking I need any more hops.

The problem is that people are opening up new splits instead of seeing what's already available. There are 3 Simcoe splits that are no where near to being filled. I wish people would ask on this thread on how to use the database if there not sure what's going on.

 

[BBBF]

Should we bring some bags for our own hops and some to share, and if so what type... or is a few bucks to "the baggers" sufficient?

I've been using these coffee bags for my home grown hops. They work great and you can use a vacuum cleaner to suck all the air out of the bag.

I think it would be helpful if the completed/filled splits were shown as such somewhere so we can get an idea of the total tally.

Can someone force combine the splits into one?

 

[Kieran]

I don't want to give Ghoti more work, but is there a way to add an ID number to splits or some other way to see if a split you are on is full or not? It seems there may be multiple Simcoe splits due to people dropping out of previously full splits.

 

[dbrewski]

Maybe we pick a cutoff point and then someone grabs the list, totals it up, and calls out where we're short. Then we can see if people are willing to finish up splits or not.

 

[bmason1623]

ok. the database has a link for a google docs link that shows who has ordered what, and a waiting list for hops contracts.

 

[bmason1623]

holy shnikes! we are already over $2000 in hops

 

[itrider]

Hmmm, I just looked at the google doc and my username is not in there. Who should I contact?

what did you order?

 

[itrider]

what did you order?

1 Cascade
2 Centennial
2 Zythos


It could be user error. I added them using the action, but I did not see a submit button. Did I miss something?

Related note, I just updated the database to pick up a few more pounds, so I assume the spreadsheet will be updated again today/tomorrow...hopefully the buy isn't closed just yet!

Also added an 11# split of GR Hallertau - maybe some people going for US Hallertau want to switch over?
