Hops Group Buy in Chicago #1

[starman]

Even if the last 6 or 7 split boxes don't fill, that is still over 350lbs of hops this buy in essentially less than 4 days after opening. Crazy!

Would we ever get to a weight where shipping freight would make sense over UPS?

 

[bmason1623]

From the supplier:

Bill,

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.

For example:

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

I hope this helps, please note that UPS Ground is also 4 business days.

Maybe I missed it, but where are we getting the hops from? Sorry if this is a dumb question.

 

[bmason1623]

I think what I'm going to do is to have everyone pay initially just for the hops. Once they calculate shipping and they ship out I'll ask everyone to pay the shipping costs. Seems easier that way.

 

[RacingRam]

So if you place the order tonight, any idea when it'll arrive considering the upcoming holiday?

 

[Neopol]

Do they offer FOB freight, or a terminal drop. Might be 7-10 days tho.

 

[bmason1623]

I'll find out more on Monday.

This supplier is not some online store. They are a major hops supplier in the brewing industry.

 

[hot427cobra]

Took last pound of Columbus. All closed out. Yeah, I took one for the team

What am I thinking with buying 14 pounds of hops? I might be eating these things for lunch and dinner. Going to be brewing a lot of beer in the next few months. Let it snow. Who cares.....

Oh well.....great prices, how can you pass up a deal?

Thanks for everyone making this happen.

Don't get me wrong, I wasn't thinking it was an online order from Amazon or anything. I have lots of respect for what you're putting together for all of us. Just trying to plan my pickup since I'd be coming from Madison.

Didn't mean to come across as arrogant or anything; just commenting. I think it's important to note that we are getting prices on par with online hops suppliers or small breweries.

This is an amazing deal. Happy to pay and hope I have worthy beer to share with you when I pick up. Only have one batch bottled right now and it's taking forever to carb up.

I just want to say thank you to those who put tons of work into this buy.

Special kudos to bmason1623 and ghoti for their extra effort.

Always appreciated!

 

[kmarley]

Just reading all these posts is a lot of work let alone writing code and all the leg work. Thanks for making this happen

Also I would like to be added to the contract list. Thanks!

So should I pay with paypal today Bil, or do you need to get a final price first?

 

[bmason1623]

Go ahead and send your payments. I will adjust the shipping costs and any hops pricing that may be needed ounce I get the quote on Monday. I will note on the spreadsheet who has paid and their balance.

 

[RacingRam]

bmason, do we just send Paypal payment to your email address? Or is there something else we need to do?

Make sure and cover the 3% PayPal fee so Bill gets the whole amount due and don't gift, they'll lock his account and cancel Thanksgiving.

 

[bmason1623]

If you want to pay me either in cash or check PM me. Checks will slow everything down dramatically so keep that in mind.

Are partial boxes purged already? I cant tell but it kind of looks like some of the partial boxes ie Styrian goldings are still on.

 

[bmason1623]

Ghoti, dont purge anything just yet. i have a friend who wants hops and i'll add them under my order.

 

[ghoti]

We don't want people to pay until items are purged as they could have splits that will be removed

 

[bmason1623]

Good point. Sorry for jumping the gun.

 

[kalifornsky]

Can I be added to contract list?

 

[bmason1623]

I wanted to add a pound each of magnum snd tetnang but the splits are still wide open. Anybody else want to add to their order to help close out some of the splits?

 

[cyclogenesis]

For the folks who have HALLERTAU - US if we do not make the 44 pounds do you want the German version instead? It will be cheaper as the US is more expensive.

Yes. Thanks

Where do we find our totals?

 

[TheBreweryUnderground]

Bill, this spreadsheet:
don't post ?

Where do we find our totals?

Take the link down, prices are not supposed to be public. It should be the total net price (all the net prices added), but we're not supposed to pay just yet until they take off the hops splits that didn't get finished.

 

[bmason1623]

Do not post links in public!
