Hops Group Buy in Chicago #1

[Randar]

If you're looking to unload some of your pin locks, I just started kegging and only have one...plus I'm a grad student and can't afford the premium price to go with anything better. Would love to buy some from you if you're migrating away from them. PM me if you're interested!

Well, I'm not able to do that until I have a replacement in the pipeline. And for the price of the sixtels, I can't afford to GIVE them away. hehe.

Let's be mindful of hbt rules and remember that hbt group buys are for ingredients only. Thanks.

Very good. Do you happen to have an e-mail list of all previous buy participants in the area? You know, just in case we need to do an ingredient buy when the HBT servers are down?

yes. We (Chicago Home Brewers) have our own private "playground" within google groups that we can use. By the way, I can get us brand new 1/6 BBLs. If that is something anyone is interested in pursuing let me know via email.

Approximate price? That will determine if I'm interested or not.

about a hundred last time I inquired and that's if we get enough volume going.

 

[bmason1623]

ok, final pricing has been updated. please remit the amount in red fonts inside the yellow column. Some of you I owe money to. I will either paypal you or give you cash when you pick up.

 

[bmason1623]

The average price with shipping and packaging for this buy was $9.11/Lb. We did good. Special thanks to ghoti and Neopol for all of their help in running this.

 

[FourSeasonAngler]

Paid!

 

[bmason1623]

I just noticed that I messed up on the price of Columbus. I will reimburse everyone later on tonight. We are not talking much money, under $10 for most Sorry, looking at that spreadsheet makes me loopy.

I noticed the amount that I sent already and the amount you entered in my "paid amount" cell don't match. They are off by a few bucks. I want to make sure to get you the proper amount of cash for this buy so you aren't paying for a portion of my hops.

Someone here pointed out, if you select "for goods and services" it will deduct a percentage, but if you select the "personal" tab and use "money owed" it doesn't do it.

wish I had known that up front.

[EDIT] as long as you are transferring from your bank account the above is true.

 

[PseudoChef]

you're $0.99 short.

The spreadsheet says $3.27 and my paypal receipt is good for $3.27. Can you check again? ( I think you applied it to the person above me in the spreadsheet as you now have them listed at -$0.99)

Ok. When I get back I'll do it.

I think you're right. $3.27 is the amount mine is off. Problem solved

 

[wagz]

Just paid my balance due.

If Paypal sees this they may flag Bill's account. Sometimes these are rejected. Pay the fee and be a good neighbor.

I thought the issue was when you sent it as a gift. Technically, Bill is not selling anything, so "goods and services" doesn't seem appropriate either.

 

[sudsmcgee]

Payment owed is an appropriate choice, as it perfectly describes this situation. There is a fee when paying with a credit card with the payment owed option, so its not like were scamming PayPal. They choose to waive the fee for bank transfers.

 

[mkringii]

would this be open to your fellow brewers and neighbors to the north? and i mean michigan..lol if another buy is going to happen

cheers

 

[Neopol]

Why not I'll bring it as far as the IL/IN border.

 

[Demon]

Paid

 

[mkringii]

U mean transporting or jus to those people? Cuz im in grand rapids right next to founders!

I think neopol meant that he would bring it to the IL/IN border and you could pick up from there. I don't know when the next (strictly) hops buy will be but you're welcome to participate. The next group buy, that I run anyway, for grain will probably be in March or so.
