New England Grain Buy January 2015

[crazyirishman34]

I would say do one SaniClean and one StarSan. I understand were you care coming from I have used both over my 20 years of brewing and I find both to work well. Have not had an infected batch using either. The issue is if you are using StarSan in an application that would create foam you end up with a huge mess.

 

[KiwiRob]

I'll be getting in too, just need to sort out what I want.

 

[Krazlikesbeer]

I would say that the Saniclean is just as good. And I have only seen the saniclean in all the breweries I have toured. I figure if it is good for their use, it is good for mine.

 

[KiwiRob]

I'm having trouble editing the form, would you put me down for one cm-2row and i'll complete the splits for bz-whet and bz-pils.

Thanks



Never-mind, Opened the document with a computer rather than my phone. Order added.

 

[Clankenbrew]

Don.. I fudged the sheet trying to put in a .25 split in the starsan column. Mind fixing that and putting it in my column?
Thanks dude

 

[Clankenbrew]

I fixed it.. Changed up my order a bit.

Welcome! Please ask any questions you may have prior to modifying the spreadsheet. It can be confusing if you have never done a group buy before, so sometimes best to make sure you are comfortable editing the worksheet

I think I'm set, but tell me if I messed something up! I'm trying to purchase one bag each of MO, 2 Row, and Pearl.

Thanks again!

 

[Baja_Brewer]

Finally tossed my order in for 4 bags.

 

[crazyirishman34]

Hey Guys and gals sorry for being out of touch. Looks like things are rocking along. We are getting close to 3 pallets. One issue we are going to have is the snow. So I would not expect the shipment before it does a good deal more melting.

 

[Luther]

Whoever tjmac is went in and oversubscribed a split of TF-PERL. Once a split goes to green, it's closed.

I opened a new split, and moved his/her half bag to that new split. So now there's a half bag still open. Heady clone anyone???

 

[crazyirishman34]

Also everyone don't forget that Aslander is receiving the grain and hosting the sort. At the bottom of the page donate to him.

 

[Jblair2261]

Hey everyone first time bulk buy for me. I have a few open splits, please see the sheet. Please let me know if I made any errors on the sheet.

You didnt make any errors that I noticed. I took the other half of your C60 split. A couple things to keep in mind about splits:

If no one else fills your split, the bag wont get ordered. So keep an eye on it when we are close to closing the buy.

Splitting the bags and weighing the grain is a lot of extra work so we usually require people with splits to show up early and help sort to offset the extra work for everyone.

Other than that, your order looks like a good mix!

 

[Jblair2261]

Thanks for the info aslander, I'll keep that in mind about the splits. I shouldn't have a problem getting there early.

 

[mbiskup]

Just entered my order for one bag of each: BZ-PILS, TF-MOPA, TF-PRL (TF-PERL), CW-2ROW, and BW-WHT (BZ-WHET). Let me know if there any issues. I am in column 'AM'.

Thanks again for setting this up.

 

[tellyho]

Can anyone tell me how big a 1/4 split of PBW is? Not sure how big a bucket I'll need for that. Thanks!

 

[BryngelBrau]

Bucket is 50 lbs

 

[crazyirishman34]

So a quarter split is 12.5 lbs. It will fit in a 2 gallon pail that you can get at home depot.

 

[Baja_Brewer]

Getting close....

 

[pshieronymus]

First time on the group buy. Thanks for the opportunity. I just entered 1 bag of CM-2ROW, and started a new split for TF-MOPA. Let me know if I have made any mistakes for my entries here. Cheers!

 

[63belair]

Someone edited my column on the sheet, not a big deal but make sure you check which column you're editing

 

[tellyho]

Thanks! I knew it'd be around 13 pounds, just didn't know how big those 13 pounds would be!

 

[Luther]

FYI - mbiskup and pshieronymus, I moved your order entries to earlier columns in the sheet, we had a few people drop out, and I wanted to fill in the empty spaces. Let me know if you see any problems.

 

[pshieronymus]

Thanks Luther. My order looks correctly moved.
For future group buy sheets should I populate first available "New Buyer" column, from the left to right? Thx.

Yep, everything seems to be in order. Thanks for the heads up.

 

[63belair]

13 sacks to go!

If this gets closed and is delivering the last weekend in March I may have to postpone my pickup- I'll be on work travel.

Just tossing that out it there in case that's an issue and I need to withdraw.

No need to withdraw. We won't know the pickup date until we have filled the order, collected all the payments, placed the order, scheduled the delivery, and then we can set a date for the pickup. If people have a conflict and cannot make a particular date, they can work with me to pick up the grain sometime reasonably soon after the pickup date.

Usually if you can't make the date, you can ask around this thread and someone else that lives near you can pick up your bags, that way you at least don't have to travel far to get them. Otherwise, I am more than willing to hang on to them, as long as it isn't for an incredibly long time (because then I may have to make beer with it )

The last grain buy, we only had a couple people that couldn't pick up their grain and couldn't find someone else to pick it up for them. The local HBT community is very helpful and generous.
