[bnmir]

I was about to add to the order but I'm going to be out of town 2 weekends this month. If you closeout this week when would you guess pickup will be?

I was about to add to the order but I'm going to be out of town 2 weekends this month. If you closeout this week when would you guess pickup will be?

If I close this week then we're probably looking at the 26th for pickup. That's assuming it takes a week to get payments together and a week for shipping.

At this point there are 32 slots left on the 2nd pallet - hose will get pushed to group buy 5 (mid feb) unless a bunch more people jump on.

 

[brewguyver]

Hi All,

I'll be closing buy #4 tomorrow using the order on the 1st pallet as of 12/17. Since some of you may have changed since then, I'll be sending out the final to confirm. I'll try and squeeze people in if there changes put us below a full pallet.

The remaining 10 sacks and 15 open splits will roll to Group Buy 5 which will open between Jan 26th and Feb 1st.

Thanks again for everyone's participation!

 

[brewguyver]

We are now Closed



I'll get the draft invoices out to everyone by Friday (1/11). I'll send a note to get availability along with the invoices.

Please review once you get them.

Thanks!

 

[PJM]

Thanks for being all over this.

 

[coyote68]

awsome job! we should have the hop buy final info out soon also.

 

[brewguyver]

We've distributed the hops invoices and I'm working on getting the grain verified for tomorrow (all are created). We'll send them out as soon as we verify final shipping and prices with the distributer.

 

[brewguyver]

Hi Folks - the invoices are out, Paypal requests are sent, and the folks paying by money order should have the mailing address. If we get payments in by Friday, we should be able to get the pallet in by the end of next week (now that the delivery truck sizing has been worked out )

There may have been some accidental roll-overs from group buy 3 - I'm going to keep those splits and will post the contents as up for grabs if I hear back that there were errors.

Looking forward to another group buy event!

 

[coyote68]

Payment for the grain and hop buys sent.
thank you!!

 

[fredtheseal]

Payment sent. Still impressed by the level of dedication given to these group buys, especially the hop buy (even though I wasn't part of it).

 

[hop_head76]

Payment has been sent! Can't wait to pick up all the goodies! Many exciting brew days on the horizon.

I agree these buys have went very smoothly and everyone has been very great to work with! Lets keep it rolling.

 

[PJM]

Paid. Thanks guys.

 

[TheHunk]

Paypal paid. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. Looking forward to pick-up day.

 

[faithinchaos]

paid. thanks for orgazing!

 

[brewguyver]

Almost all the payments are in - only three PayPal payments left! I'll also check on the checks when I get home from work tonight.

 

[brewguyver]

OK folks - I'll send out an email tomorrow, but posting on here first (I'm lazy ).

If you have the choice between doing pick-up on Saturday 1/26 or Saturday 2/2, which would you prefer? I'm planning to put the grain order in for Monday, so it *should* be here by next Friday. However, the Group Buy #3 guys know how that worked out (hint: it didn't).

So all things being equal I'd recommend 2/2, but I'm up for either depending on everyone's availability. Let me know!

Thanks,
Kyle

Either is fine for me as long as I can pick up in the morning. 8-9 ish.

 

[swackattack]

Whatever is easier for u

 

[faithinchaos]

i'm good anytime.

 

[jags0401]

Either day works for me.

My nephews 1st birthday is on the 2nd and we're tapping a Wee Heavy I brewed the day he was born.

 

[coyote68]

well folks,
yakima valley hops shipped the hops to brewguyver instead of me even though i clarified it with them several times. so that puts a wrench in things. i prefer the 2/2 date as i don't have to work that day. maybe i can get there early to break the hops down then. i'm close to 50 miles away from brewguyver.

 

[PJM]

2/2/13 works for me

 

[brewguyver]

My nephews 1st birthday is on the 2nd and we're tapping a Wee Heavy I brewed the day he was born.

That's a good reason not to come down on 2/2. I hope to have the grain by Friday, so if you can come to Pittsburgh on Friday night/Saturday morning then I can get you your grain. You'll have to help me weigh out your splits though.

 

[brewguyver]

All - the "official" date for the pickup will be Saturday February 2nd. Look for an official invite to come out tomorrow.

Also, I just confirmed that we can use The Brew House's gallery space again to do some tailgating, beer swapping, etc. I'll have a Pliney the Younger clone that *should* be ready then, a bottle of lacto infected dogfish punkin' (it was good last time I tried it ...) and maybe a growler of something random.

Hanging out not required, but it's definitely an option

GREAT experience! Thanks for all the hard work brewguyver and Coyoye68. I hope everything turned out well and as mentioned I will look into the other hop supplier.


P.S. Kyle thanks for the bags and scale for the splits. I will be better organized next time.

Dont forget hophead - he figured out all the invoices (and brought the get out of jail free Nelson Sauvin beers). Looking forward to it being warmer and doing an actual group brew!

 

[swackattack]

Thanks to all who helped. Went great

 

[TheHunk]

Those who work behind the scenes never get the credit they deserve. Thanks hophead!
