Pittsburgh/Western PA Group Buy - Round 3

[hop_head76]

Ok gentlemen the long awaited entry form to get the buy moving should have been shared with all of you this morning via the email address you provided to brewguyver. The form should look remarkably similar to the last two buys cause it's a copy. All of the new folks there are instruction in the file but if you have any issues that you can't figure out message the group on here or send me a PM.

Happy Grain Buying!

I shot you another invite - let me know if it is still a problem

Hops helped me out. Thanks guys!

So, I got the e-mail on 11/29 that says "I've shared an item with you." and it was for "pittsburgh group 3.2".

But when I log into Google Drive using the same e-mail, it says "You need permission to access this item." I went ahead and clicked "Request access", but seems to me like I should already have access if I got the e-mail in the first place.

hop_head, can you please take a look and see if I've somehow lost my permissions to this document?

Anyone else get the following message when you open the document?

It seems that I'm not able to enter any values into the spreadsheet.

Not sure if Im too late but I'd love to get into this buy. I was in on the first but missed the second for some reason. Now I'm dangerously low on 2-Row.

 

[sinisterkid]

I get that when I use the computers at work, they use Internet Explorer. I think it is Google wants you to use thier stuff where it works better., google chrome

Quick update:

As of now we're on to a second pallet - at 42 full sacks, 18 partial, with 5 folks yet to put in their orders. I'll post the list of partial sacks here and work with hophead on filling up pallet #2 as soon as everyone else is in.

 

[kpr121]

Email sent, thanks!

I will be in for 2 sacks of 2-row, a sack of MO, and Ill be checking out the splits.

 

[Yooper]

When's the probable delivery date? I'd be in, if it's when I'm in the area.

Not yet. Having some computer issues.

Can you put me down for the following:

6 sacks CM 2-Row
1 sack CM Munich
1 sack Briess Crystal 60

I'd appreciate it.

Thanks.

bja - Added you for the CM 2-Row and CM munich. Which Crystal 60 are you looking for - the 2-row or the regular?

Sorry about the confusion. I just looked at the sack I have now and it's Great Western, not Briess. I think Great Western only has one kind of C60. That's the one I want.

I won't have access to my email until Tuesday so I can't look at the price sheets.

Thanks again.

Hi Folks - We're officially closed on pallet 2 (and over by 2 sacks). I put the list to read only for the sake of simplicity.

We'll roll the incomplete splits onto a new sheet, to be filled in the next round (assuming folks still want them). That will open it up as soon as we get the first two pallets paid and ordered.

In the mean time, please double-check your orders. Hophead and I will get things adjusted and get final totals/"invoices" out in the next few days. I also need 2 sacks to move to group buy #4 - any volunteers?

 

[coyote68]

ok guys... i'll take one for the team. Please move my CM 2 row to the next round.
just need someone else to move one to the next round.

 

[brewguyver]

FYI - I'm going to be out of pocket from 7:30 AM- 6:00 PM this week. Apologies in advance if I don't get back in touch with someone until evening.

Thanks Coyote!

I can move one of my CM 2 row to the next round.

 

[brewguyver]

Thanks bja - that puts us at 2 full pallets.

All, I'll work on getting the final numbers tonight and tomorrow and will send out "invoices" as soon as that's done

 

[adamreef]

So, it looks like I missed another one. Are you starting from scratch with a new round or are we working on the sheet from the last round? I don't want to mess up the spreadsheet.

Also, can we order hops?

Thanks!

Start pulling your list together offline - I'm going to put out a list that starts with the open splits from this last one around Monday or Tuesday (12/13 or 12/14).

I'm up for doing hops, but we need someone with an industrial vacuum sealer. They only come in 11# or 44# bags. Also, the good ones are sold out for the year - we'd have to go long on a hops contract for Fall 2013 (or 2014 for the uber popular ones).

Another option is to get together and split an order to Hops Direct or another provider with good prices but bad shipping.

 

[PJM]

I would be interested in a couple bags of base grain on the next go-round. I'll keep an eye out.

 

[coyote68]

Here's a great place for hops. http://www.yakimavalleyhops.com/
the owner jeff is great to deal with and he may give us some deals. i got over 6 lbs of hops from him this year and most were around $8.oo/lb. shipping was $5.00 for 3 lbs.
we will need to break down the packages. i have found mylar bags fo around 7.00/100 that will hold an ounce or 2.. just thought this may be an option for us. oh and i have a snorkle vac. sealer that will seal the bags. it's not comercial but it works fine.

Sounds reasonable to me. All we'd need is a proper heat sealer (i've burned myself with enough irons to say i'm not a fan of sealing with one) and (potentially) a nitrogen tank if we want to flush the bags. I may be able to provide the nitrogen tank...been thinking of getting one for exactly this reason.

 

[adamreef]

Wow! Mylar bags, nitrogen flushing and industrial sealers. Look what I started!
