South Jersey/Philly Group Buy... ROUND 11!

[lordura]

Round 11 is finalized, I guess?

VonMessa,

I always post in the previous thread right before I start another group buy. Since you've posted in this thread, you'll be subscribed and will receive an email when I post the info.

Currently I'm waiting on some payments to clear and then setting up delivery. I'm guessing round 12 will be started in 2 weeks?

Keep an eye out!

Jeff

 

[VonMessa]

Almost finished my mill station.

Counting the days :rockin:

 

[VonMessa]

Also, I understand that no hops were purchased this round, but are they ever? I'd be willing to buy a few pounds.

Same goes for chemicals, etc (Star San, PBW)

My brew ma-chine could use a good cleaning and the local HBS is quite pricey with just about everything.

 

[lordura]

The reason i don't order hops is because the pricing in the sales book is not accurate for hops. The hops are $20+ per pound. Hopsdirect.com is where you want to go if you need bulk hops.

VonMessa - I have been organizing group hop buys about every other month. We go through a farm out west with great prices. Because we always order a minimum or 20 pounds, we get a break on the shipping costs. Post a message in the last group buy and you will be notified when we start Round 5.

Thanks, guys.

Glad I get email reminders or I would have never known it was moved here. Sooo glad for these group buys. Can't imagine when we get to our 100th group buy.

Anyway...

Man, OLDBREW, you are quite the salesman. You've got me thinking about another quart. LOL - just kidding. I don't know what I am going to use the first one for yet.

 

[OLDBREW]

Come to the Belgians Dark Strong Ale side Luke. Check out books like "Brew like a Monk" or "Beer Captured", then convert the syrup with some of those recipes to get you started.

Yes, my box was full.

I'll go in on on the syrup if it is in the next buy.

I'm also interested in rice hulls if they are on the list. I brew with wheat a lot.

 

[lordura]

I should have an update today about a scheduled delivery date. I'll post as soon as I hear back.

 

[OLDBREW]

If you do a dubbel it will be ready sooner then if you go big on the dark strong ale side.

I recommend starting with adding a half cup or so toward the end of the boil when doing a dubbel, then tasting for flavor and eying the color. You can also mix table sugar with the recipes along with this syrup.

pils, aromatic, munich, special b, home toasted pale malt, all work

OLDBREW is right, I have tried. While you can make a nice syrup... its nothing like D1, D2, or D3.

I know OLDBREW has suggested going with 1/4 cup in the boil and then tasting but I was wondering about adding it at High Krausen. I've pretty much come to the conclusion that adding anything like fruit or honey (pasteurized of course) works much better when added this way than at any time during the boil. any thoughts?

 

[ryan0914]

OLDBREW of there are any open spots for the D2 I'll take one. Can you message the details.
Thanks
-Ryan

 

[OLDBREW]

Ryan0914,
I now have you down for 2 quarts from your pm sir

you could contact them directly and see what they think/say about in the fermenter.

1/2 cup is what I recommended for a dubbels starting point.

I have used it at the end of the boil with excellent results. Never tried after the boiler

 

[OLDBREW]

well.. one more time

I got word from NCM that the order will ship out Thurs(13)/Friday(14) of this coming week. That will put our pickup on Wednesday/Thursday of the following week. I'll have a more definite day and time Monday morning. Get ready!

 

[chrisdb]

I don't think so either... I whipped up a couple quarts last night- one dark and one amber. It's "interesting" ... I taste the Lactic acid as round an a little tart behind the sweet. Maybe I'll try again with fresh lemon juice as the acid component, but obviously still a work in progress for me -maybe useful but not quite belgian candi syrup.

In the meantime maybe I could take 2 quarts instead of one if it is available?
