South Jersey/Philly Group Buy... ROUND 21!

[OLDBREW]

the next move is to start ordering bulk yeast. 13 to 14 bucks for 2 smack packs is getting a little unreasonable

Or invest in yeast harvesting it's entirely too easy not to do it.

I got about 8 batches out of 1 tube of wlp380. (i could've gotten more, but im not sure how long it will be until my next hefe)

So 7$ / 8 = ~.88$ per batch

+ starter wort and time.

we used to take the culture right from the bottles then build the starters up from slants before you could get a lot of the strains commercially. You really need a "clean room" to do it right.
Nowdays I'm really getting lazy. I build a one step starter, then I'll wash the yeast and reuse it if its not from a high gravity brew.

I make starters for pretty much all of my beers anyway, so the only time would be the time it takes to wash the yeast. An extra hour added on to my transfer is fine by me. Plus its nice to have certain strains on hand.

I'm in Delran if that's any help.

I also won't be able to make the pickup on Friday night as I'll be camping with the Scouts. I won't be free until Sunday around noon. I'm in Delaware County, PA and would really appreciate it if someone could grab my two sacks and I'll get them from you Sunday.

 

[ferman]

I can hold grains for anyone if needed. I am in Williamstown.

 

[boswell]

Long story short, I JUST found out I am going to need heart surgery (im in the hospital now). Anyone hold my grain? Im in philly, but I can drive if need be. Best case scenario i'll be out in a week.

I could also sell it to someone if you need it and didn't get in this round. It is one sack of Marris Otter. I also asked for a little carapils. Either option works for me, needless to say, im not going to be brewing/drinking for a little bit.

AND ITS MY GOD DANG 34th BIRTHDAY TOMORROW TOO!

wanlord1............if you could that would be great...ill be in cinnaminson sat night around 6 till 10pm and im off sunday so i could get the bags from you anytime...thanks.....luke 856-465-8498

 

[boswell]

Jncoguy, that'd be awesome. I wasn't able to pay for my carapils split if you could cover it, I just need 5lbs or so. I'll throw you some dough for holding onto it for me, needless to say, this situation has me a little effed up, so any help is greatly appreciated.

Sorry to hear of you heart problems!

If you are going to be off your feet for a while as far as brewing wise? I can take the Maris Otter from you on this buy. If not and you need someone to hold the grain for you, I can do that too. I live in Cherry Hill area near the Mall.
Jeff could refund your money if you paid through paypal at no charge I think?
Let me know!

I'd rather not get involved in doing splits etc. But i'd be more than happy to pick up a sack for you and hold on to it until you are well enough to meet up. Sorry

 

[jessup]

if that carapils needs a home i'd gladly take it. anything i can do to help see ya'll tomoro

 

[boswell]

OLDBREW, its yours man. We can figure out details, I'm not going to be brewing for a little while because I won't be able to lift heavy stuff for a month or so (best case scenario).

Sorry to hear that! Best of luck to you!

Let me know how you want to handle the refund (paypal/cash).

 

[jnay]

xjncoguyx, I just tried sending you a PM but it says your inbox is full.

 

[boswell]

Lordura, you can just do it via paypal, hopefully I'm stil here and kicking for the next group buy. Put me on the pm list for the notification.

I'll square up with Jeff on the Bairds MO. I know what its like not being up and able to lift to brew!

I hope all goes well with your surgery, and that you're up and running in the near future.
Philly is home to some of the best surgeons and hospitals in the country/world, so it's really good that you live here, and not some small town in the sticks.

 

[boswell]

Thanks for the kind words, **** has me freaked out, but I'm just blessed they found problem I guess. 34 y/o and having effing heart surgery, but if I got this far with a faulty valve, I should be a monster when its fixed.

Thank YOU Jeff. You make these things so easy and enjoyable that I can't imagine what I would do without.

I brought some of my pumpkin beer for you tonight and totally forgot to give it to you. It's pretty good - cross between a pumpkin porter and a brown pumpkin. I will save you a bottle.
