splitting hops direct order in Baltimore

[balto charlie]

I am going to make a buy (soon) from Hops Direct. I would like to split pounds(whole hops not pellets) with another(preferably) local brewer. I hope to buy Amarillo, Centennial, Chinook, Goldings, Fuggles, Magnum and Northern Brewer. Subject to change. I'm looking to keep about 1/2 pound of each variety. Let me know if you are interested. PM me please. Charlie
PS I live westside Baltimore

 

[gabeweisz]

I'd be in for 1/2 pound of something with higher alpha.

 

[balto charlie]

Hey Do you only want a single 1/2 pound? I believe Magnum is the highest AA on my list. Where about do you live?

No one else?

 

[gabeweisz]

I live in Canton and work in Fell's Point. I also have a buddy that I work with who wants a few pounds of other stuff too, and I might be into 1/4 pound of something if we can make that happen. If nobody else chimes in within a few days I'll PM you to work it out. I have a foodsaver to help break stuff up.

 

[BigBeachMuscles]

I live in Southern Md and i'd be in for a lb of magnum.

 

[YarrMeBeer]

I live in Halethorpe, and I'd be in. Wouldn't mind going in on some cascade as well.

 

[balto charlie]

sounds good folks. Figure out what varieties and quantities you want. Cascade is doable. I guess amounts should be at least 1/4 lb or even better to keep it at 1/2lb for simplicity sakes.

I also have a vacuum sealer to keep it fresh.

Still interested??? We want to place this order soon...this week. Charlie

 

[gabeweisz]

Yeah - I'm just trying to nail down what by buddy wants to get - will let you know in a day or two.

 

[gabeweisz]

We want 1/2 lb amarillo, 1 lb cascade, 1/2 lb centennial, 1 lb magnum, 1/4 lb fuggle, and 1/4 lb golding. If the 1/4 pound hops will be a problem switch we'll cut out the goldings and take 1/2 lb fuggle instead of 1/4 lb.

 

[balto charlie]

Gabe: Got it, look for PM soon. Charlie

 

[claphamsa]

ill take a QP of amarillo...

 

[balto charlie]

I tried to place an order on 12/23 but found out that HD is closed until 1-4-10. This sucks as I was going to brew a lot during the Christmas break. I'll brew some lagers with the hops I have. I plan to order next weekend so they can ship early January. If this date is not good for anyone and you want out please let me know.
clap: I can put you down for QP of Amarillo

 

[claphamsa]

thanks!

do you need stuff for holiday brewing? I can probably hook u up!

 

[gabeweisz]

Should be fine for my buddy and I.

 

[balto charlie]

Hey Folks I ordered the hops. There was a problem with their order page and I could not order 2 lbs of Centennial. I was able to order 2 single pounds of it though. So that's what I did and made a note of it to HD. I'll PM everyone when the hops arrive.

claphamsa: Thanks for the offer of hops but seems life was too hectic over the holidays to brew. Hopefully this weekend to use up the rest of my current supply.

Charlie

PS- anyone else interested as we have an extra half pound of Centennial(if they ship 2) and quarter pound of Amarillo

 

[claphamsa]

I do not have a firm date yet. I work in Greenbelt if that helps you any

 

[claphamsa]

greenbelt is right near me

 

[BoogieBrandBooze]

Hey claphasma: If you would prefer not to take the extra Centennial and Amarillo jsut for the hell of it I'd be happy to. I'm going to be driving through Baltimore next Friday (1/15) and again the following Monday (1/18). I'd be happy to take them off balto charlie's hands if they're in by then.

 

[claphamsa]

[BoogieBrandBooze]

sweet.

Charlie: If they are in your hands by Monday, 1/18 let me know and we'll exchange info.

 

[balto charlie]

They are yours. I'll post up when I hear from HD. I gotta think I will have them by early next week. We'll see. Charlie

 

[BoogieBrandBooze]

Awesome. When you know the damage too feel free to PM me.

 

[balto charlie]

Just received email hops are on the way, shipment should be at my home on the 18th. I'm off that day and might be brewing.

 

[claphamsa]

bah! right after brewday.... and ill be home on the 18th having a palate of grain delivered to me

 

[BoogieBrandBooze]

Perfect. I'll be on my way home from VA that day, pretty much passing right through your town. Keep me posted...

 

[balto charlie]

Hey guys: Well tomorrow the hops should be delivered. I pm'd you guys my personal info. If tomorrow doesn't work for you then we can set up another time. I'll be home most of the day and hope to brew a batch. Hops Direct usually sends more than 1 pound per pound ordered. So if you ordered .5 lbs then you will get more than .5 lbs. It is usually 1-3 ounces heavy. I'll divide the shipping according to quantity ordered. Here's the pounds ordered with cost per pound. Shipping cost are still unknown.
Charlie Pat gabe clap boogie total cost/LB
Amarillo 0.5 0.5 0.5 0.25 0.25 2 13.5
cascade 0.5 0.5 1 2 11
centennial 0.5 0.5 0.5 0.5 2 13

PS Sorry, the excel file does not come across very well.

 

[claphamsa]

fwiw, i got 13 lbs of hops from them... and the total weight was 13.3 lbs. not a lot of extra, maybe only for leaf?
