SYRACUSE NY - ROUND 3 Group Grain Buy

[BrewDiver]

Not sure if we will make it this week on the grain buy though. Absolutely no chance if all the payments aren't "instant".

PLEASE NOTE:

It would be greatly appreciated if you could try to check HBT at least once a day from now until you hear more information about payment. This will expedite the order. Once the payment is in it usually takes 2-4 days for the order to arrive.

Re: paypal..... if the final cost is more than the pp balance, is a credit card payment available on pp? Im not too familiar w/ pp.

 

[jhenderson27]

Yes. Make sure your card is added to the accout to make an instant transfer.

Re: paypal..... if the final cost is more than the pp balance, is a credit card payment available on pp? Im not too familiar w/ pp.

If the final cost is more than the balance, than it will take 3-5 days to transfer.... UNLESS - you set up your paypal account to be bakced up by a credit card. It won't charge your credit card - it WILL make your payment instant. If your checking account falls short (i.e. your checking account has a $0 balnace) of the amount requested, it will charge your credit card the difference. Otherwise it will process with your checking account in 3-5 days - but your money transfer is still instant

Make sense?

i.e. put a credit card on your account as the back up and you will have instant money transfers

 

[CidahMastah]

How to add a credit card on your paypal for instant transfers (still paying through your checking account):

1. Log in
2. Click on profile - add or edit credit card from drop down menu
3. Choose add and put in a credit card

This will NEVER charge your credit card, unless your transfer is denied by your bank. i.e. your checking account has a o$ balance.

So if we dont get this buy going and the 6er switch im gonna be drinking your guys beers soon. The red ale is tasty. The IPA like i said is a wonderful bitch slap of hops and the stouts are yum.

im bottling my smoked rye ipa this weekend (1st run so comments from this would be grand) but this might give me enough time to get my six pack together for you guys! this one ill give you but just would need to sit for 2-3 weeks to carb-up. right now i have 4 almost ready to go.. (well i have 3 in the carboys fermenting and 3 in kegs)

btw, how exactly are we doing this, meet up all on the same day about the same time?

did we get the final numbers yet? for this buy

Sounds great.

Check post 261 for the final numbers - request for quote is in - we are waiting on NCM for a response.

Good point about the swap - we would have to be in the same place at the same time to pass it all out. I guess when the payment is in and we know when the grain is being delivered, we can set a day and time for everyone to meet for pick up, and brew/yeast swap. So it is jhenderson rust stunsm and me on this one - Stunsm is working out some yeast swaps.

sounds great, im not in a huge rush to get my grain.. more or less the kegs, in about 2 weeks. im typically down for any day, but the 20th of may. i have gradimication that day.. again :/....

right now, saying that this swap is in about 2 weeks.

~dogfishhead 60 min
~smoked rye ipa
~brown ale (much like victory's nut brown, but a little different)
~ed worts pale ale (haus ale)

cidah, im going to give you as we discussed along time ago:
my very last bee cave heffe, and the bomber of my "arrogant bastard"

That sounds fantastic all around to me.

For you gents I think I have:

1. obsidian stout
2. Wruht 56 Porter
3. Blood Orange Hefe
4. Moose Drool (american brown)
5. Amarillo IPA
6. Pale Ale


And Rust - you are getting a bomber of my arrogant - as we discussed.

 

[rustbucket]

the only question i have for you guys, do you want more than one of the ones i can offer, to fill the voids in the six pack or are you ok with only receiving 4 brews?, and if so you that you want a double, just let me know off my list which one(s) you want doubles of.

cidah, im really looking forward to that amarillo ipa!!!, and obsidian stout!

how about you double up - that way it is an even steven swap. You know I of course would be interested in getting doubles of an IPA maybe dogfish, but let me know what works for you.

In actuality, you and I will do a sixer, plus a bomber. It will work out great - I plan on doing a tasting day for A.B. I have an extract version I saved, my all grain and your all grain. I will grab an arrogant from the store and line them all up. I know they will all be good beers, but I want to know how far off my memory is with the true AB flavor. So far the closest clone in my taste memory was the extract one, AHS clone.

so:
2 dogfishhead 60 min
1 smoked rye ipa
1 brown ale (much like victory's nut brown, but a little different)
1 ed worts pale ale (haus ale)[/B]
1 ed worts heffe
1 bomber arrogant

 

[jhenderson27]

Id take a double of dfh60 and edworts pale.

You guys are getting:
(2) Madagascar Burbon Vanilla Bean Porter 8.75%
(1) Rotten Crotch Light Ale
(1) Firebush Red Ale
(1) Torpedo IPA
(1) Cocoa Stout

All the beers look awesome from both you guys - can't wait.

I am between two belgian wits jhenderson - did you pick your recipe yet. I am either going biermunchers or AHS's blue moon clone. People have been raving about the AHS clone as well. Right now I am trying to decide which one I will try first.

 

[jhenderson27]

Im doing BM's Blue Moon clone for the gf. I figure it can only get me the elusive extra special super bonus sex!

 

[CidahMastah]

Haha - well isn't that why we brew for them?

I like blue moon and all, just not my favorite beer ever. Good with an orange wedge on a hot day.

 

[jhenderson27]

Partially, also when she gets drunk she passes out and i can play video games quietly and uninterupted

 

[rustbucket]

sounds awesome, i guess i have some drinking to do.. hahaha, but yeah, i can def bottle 2 of eah of those. the DFH 60 is force carbing now, and dry being dry hopped, so it will be ready (should be) this weekend and def by next.

jhenderson, i hope your happy with sam adams bottles, its all i have right now.. but if you want the plain jane bottles, i could dig them up somewhere.

Cidah, i was thinking of the same thing for the taste test, i picked one up, altho mine does not taste anything like it.. it def is a good brew, very interesting.

 

[CidahMastah]

update

Just heard back from our buyer. Looks like the invoice will be sent over tomorrow, and the order will ship Thursday IF all payments are submitted and cleared.

From previous experience there is a 3 day lag from shipment time. i.e. if it ships Thursday, I would expect I will receive it Monday.

There is a small chance we could get it in this Friday; but the only chance of that would be if we were all paid up very early tomorrow a.m.

Keep an eye out - I will be posting your totals as soon as I receive the invoice.

 

[jhenderson27]

Idc as long as they are.decent bottles im fine. Mine are all plain janes with a random sam or sierra snuck in

Yeah mine too - I think the amarillo IPA is in a new bottle, but the rest are PBW cleaned and then sanitized before use. Some not so pretty, others not bad.

eh... I spend my coin on beer equip and ingred. instead

 

[jhenderson27]

I clean, delabel, deglue and then pressure clean then spray iadophor and use.

 

[TwoGunz]

I unfortunately won't have any homebrew ready. I've got 2 batches ready to bottle but don't think my schedule is going to allow it yet. I'd have liked to have tipped you (cidah) with one... Maybe next time

 

[CidahMastah]

just the same appreciate the thought twogunz!

 

[jhenderson27]

Anyone got like 5-10lbs rice hulls theyd be willing to sell or trade or w/e

 

[rustbucket]

i do i do i do!!!! i have so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that i will never use!

i would like to trade you for c120 if that is ok, like 1 1/2 - 2lbs, and ill give you 7-10 lbs for that?

if you dont want to do that, let me know what you would like to do, im more than willing to get rid of 10lbs of those, you can only use so much... plus they suck of a TON of wort in the mashtun... make sure you soak them before hand, i made the mistake of forgetting to get them ready and, out of 4 gallons, i got just under two on my first runnings, this was a 10lbs mash.

 

[jhenderson27]

I'll give you 2 pounds for that

 

[CidahMastah]

doh! yeah I soaked mine before hand in warm water for about an hour while I was hauling out the brew equipment. I was a little low on volume from first runnings, but nothing like what you described!

 

[jhenderson27]

Awfully quiet here the last 24 hours. Kinda scarry. So any quote yet?

 

[CidahMastah]

Nope not yet - yeah I think that we got behind in line when we didn't wrap this up Friday, then we were delayed with smashing dropping his order so we were slow out of the gate.

Will let you know as soon as I know the pricing - but my wit looks like it is delayed until next week at least Can't see us getting this order in by Friday.

 

[jhenderson27]

Me neither.

 

[rustbucket]

not a big deal for me... im not in a rush to get the stuff i need, plus more time for me to get brews ready for our exchange.
