Syracuse, ny - round 6 group grain buy

[jbsengineer]

I'm going to need to buy some kegs soon. Just curious if the keg deal is still alive?

I've always wanted to try a Nugget Nectar clone. Do you have a recipe your following?

Not exactly. I just had a request from someone to make it and had done some very preliminary research where I discovered they use Vienna. Here's some current discussion: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f12/trogner-bros-talk-nugget-nectar-bn-257110/

Here's the Brew Network show (haven't listened to it yet): http://thebrewingnetwork.com/shows/764

Here's some discussion on a BYO version which had errors and someone from BYO posted corrections: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f12/oct-2011-byo-nugget-nectar-clone-og-doesnt-add-up-273597/

Given the 80% Vienna quote is dramatically different than the original article or the BYO article, it doesn't appear anyone has a true clone yet. But, I figure that if not exact, using the hop schedule but upping the Vienna % will result in a great tasting brew? I have a bit of time to think this one out as I have the SN Celebration in the keg (working on that at a pretty quick pace) and 5 gallons of Bell's Two Hearted in a primary, so I might defer this one or two brew sessions. On the other hand, it is due out (it is seasonal and they usually release about this time of year), and I would like to have my beer in hand to compare it to.

159 bags!

I'll be locking the sheet from editing when Cidah gives me the word, so get your last bags in asap. Any changes after that will have to be done by myself.

Just added 1 more TF-GPRM and 1 CM-WHET if its still OK

Weston, if you want to take my 1/3 sack of BZ-VIEN (Split 33), you are welcome to it. I'm concerned about the number of containers I will have to bring (from Albany). If you take my portion of that split, it lowers my container count by one. I already have Vienna at home (about 1/2 sack), and would either hold off (assuming we get our overall bag count) or add a full sack (if needed to push us over the top).

As an aside, if you like IPA's, my next batch is Troeg's Nugget Nectar which uses Vienna.

Edit: Troeg's link: http://www.troegs.com/our_brews/nugget_nectar.aspx

I guess that works - switch made.


Thanks!

Yep, thats fine. We can go up to about 168 items but do note that if we go over the limit of 4 pallets due to odd shapes of chemicals and flaked products the last items added onto the buy are the first ones to be removed. We are probably safe up to at least 164-166 items.

 

[CidahMastah]

I have one more guy working on adding in (hoptopia). Once we hear from him we will be able to close it.

My thought is, pending he is able to enter his order tonight... we will close it up tonight and I will put the order together and get it to the buyer tomorrow.

ENTER BAGS NOW OR FOREVER HOLD YOUR PEACE! ORDER WILL TENTATIVELY CLOSE TOMORROW AT 9a.m.

That is my thought as well. Worst case you might add a bag that has to get taken off.

Jeff, maybe keep track of every bag (who placed the order, and in what order) after we hit 160 bags. They will call me after I submit the order if we have any problems or substitutions that need to be made.

A proposal to Jeff and Cidah:

I would like to make sure that the special splits for Jeff and TwoGunz get supplied. If they get filled by donations, great. If not, I would be willing to buy (for myself) the remainder of the 2row split. I would take my portion, Jeff and TwoGunz would get the rest. That way, we ensure those bags get filled and included in the order. I'm not sure how to accomplish this with the spreadsheet....

Also, I think you should hold the close until tomorrow morning to allow anyone out there who didn't happen to see today's post yet a full overnight to see them and get their last requests in.... (I'm still trying to decide about that sack of Vienna.)

Edit: As an example, as of this moment the spreadsheet shows .8 for Jeff (split 32) and .4 for TwoGunz (split 35). So, that's 1.2 sacks, and I would take the last .8 sack to complete those splits. (Again, assuming no one else does a contribution.)

a couple notes - the special splits do not add to bag total; they add to help pay for the persons current grain. The special sack splits have no ceiling i.e. you can keep adding to those splits as your generosity lends itself. i.e. if jeff gets 1.6 bags, we will credit the dollar equivalent of 1.6 bags of 2ROW to his order (and the people who put in on the split will be charged that amount). Make sense?

In essence you are making a donation in bag split form to help "buy" the organizers 1 or more bags of 2row (or donating to their order).

So if you go in .1 split you will pay ~ $3.5 ($35/10 = $3.5) towards a bag or multiple bags of that person's "thanks for the effort" grain in their order.

regarding the order closing why don't we say 9am tomorrow Jeff will lock it up? I guess I thought closing it had midnight had a certain s*x appeal But truthfully I will be in bed!

Ah (as the light dawns). I guess I could have figured that out had I looked at the spreadsheet formulas. Thanks, my concern(s) have been alleviated.

9 am works for me! And yes the donation splits aren't actual bags but donations towards our bags buy moving effectively adding the cost to your tab and removing it from ours.

After I lock the sheet tomorrow, I will also remove open splits from the sheet as well to get final estimates.

losing my gourd. The tough part about getting PM's and posts about payments all day!

Ha! I had it narrowed down to you and one other person. Then I was like, it can't be paul, we are kicking back and forth on PM. But the other person didn't make sense.

Ha!

Damn this celebration clone for clouding my head

 

[jeffb418]

Hoptopia added 2 bags of CM-2ROW (Bags 160, 161)

I'm trying to make the same decision, but also afraid it won't all fit in my car!

 

[CidahMastah]

ok ignore the previous post about payments - I have it all reconciled.

Good stuff!

Jeez, who put you in charge of handling the cash? Lolz j/k, it's great you've spent so much time on this.

Soooo... what do we do if Cidah disappears to Mexico?

Haha JK!

 

[CidahMastah]

yeah no kidding! Without paypal and the way the order works it really makes it a challenge. Next time there will be more structure to how we collect payments. I already have some ideas in mind.

Don't worry though, once we get actuals I will post what you owe and what I have received side by side. I am far too cheap to lose even a penny of anyones money, let alone my own!

 

[CidahMastah]

I did enjoy cancun....

 

[jbsengineer]

Bordering on insane... but I just added another BZ-PILS, CM-2ROW, and TF-MOPA... A benefit of the "split" payment is that this order flies under the radar!
