Group Buy in Chicago #8

Neopol said:

Any one interested in 1/4 or 1/8 of the break bright tabs... I'm gonna grab a 2.2 lb order, well split it by weight.

I'd go for an eighth. I'd take 1/4 if it were necessary to closes split.

Dave I'll go for some. You could always just put a bunch of baggies with some and sell a few bucks a bag during pick up.

I just have to share with the whole world. My Billsner Urquell...

Looks beautiful...

could probably use a little more bittering hops but not too much. I used straight Saaz. I taste the slight graininess of the pilsen malt. I like it. just needs to be a little more carbed; it's only been about 8 days or so. I'll try to have some on tap during the pickup

If you really want to share come on out to my place with a sixer

buy grain in what could be the last grain buy for a while. then you will have a reason to come over to pick up your grain and try my swill.

there are already 47 people on the list. my apologies for overlooking you. however, you might want to order more than 2 sacks...

your pale ale was good by the way.

I opened up a split for Briess Crystal 40. Please don't leave me hanging!

I still have the 2 sacks i got at the last buy. i only get the opportunity to brew 5 gals once ever 3 to 4 weeks so this could last me well over a year but you better believe I'm going to give it my best shot at using this stuff up. when i come by the next time i'll bring you something special from founder's that just got released

this looks tasty and its very clear, do you use gelatin or it clears like that after only 8 days?

Nothing but water, malt, hops and yeast. German purity law!

I am having problems adding P.B.W. (8#). Tried chrome and ie on the laptop and safari on the ipad. It finds it in the search, but does not show up when I add it.

Hi! I signed up; please approve when you have the opportunity. Cheers,

Ed

Oh my, I've only used 15lbs from the last group buy.

pbw 8 lb is still being a little shy and not adding. the 50 lb adds just fine.

I signed up please approve can't wait to see what I might find

Scotty I concur there is something buggy going on, particularly it looks to me if it was an item you tried to order before.. I have a similar issue I cannot order as 1 lb, but I can order a 5 lb of a spice.

I added more people to the database this morning

Hey all, it hasn't been too long, but it's good to be hearing from you all again. I'd like to pose a PBW question that peaked my curiousilty on the last buy. It was mentioned that PBW is just a simple 70/30 mixture of this and that. My brewing buddy says that we are not needing to purchase PBW now because he can make it comfortably. So, for those of you who already are making your own, could you share the ease of creating, or lack there of , that you have experienced so that I know whether or not to pick some up here while I can? Thanks

I'm glad that Neo listed something about his purchase, because I was troling and saw his order yesterday and was grinning. You are a brewing animal, Irish family or not!

Terry, there are some great threads right here on hbt about that exact topic.. Its oxyclean and the new safe red devil trisodium phosphate. And many that swear its exact down to basic chemical composition.

I have a pail of both, as I get tired of cleaning that white residue just oxyclean leaves behind, its easy with a little starsan on a paper towel but annoying nonetheless. Once my smoked ported is done chugging away, I plan to test it out..

Thanks Dave, I figured that I would be checking out other threads, but there's something about hearing it from those more familiar. I appreciate your feedback. If it can be done at your scale of brewing, I'm thinking that we can get away with it. I'll still search through HBT to be more educated on the subject. Thanks!

Its not scale so much as often and fermenters, I'm only a 20 gal setup, so the big volume brews have to be a concentrated wort...which has its own difficulties in a hop saturation etc. Conversation for another day.
