The 3711 and 3724 were in the same batch?

 

[PseudoChef]

K, I'll pick it up for you. I'll be out at the Lombard skating rink from 11a - 12p for my daughter's lessons if you can make it there.

That is, if I can pick-up early enough on Saturday - might be a stretch with a rambunctious 8 yo.

Sorry guys, I'm totally not going to be able to make it tomorrow. No way I can make it to Bill's, pick up, and make it out to Lombard by 11 and make it to her soccer game afterward without driving her crazy. I'll pick up on Sunday and we can hopefully re-arrange for sometime during the week or next weekend.

 

[Doongie]

Hallertau and Zythos were not available.

Darn, was looking forward to the Hellertau.

I know this is the biggest buy EVAR, and it's not even done yet, but there was some rumbling earlier in the thread about a separate hops buy, is there any more thoughts about that? Where do I watch for something like that?

 

[mikescooling]

Those hop farmers are growing the 2013 crop now. So that crop needs to finish growing, then get dried, then gets sold to us. Last year November 20th was the day we needed to pay (deer hunting opener weekend). Aside from spot buys, their is contract too. I don't mean to talk out of turn, the higher ups can do a buy when ever they want.

Nope 3711 is washed slurry from 2 weeks primary of 1.05ish wort and 3724 is 50ml aliquote from the starter

 

[Neopol]

PseudoChef,
Do you still want that 1/8 breakbrite tabs? I haven't heard from you.

 

[mikescooling]

Hey Dave, if a 1/8th share of the breakbrite tabs opens up keep me on the list. Are you still bringing the horseradish cuttings? If their not all gone by the time I get there, will a wet zip lock bag get it home safe and moist?

I am sorry, I have no yeast to trade, but would love the 3724 if you can spare it. I love that yeast.

Sure i will bring tonight and leave at Bill's place for you. Its 50ml tube pulled from the starter so its not enough to pitch directly but you can use it to make 1-2L starter. I like the flavor profile of this strain but i dont think its any better than 3711 and its much harder to maintain so i dont use it to often, im doing high og saison, 5days primary with 3724 and then brett so i dont worry about stuck fermentation this time

Yes there is a tray here of horseradish starts take what you want..you don't need to worry about a wet zip lock, they are hardy...also I haven't heard one direction or the other from Pseudo, so I put both your names on the bag of tabs, the cost and my PayPal Addy..so first to it at this point

 

[ThirstT]

I sure have found enjoyment in this hobby, and it takes some work at times, but the work that the the guys and gals are putting in tonight to organize and prepare for the rest of us is amazing. Thanks for all the time and effort Split Crew! Thanks for the good brews too!!

 

[bmason1623]

I could use a couple of people to help finish the splits tomorrow. We are starting at 9 am. PM me if you're interested in helping. Thanks.

 

[starman]

[Polboy]

I am sorry, I have no yeast to trade, but would love the 3724 if you can spare it. I love that yeast.

I was trying to make it there today but I can't get there til about 5. I work in the morning tomorrow so could I come at about 6 or 7 tomorrow? Otherwise is anyone heading to the lombard area? it's just one sack of 2 row

 

[Looper]

I was planning on coming today between 5-6pm. Glad I saw that the doors were closing at 4 before I headed over there. I will be there tomorrow after my nephews christening around 3-4pm.

 

[cadwallion]

I will be there tomorrow around 10:30-11 to pick up.

 

[ArtimusBeerimus]

I'm happy to report that I've got all my Star San hand soap dispensers filled and strategically placed throughout the house after collecting my gallon jug (and the rest of my supplies) from Neopol earlier today.

These grain buys are great on so many levels. Glad to be able to participate...

Mad props to Bill and The Splitters for all the work getting everything together, ghoti for the great online tool, and Dave for coming through again in the clutch.

It's not my birthday but I feel like it is. So what if I bought all the presents...

 

[kingjeff89]

Just realized if I got my lazy bones out there around 10 I can make it to work after. See ya bright and early tomorrow

 

[bmason1623]

it was nice meeting the familiar faces today as well as the new faces. thanks for helping these group buys happen.

 

[bmason1623]

Also, the group buy helpers who make this happen are great. Ghoti, Neopol, starman and wagz just to mention a few. Thanks!

 

[Stephen_mc]

Thanks a million for setting up. Good to meet everyone and some great beers.

 

[KurtB]

It was great to put some faces to the usernames at the pickup this morning. Had a great time.

I haven't seen the question asked now that we are picking up. I don't think I ordered enough grain, when is the next group buy? Just kidding. I am not brewing that much right now and if I bring home much more grain I think my wife will make me sleep in the garage among the buckets.

Hopefully for the next buy I will have the entire day clear so I can stick around longer, help haul sacks of grain, shoot the ****, and drink more beer.

Bill, were you serious when you said you might start importing stainless coils for jockey boxes? The box you have is great, and finding a reasonably priced coil has been the one thing keeping me from building one.

 

[Moses3000]

Thanks to bill and the split crew, it was nice to meet you guys, sorry I couldn't stay longer.

I am looking into importing finished SS coils and will let people know once I get more information. Have I ever mentioned that a bed of grain sacks can be quite comfy?

 

[bmason1623]

I will be there tomorrow around 10:30-11 to pick up.

See you tomorrow
