Re: [mba] 2012 Club Cider Buy

Alrighty folks, I finally got confirmation from the orchard yesterday that they can facilitate cider to be pressed a couple days in advance so we can have it distributed at Learn to Brew Day which will be hosted once again at Barley Johns on November 3rd. We will do our best to get there near the start of the event, but I'm going to avoid promising a time as things are known to come up. As it stands we will be getting 250 gallons and *should *be able to get another order in the following month (exact details pending based on apple supply). The price has been confirmed at ~$4.20 a gallon (please bring cash or check in addition to your sanitized 5 gallon bucket(s)). I have received a few offers of transportation but so I don't miss anyone I'm just going to query the club one more time. If you have a truck that can carry 1 ton of weight and would like to help out please send me an email, it is much appreciated. MOST IMPORTANT NOTE: This email is being sent to the whole club, *receiving this email does not mean that you have been allotted cider*. I will be sending out an additional email to those who signed up first, if anyone opts out or there is additional supply after the fact it will be available to anyone at Learn to Brew day, but don't get your hopes up. Obviously there has been even more excitement about cider this year than in prior years, so to reiterate; the orchard seemed relatively confident they could do another order of up to 250 gallons the following month, but they didn't want to commit for a few more weeks. I hope to know for certain by Learn to Brew day or very shortly thereafter. I will keep everyone in the loop. Cheers! Jonathan Beckel
