Title: Reserved Group Buy??
Post by: Buri on May 02, 2013, 02:42:58 PM
Hi
After a site upgrade I don't see reserved group buy topic anymore.
Is still there but hidden?

That section has become the member group buy section. As people become paid members (Being rolled out soon) they will gain access to that section.

I only have access to it as I am one of the reps for Capital Brewers but I will be paying my membership for access to it like anyone else.

There is nothing happening in there anyway! It's kind of dead at the moment until membership kicks in!

If you want to wet your appetite, have a look here (https://sugru.com/about) and start coming up with ideas.

I have had one hack (https://sugru.com/gallery/stop-a-a-table-clamp-from-damaging-the-table) accepted into their gallery so far. They have feic'n high standards for photo quality, my first few were rejected....

Members will get a 40% discount code for this stuff. Its only use once so I suggest spending some time to get an idea of what you want to use the stuff for and buy double what you think you will need as you will think of 20 more things once you have it! I'm going to really encourage users to take photos of what they have used it for and submit them to their gallery as I would like to be able to renew the agreement next year if we are successful.

For example here is my list which I keep adding to any time I think of stuff:

Want to Do:

Thermometers (Hook to hang it off side of mash tun/fermenter)
Under Toilet Seat
Sharon's Mobile Phone
Around Conical Flask(s)
Feet for brewing buckets/Boilers
Coating and protect rare earth magnets
Make a custom Electrical fitting
Sharons Charger
Correct grain distance separator for grain mill
Grain mill 'shield' for top part of mill

Laois:
Blocking hole in "Pot Lady" for putting in power cable
Fix leaks in Shed in Laois

Done:
Make soft clamp for grain mill (https://sugru.com/gallery/stop-a-a-table-clamp-from-damaging-the-table)
Make USB Key more robust
Add extra grip to back of mobile phone
Phone charger cable reinforcement
Feet for Stirplate
Headphone cable reinforcement

I plan to buy a load of the stuff to make the most of the discount code. The difference to a normal group buy is that because its a code you can use it when it suits. Point of note, its not food safe so you shouldn't be putting large amounts of it in direct contact with your beer.

That'll be handy when you are milling 32KG for the Barrel project!

Ta.

I don't mind membership to support the club once it's rolled out
I just don't want to miss out on great deals :-)

(and I need lots of stuff)
