Hey CHAOS!
I'm fresh out of CO2 hop extract and was probably going to order another can soon since it's currently on sale:

I bought one about a year and a half ago and packaged it into syringes just like this dude shows here:

Scott also breaks down the costs (tl;dr: about 60% cheaper than individual hop shots).
I love this stuff because it is cheaper than actual hops and cuts down on kettle trub. A lot of the "big name" commercial IPAs and DIPAs use this same stuff to get their initial bittering charges.
The one downfall is that it is super sticky and hard to get off stuff if it gets anywhere.
Anyway, it took me way too long to go through it before (I mean, it doesn't really go bad unless it is stored warm, but just figured I'd try to share the love), so I'm wondering if anyone wants to go half in with me. $11 plus ~$2.50 shipping. I'll package it into syringes for you and you can owe me a homebrew or two for those parts and labor :)
I'm in!
If you're looking for more then one person then count me in otherwise I guess Jeff wins...
The emperor is not as forgiving as i am
Well that was quick! Cool!
I'll get it, split it up and see how much the can yields, and then we can decide if we want to split 3 ways. If it is anything like last time, it yields a decent amount, so a 3 way (huh huh huh) might work.
I'd be in for this too. If we did 2 cans split 4 ways that'd save shipping, right? Would it mess up your syringe scheme?
Just kegged my batch of Bertus Brewey Pilny the Elder 3.0 and am drinking the second pint now...

I'd have to buy more syringes and charge for those instead of being a nice guy. I'll see how cheap I can get them and give an estimate later in the day.
Kyle, if having four people in on this will make it more expensive and complicated, go ahead and exclude me.
wait, we should go the other direction! more people, more syringes, more savings, more hops!!
