This is the group buy thread for the Denver/Front Range group buy from www.coloradomaltingcompany.com.
The price break is at 1000 lbs. No further breaks are available. As an FYI the 5000 lb break is for commercial operations.
The price for all malted barley is 75 cents per lb or $37.50 per 50 lb sack.
The price for all malted wheat is 85 cents per lb or $42.50 per 50 lb sack.
Unmalted grain prices are now in the spreadsheet.
Shipping is a flat $150 to the Denver Metro area.
We can plan to have them deliver to my house again. This will allow for people to pick up their grain at their leisure. I work from home so scheduling pick up times should be easy.
Jason indicated they can do a special Belgian style malt in the 3-4 Lovibond range if there is enough interest. They malt in batches of 4000lbs but he said if we can come up with greater than 500 lbs he is confident he can sell the rest.
Currently they don't have any pilsner or white wheat due to demand and back orders. He believes that by October they should be caught up and will have some for us.
After discussion about payment we agreed that it made more sense for one person to collect payment and give them one check. I am willing to collect the money and write the check. We can also open an escrow account but I don't know if there is a fee for this or how the logistics work. Suggestions how to handle payment are welcome.
A mid October delivery will give us plenty of time to get everything in order and should also allow for the pilsner and white wheat malts to be available.
If people don't want a full sack I am willing to split them up for people at the house but we will need to make sure the orders total 50 lbs. The last of the grain that doesn't total 50 lbs will be dropped from the order.
Here is the link to this round's spreadsheet.

Well, I can't think of anything else. As I get updates I will edit this post so check back.
