Huge thanks to bugman & sleepy. Jon, thanks for making the trip.

No more mini mashes. I just forced myself to build a mash tun!

Ok, I still have the grain for the following people:
Drizzle
Faith in Chaos
Scut Monkey

Everyone else has picked theirs up.

I am not rushing you guys, just an FYI.
Please e-mail me to set up pick up times, and I will email you my cell.

Anybody use any of the new grain yet???

Cool. I am looking forward to start using it. I brewed last weekend (a special bitter), but needed to use up some grain I had on hand before getting into the new stuff on the next brew.

Shoot, I thought I was subscribed to this. I sent you an email.

Big thanks to ScutMonkey for the Growler of stout and the bottles! It was really nice -my GF and I both really enjoyed it. It had a very dry stout-like flavor and finish.

Also, Scut Monkey and Drizzle - My buddy from the homebrew shop will be putting together a more in depth email about the Brew Grass Derby, May 7 in Hillsville, PA. I will send it out to you guys as soon as I get it. Hope to see you there! It is an AWESOME time.

Only ONE person left to pick up grain: FaithInChaos.
Sorry I couldn't meet you on Saturday afternoon. Let me know when you want to pick up.

I'm glad you liked it! I'm always looking for feedback on the quality. I guess I need to start entering some competitions for the feedback alone. It's funny that we traveled up there and dropped off beer for a fellow high school classmate. I guess it truly is a small world.

Thanks again for the info about the Brew Grass Derby. Michelle and I are definitely interested in going when you get more details.

Hello all, I would be interested in more info on the event in Hillsville too!

Here's a copy of Gregg's Email (owner of the Pumphouse Brew shop) This is a GREAT event, highly recommended!!!
Always fun.



NATIONAL HOMEBREW DAY

First of all it will be at the Johnson club in Hillsville, Pa again rain or shine
May 7th 2pm for public & anytime after 9am for brewers (for the brewers annual breakfast)
If your brewing don't forget your ingredients and equipment.

Things we could use - firewood, breakfast burrito ingredients, prizes (gift cert, beer related items, local business shirts etc.) for the brew club raffle.

I still need t-shirt pre order sizes if you haven't already sent it to me.

If you have never been to this event, here is the low down. If you would like to brew with us, we tally up the total gallons and send it in to the AHA website. If you just want to attend you will need a ticket (I will be getting some at the shop soon, also Vintage Estate and the Johnson club) and you can get in at 2pm. If you are brewing or bringing beer to enter in the homebrew comp, voted on buy ticket buyers - you will get in free. Tickets should be around $10
There will be entertainment and BBQ for sale. You may bring snacks and beverages.

We will have our annual Keg Toss for men and women, so practice up.

Thanks, Gregg

Hi. Any talks of another group buy? Please keep me posted as I would be interested and I have a brew buddy that may be interested as well.

I was also hoping for another group buy, my 2 row and pilsner malt could use some restocking.

I would also be interested in another group buy. Looking for Pils and 2-Row

I would definitely be in if another group buy was done.

If someone wants to set up another group buy, I could probably be convinced to get at least a couple more sacks.

I would definitely be in for 2, maybe 4 sacks!

I might be interested in a bulk buy. How much are we talking here?

Assuming someone wants to set it up, and we have enough for a pallet, The minimum would probably be one sack of grain, which is 50 or 55#.

I know I will not be ready for anymore grain for at least a couple months.

Sounds good to me. Count me in on the next round.

I am like sleepystevenson, it will be a few months before I am out.

sleepystevenson and bugman9317 did a great, great job organizing this last time, so I'm perfectly content to wait until they're ready to do it again.

Yeah... what Jon said.

I pretty much bought enough to get me through the year, but I'd probably get a sack or two just to maintain the stock pile.

I would be interested in the next group buy on grain and hops.

I'm in youngstown ohio, drive to pittsburgh all the time. i would be interested in a group buy. I'm also a member of the local brew club so i could see if they wanted anything.

I will express my interest in another group buy soon 3+ sacks....

Yeah I think I may have to bite the $50/sack bullet to get me through the next couple months until sleepy and bugman return.

Group buy still going on?

Hello,

I started a group grain buy thread for North East Ohio and realized I should have changed the name to include Western PA. If anyone from this thread wants in on some more grain shoot me a PM or visit the link below for the thread. We will be buying from Country Malt Group.

https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f174/north-east-ohio-group-grain-buy-259121/

So, I'm starting to get low...bugman and sleepysteven, how are your grain levels?

I'm far from out, but I am running out of Marris Otter and 2-Row, so I thought I'd check in.

Whenever you guys are ready to organize another bulk buy, count me in for at least five sacks, probably six.

Thanks again for all your hard work on the first one, I really appreciate it!

I've been through one whole bag of 2-row and about half a bag of pilsner at full LHBS prices. I'm going to have go on brewing strike until this group buy is started back up! Come on bugman and sleepy, get to brewing! JK (kinda).

I would be game for a couple sacks if another group buy gets started. Cheers!
