I don't want you all to think I dropped the ball on this. the buy will be starting as soon as I get a responce back from North Country Malt about some new pricing since the last buy. As soon as I get the e-mail, I will be firing this thing off. Our pick up location is going to be Weak Knee Homebrew Supply in Pottstown. I will post an address and all the other goodies as soon as it's officially started. Thanks!
Tom
 
Have you talked to weak knee. They where trying to stop people from group buys and are offering cheaper prices for bulk grains.
 
Talked to Weak Knee and everything is a go there. According to the last Philly buy, there were some price changes. I just want to verify with NCM before I kck this thing off. No responce from them today. If I get a chance tomorrow, I will try to give them a call.
Tom
 
Okay, so NCM isn't getting back to me and we're so busy at my work that I'm not going to have time to call them at the moment. So, I'm going to start this thing with the price sheet I have below. If there is something that needs to be changed, we'll just handle it as the buy goes on. As mentioned above, pick up is going to be at Weak Knee Homebrew in Pottstown PA. Pick up date is TBA. Most of you have been involved in these buys before, but for those who haven't, here is how it works. Look over the catalog and pick out the grains you want. WE ARE ONLY BUYING GRAINS! At the top of the price sheet it will say if the grains come in 50 or 55# sacks. We are going to be in the 2,000-4,000# price bracket. Post what you want in this thread and I will start a list. We need 42 sacks to fill one pallet. When the pallet(s) are full, I will ask you all to confirm your orders. When everything is confirmed, I will send out PM's with your totals. PayPal is the fastest and preferred method to pay, but I will also take personal check or money order as long as they are sent out within 48 hours of getting your total. When all the money is recieved, the order will be placed and shipped. We will set up a pickup time "window" when the delivery date gets closer. I would like to try and get everyones phone numbers this time around. it will make my life a bit easier when it come to payment and pickup times. If you can, PM it to me and also let me kow if I can text you at that number. Let the games begin!

Count me in for

2x - CM-2ROW.

If anybody is interested, I'd like to get 1/4 or 1/3 sack (depending on potential demand from others :) ) of BD-VIEN

Thanks again for setting this up!
 
Would anyone be interested in ordering some gamma seals. Think they cheaper in large packs. I think I need like 8.
 
Okay I just typed all the orders in and updated the whole thing and my $%$@^@$# computer/internet/something screwed up when trying to save it and erased it all in the process. I have all the orders written down and we're doing good so far. It's all but 12:30 and I have an early morning, so I'm not re-typing it all tonight. I think we were sitting at 24 sacks. Partials that are available right now would be: CM-WHET x1/2, BD-VIEN x1/3, GZ
W-C30 x1/2, GW-C75 x1/2, BD-RSTB x1/2

Where is the pickup spot? I live about an hour from allentown, but the other places in the title I have no idea where they are and am too lazy to google it :cross:

Nice, just in time for Scotch Ale brewing season and my first ever group buy:

CM-2ROW
TF-GPRM
BD-MOPA

Since Weak Knee is my LHBS (and they're great people), I hope they're getting something out of this. Maybe I'll order my Barley Crusher through them as a thank you.
 
Would anyone be interested in ordering some gamma seals. Think they cheaper in large packs. I think I need like 8.

Mike, if you can find a bulk order site (Baytech?), I'd grab at least 6 myself. Would you get the buckets from there as well or do you just do HD/Lowes?
 
Jack,
Looks like a pallet is where the big price breaks happen. A 24 pack does reduce the price by about 50 cents each. I will just use homedepot or lowes buckets. They are like 2.50. I actually got a few free buckets from grocery store bakerys. Just ask for any icing buckets they are going to throw out when you go.

You better order that mill or I guess mine will be making trips to your house :)
 
later than I planned but I have a list...

2x CM-2ROW
2x CM-6ROW
1x BD-DCRL
1x BD-CHLT
1x BD-BLCK
1x GP-FLCRN

8 sacks total.
 
CM-2ROW x 2
1/4 - GW-C60
1/4 - GW-C20

If 1/4 sacks aren't available let me know. Thanks again for doing this!
 
servadia and wadefisher- if you guys can get the same roasts of caramel, we'd only need a 1/4 sack to fill it.
