Ok, time for another group grain buy. I'll edit this post with a summary of the status as we go along. I've PM'd and emailed stevebuscemi who coordinated the last one to see which Country Malt Group site he worked with and how he got an account. I'll call the Country Malt Group to setup an account in the next two days. I'll post here if there are any issues.

Price Sheet (from Hickory, NC - I think this is where it came from last time)

1/20: Updated based on comments. Still need to work on getting the account. I had to work late Friday and didn't get a chance to call.
1/24: Updated again. There are currently 4 extra bags and still some people that haven't replied to confirm. I'm still working on the account, but haven't had much time to get it done with work the last couple of days.
2/1: Updated... 14 bags on the second pallet. Still a ways to go but we've made some progress.
 
Thanks, schaez! I'm ok with splitting the Munich sack with javabrewer.

@javabrewer, what Maltster do you prefer?
 
I'm in. I'd like:
4 ea HB Marris Otter
2 ea Gambrinus Pilsner
2 ea domestic 2 row
2 ea Gambrinus Munich
I'd also be interested in splitting a sack of British crystal 60-80 if anyone else is game.

Thanks for doing this!

Welcome to HBT!
 
Updated above.

Luap, you got us closer to a full pallet. I'll split a bag of crystal. Just let me know what type of crystal and 2-row.

I'd like HBaird's "dark crystal" 70-80, Briess 2-row "brewer's malt", and the light Gambrinus Munich

Thanks again, Luap

@javabrewer, what Maltster do you prefer?

No preference, really. But since I'm going to ask for CMC for 2-row then why not go with them...

Also, for my crystal 40 bag split, I'd rather go 3 ways on one of those.

Edit: schaez, no preference either regarding the crystal 40

I'd be interested in a third if a sack of H Baird's carastan 40 if you guys are willing to substitute that for crystal (see the notes on Baird's page).
 
I am in:
1x BD‐MOPA ; Maris Otter
1x BD‐MUNH ; Munich

*willing to split if anyone is interested
 
So my order will be:

Whole Sack:
1x CM-PALE
1x BZ-PILS

Split with javabrewer:
1x CM-MUNH




Does anyone want to split a bag of wheat (CM-WHET = $28.60/sack)?
 
Few other things I didn't say in my email:
Though you could figure out by calling that number I gave you I believe it was shipped out of NC like you have. To set up the account I think you have to talk to their head office in New York.
Also though you probably remember don't stress about the loading dock because the lift truck is only like $25 more.
I'll try to check often to see if I can help out. Also if anyone wants I might split a few bags of crystal three ways.
 
I'll take 3 full bags plus do the 1/3 crystal split with Java and Luapnnaj

1. Pilsen: BZ-PILS
2. Munich: BZ-MUNH
3. 2-row: CM-2ROW

The Bairds Carastan (30-40L) would work on this end if Java/Laupnnaj agree:
BD-CRSN

Thanks!
 
Ok, I've updated the list again. Right now there are 8 bags that are waiting a reply based on the old thread. I PM'd each of those folks. In the meantime the 2 bags for Ravenshead and 2 for nat_traversal are over the limit of 42 bags. If people continue to post while I get the purchase setup and we get closer to another pallet we'll do that, but that would take a lot of bags.

geforcex64 (Pete), I'm thinking it would be easier to just offload the bags at my house by hand since we'll have to setup a pickup for everyone.

I'm in Pearland close to 288, so it shouldn't be that bad for the those of you that are in town.
 
Please put me down for 1 bag CM-2 Row.
Also I'm interested in 1/2 bag of Barooze's wheat if it's not gone already.

Anyone interested in hops. It looks like min order is 11 pounds.
 
If we get more takers, we can fill 2 pallets and get an even cheaper rate! Tell your friends! :D
 
I'm probably too late, but if yall go into a second pallet or someone flakes I'd be in for 1 BZ-PILS, 2 CM-2ROW, 1 CM-PALE and 1 BD-MOPA, 5 bags total.

Already 9 sacks into the 2nd pallet. Keep em coming...

EDIT: Please add 1 sack of 5298 (Briess 2‐Row Brewers Malt) to my order. I guess that makes it 10 sacks for the 2nd pallet...
 
I'm in for:
2- GW-PALE, 1- GW-2ROW, 1- GW-C60, 1- BD-MOPA(maris otter)
Total 5 sacks.
Thank you,
Tengallon
 
I'm still in for pils and MO if the second pallet happens.

Barrooze: Split the wheat with Slappy just to keep it simple.
 
I'm in for:
2- GW-PALE, 1- GW-2ROW, 1- GW-C60, 1- BD-MOPA(maris otter)

Tengallon, I have you down for 3 based on your previous comment and the 1st pallet is full. Hopefully my account will be setup on Monday. If it is I'll probably wait until Wednesday to see if we have enough momentum for a second pallet. Let me know which 3 you want on the 1st pallet and if you want 2 on the second pallet (if it happens).
 
I'm in for 4 sacks (from the first page):

2 - Canadian Malt 2-row
1- Bairds Marris Otter
1 - Briess Vienna

If we make a second pallet, I'll go for these on top of what I've got already:
1 - Canadian Malt 2-row
1 - Bairds Marris Otter
 
Sorry, My misunderstanding in that case:

1- GW-PALE, 1- GW-C60, 1- BD-MOPA(maris otter) First Pallet

1-GW-PALE, 1- GW-2ROW, Second Pallet

Thank you,
Tengallon
