Thanks. Too soon for me. I just bought 200 lbs of grain in Dallas a month ago. That will keep me busy for a while. Maybe in 2011.

Do you guys like the Canadian 2-row or is it because it is cheap? I tried carrying it once and the customers didn't seem to like it. How much are you guys paying per bag including shipping for the Canadian stuff?

Forrest,

I've been using the Canadian 2-row for over a year and have no complaints. For a 55# bag, it's roughly $29.50, including shipping in the group buy (if my math is right).

I should be able to stock that grain for that price or lower. We are moving to an 18,000 sq foot store in February, so storing it will be no problem.

Sounds like business is good. I know I'm doing my part. Haven't made it to the store myself, but I will the next time I'm in Austin (which isn't often enough).

Anyone else having trouble logging into the spreadsheet?

thats great news.
where is your new location going to be?
i'm in on this group buy but if i can get the grain for close to the same price from you i'd rather get it from you...

I wont be able to start the group buy at my store until February after we have moved.

We will be on the east side of metric almost at research. Across from the back parking lot of Goodwill. We are the first building past Pep Boys on the east side of the street.

We are trippling in size this time. We have found that doulbling every 5 years wasn't working. We were lucky to find the ideal building 1.9 miles away, closer to 183.

Well, we reached our limit of 11,550 pounds of malt for this buy. That 5 pallets for a total of 210 bags.

Thanks for participating. Pictures to follow.

Cheers,

wow how did I miss this?
meh, maybe next time. I have 2 batches to brew already from AHS. If Forrest is going to have prices like that , I drive to Austin often enough to pick it up.

Hey Forrest, hope the move's been good to you and you haven't dropped any of your delicates

My question is if you're closer to a date for this group buy. I began brewing with you guys and now that I'm into all grain I'm looking for the next step! So I'll be planning on making the trip when you get things settled!

And thanks!

I am planning a grand opening sale at the new store with grains and hops being at a very low price.

Hey there Forrest! Got a date yet? I work a LOT and am wondering if and when I'll be able to pencil you in on the calender for an Austin trip

double post

This will happen in early March. We will be moved into the new store at the end of February.
