The time is right for another group buy run by yours truly. For those of you involved in my previous buys, it will be at the same location as usual. For those of you unfamiliar with the location it is around Cicero/Grand avenues in Chicago (zip 60639).

The usual applies except that this time I can store more than 5 PMs. So feel free to email me your order request. When sending me your information please include the following:

Name of grain
Nomenclature/Item ID
Quantity (full sacks)

All split orders should be determined amongst yourselves then let me know the grain and who is in on the splits and corresponding amounts.

The catalog with all of the grains is the wholesale catalog. All grains except for Briess are available to us. The only extract available to us are 50 pound bags of DME. Hops are available to us but the pricing is in a different catalog, Homebrewer's Catalog, which I will try to get tomorrow. The hops pricing isn't all that great to be honest.

Once we fill up a pallet or two (or three?), the buy will be closed off and I will submit the spreadsheet for quotation. Once the quote comes back to me I will post it online for everyone to review. Then I will collect money through either cash, paypal or check/money order. I will not order anything until *everyone* has paid.

If you have any questions please let me know. typicallym these buys take about 5-6 weeks between the initial announcement to people picking up at my place. Post your questions on here so that either I or others can answer them for you. Thanks and happy brewing!
 
I have 2 bags of 2-row from the last group buy I wont get to if someone wants them...
 
The catalog was updated today so go back and re-check pricing.
 
Also, please do not share this link with people not participating in the buy.

Thanks,

Bill

I'm in Huntley, so I can pick yours up for you. Anyone else in the far NW burbs, I can help you out as well if you're willing to help pay gas and/or donate beer.
 
I'll take a gallon of Star San. Do I need to provide a container?

No, looking at getting the prepackaged 4 x 1 gallon bottles. Its within $0.20 each of the 5 gallon price so no reason to go thru the hassle of splitting a bucket.

I'm right at rt53 & rt14 northwest highway, have a truck, and a flexible schedule. If you guys want to cut out some drive time I can get it out to my place at least.
 
Star san comes in all different sizes. In the last buy, there was an additional charge described as a "hazardous material" or something to that affect for the start san since it is corrosive. I'll check description again and post back. The point being is that there will be a delivery charge tacked on to start san orders.
 
I saw a line item on page 4 of Additional Freight Fees. It says Hazardous Materials Transport Fees ($15 per order) Hopefully thats it.

Divided 4 (or even 8 ways if we get a second full split of the 4x1g ), i think its still cheaper than B&G or shipping from NB/MW.

Pinto - adding you to the second group for a potential split.
 
Submitted my order.

Didn't have any takers last time, but if anyone is interested in a split of Smoked Malt, I'm your guy.

53 and 14 is great for me. I am going to put in my order and we can figure out the logistics.

can you please send me a PM with your requirements so I have it archived? Thanks.
 
PM sent.

2 maris otter
1 pale
1 gal star san.

Anyone looking to get some wheat?
 
Please do me a huge favor. With any splits of grain, cleaning chemicals and hops (assuming we can get them at a competitive price) I ask that you figure out the splits amongst yourselves then PM the final tally and who the split(s) participants are. Thank you.
 
Sorry, i jumped the gun on ordering a gal of star san. looks like we will need two more people to fill the second group.
 
Bill, I don't mind coordinating and updating a pending split list. Once a bag/item is spoken for, i can send a PM to the players and you if that helps.

Whatever makes it easier for you.

That's fine. Thanks
 
we're at 41 bags already. looks like we might be able to get a second pallet since the first one has almost filled up in less than 24 hours.
 
Looks like there is still one opening on the second star san split, if that's the case, I'll take a gallon.
