Not sure what you mean by additional costs but a 50# bag of great western 2-row comes out to less than $30. Saaz is about $8/lb when you buy in 11 pound boxes.
cyclogenesis said:It certainly is pretty phenomenal.. I brewed my first beer with the bulk grain Sunday and I recon that it cost me about a 1/3 what it would cost me getting grain from the LHBS
I might be interested in jumping into this the next time around... what's an estimate of the additional costs per bag?
cyclogenesis said:So I went to my recipes, changed the report to "classic text" and hit "save report"
For some reason cut and paste does not work in my BS.. So I need to dump to text file and the open it in a text editor to copy and paste into the forums..
There's a couple bucks for shipping and paypal fees. I think mine came out to be an extra $3.40 for the a 50# sack CAN 2ROW.
Did you try ctrl+a to select all then ctrl+c for copy?
Mine was similar, the delivery + paypal charges were about 10% of the prices listed in the catalog.
This was my first time with a group buy, and it went great. My first attempt to mill my grain at home didn't go as well, but I think I still made beer yesterday.
Anyone have suggestions on grain storage options? For now I just have it in those orange buckets from Home Depot.
Hi Bill
By any chance do you have details on the EKG?
Wagz and his wife Star mentioned the exact same thing today when they were here. Who's up for hosting this?
those buckets work fine for storing grain.
I use those along with the Gamma lids. They are reusable and easy to get in and out of. They also provide an airtight seal.
kwhyte said:The lids are my biggest concern with the HD buckets. It seems like I basically have to break them to get them off. Do you know of any decently priced source of gamma lids?
In the city!! I HATE drivingIdeally, someone with a nice, grassy big yard and centrally located I'm thinking.

Back story on this recipe? My wife LOVES ambers and I haven't found a solid consistent recipe.
Not to get too far off topic, but if you're interested in a straightforward, sessionable amber, I have had great success with Jamil's American Amber in his brewing classic styles book. Bill helped me brew (and drink) 10 gallons of that a few months back.

The group buy is over so this thread needs a new topic!Not to get too far off topic, but if you're interested in a straightforward, sessionable amber, I have had great success with Jamil's American Amber in his brewing classic styles book.

keep me posted.Amber is a bit of a misnomer.. it is actually a red ale (whole heap of melanoidin)
Just about finished bottle aging now and tasting very nice.. The last addition was actually wet hops (4x multiplier) fresh from my chinook bine

That looks pretty similar. I'll have a look at the recipe when I get home.The group buy is over so this thread needs a new topic!
This one? http://brewlogblog.wordpress.com/2009/11/14/american-amber-ale-recipe/
keep me posted.
The wife is FINALLY drinking one of my homebrews after 5 years and its GreenwoodRover's recipe

Me and my brother are gonna try making an Imperial IPA, 109 IBU's, but the majority of the hops don't come in until the last ten minutes!!! Let's see what happens.
