Cool. If it won't work that's fine. Anyone else wanna split another bag of rice hulls?
I'd be fine with 11 lbs of rice hulls instead of 13.75, but I don't want to speak for everyone else.
If you get in on the grains of paradise or one of my other split buy offers I will make an executive decision though

I don't mind. It's only 2.5 lbs less. On page 37 of the price list it says rice hulls are 50 pound sack.
Anyone else getting in on the bitter and sweet orange peel?

$19 a sack on the rice hulls. Generic is .38/lb, briess is .44/lb.

Its a 50 pound sack. But still a great price. My LHBS charges $2/lb

I'd be willing to split a sack of rice hulls too, preferably 3-5 ways.
On a side note, with this much interest would it be possible to set up a bulk buy a couple of times a year? These prices are making me realize how bad of a rip-off my LHBS is, but I'm not ready to stock up on specialty grains or other adjuncts/flavorings/supplies.

Generic rice hulls fine with me.
Anyone splitting DME? I could take up to 10 lbs of Golden Light or similar... minimum size is 50 lbs.

I think that would be the plan. I believe the initial group buy was to gauge interest and then we'd decide the frequency afterward.

and maybe we can take turns making the actual purchases.

Thanks for the PM.

I'm fine with splitting five ways.
we are at 6 and I think we should just go for 2 sacks.
100lbs/6= 16.5lbs
$38/6= $6.34
so we arn't talking a lot of $ here.
for S&G = $0.38 a lb

I'm only seeing one bag of rice hulls. Are we splitting this 6 ways, or am I missing a second bag?

I actually haven't added this since I don't believe Ace has sent me anything. Has Ace been informed of the final breakdown for this? I'm only entering whatever Ace emails me to keep potential double entries from occurring. PM him with the finall tally. Thank you.
Sure!
Final tally appears to be 2 sacks split 6 ways.
Still looking for someone to split the following:
Flaked Wheat
Medium Crystal (Carastan from Bairds or Fawcett Crystal I)
Rye (RC said he was interested, but a 3rd would be good)
Grains of Paradise - anyone who wants 4 oz for this split? Price is 80+% off LHBS price

I might get in on the rye. Which one were you thinking? Just looking at price wise. Don't want to over spend. Randar do you want me to pm ace about the orange peels?
Just PM'd him on the orange peel(s) and the list of 6 people for the 6-way split of 2 sacks of rice hulls. We could still add a person or 2 to the split without changing the order, so speak soon if interested.
I wasn't looking to spend a lot on the Rye Malt. CMC might be fine (fitty cents a pound or something like that)

I'll get in on that rye if you don't mind
Sounds good. Just need to get the approval from RC and I will send Ace the PM for the 3-way split.

Yup, just confirming I'm in on the rice hulls split as marked above. This is coming together nicely and quickly...

We have exceeded our target of 37 bags. I'm thinking maybe we should wait the rest of this week to see if anybody else wants to get in or change their order. Come Monday, I will contact the distributor and ask for a RFQ. Ace, what do you think? Anyone else have any suggestions?

That's perfect. Gives the stragglers a couple days notice to get orders in, then we can get this thing rolling.

I added a second work sheet named "CMG-RFQ" which gives the list of items and their quantities that are on the order request from everybody. I will submit this info for an RFQ.
