Hey guys!
a friend of mine has opened a LHBS (in New York), and has offered a bulk grain buy that can be drop shipped out this way that he facilitates through his supplier. we would have to fill the order in pallet increments (of whatever grains we want of course) to get the best rates on shipping, but we could do a partial if needed. I would want this to go down ASAP so we can get to brewin'!
here are the prices offered (all malt is from Great Western unless otherwise noted)
2-Row - $39
Pale - $35
Wheat - $37
Vienna - $42
Munich - $38
C 15/30/40/60/75/150 - all are $51
Canadian Malting Pilsen - $40
Baird Marris Otter - $48
These prices do not contain the shipping fee, but I feel that it is a safe bet that there would be a $4-6 per bag addition. Once we get the number of sacks finalized, we will get the shipping quote, and then have everyone's grand total PM'd to them.
as far as payment, I will see if we can pay the LHBS directly via credit card, otherwise I would say a money order or cash in person PRIOR to the actual ordering of the grains will be the way to go here.
speaking of "in person", I work in Trevose (Mon - Fri), and live in Warminster, so it wouldn't be super difficult to meet up with me for payment purposes (at least IMO!)...and then I will send the funds. Like the other group buys, I stand to make nothing off of this; I just want grain at less than a buck a pound!
the actual location of the shipment/pickup is still TBD, but I would assume Warminster would be the place.
so please PM me or respond here and let's see what we can put together!
