FEDEX?
It wasn't clear we could still get the old shipping method per truck at $7 a sack or were forced to use Fedex instead.
no change in shipping... still 295 per pallate.

First off a big thanks to Stefin for organizing and providing this service to the homebrewing community. I appreciate everything you've done to make this happen for us!
Secondly, if CMG is willing to sell to us as a co-op, i'd be willing to donate money towards the legal fees of setting it up.
Stefin- what do you have as far as specialty grains go? Any star san?
I reached out to Apex Brew Wares (a homebrew shop outside of Kansas City in Missouri). I bought a few things from them on-line and follow them on Facebook. Jeremy has posted many times about doing a group by for his local market, so I followed up with him to see what he does in terms of mark-up, etc.
He responded saying he essentially does a small mark-up to cover freight and his time, while keeping the prices lower than anyone else can provide. He sees it as a win, win. He offers his customers a great deal, so they shop more often at their store and his customers obviously get grain at a cheap price.
He also noted that most shops seem to want to suck every single cent possible out of their customers.
Man...I wish we had a brewshop in our area that provided such a customer friendly service. I'd actually shop at myLHBS if they provided that service (and were helpful...and nice).
Thanks, that will put some minds at ease.no change in shipping... still 295 per pallate.
I paid 90 per bag of extract through NCM. 185 yikesJust got a reply back
Hello Doug,
Unfortunately we do not have a grain catalog yet. The maltsters we have access to are Briess, Muntons, Weyerman, Dingeman's, Rahr, Crisp, and Castle. As far as organic grains go, we can only get in Briess 2-Row (50lb bag for $80) and 50lb Briess light dry malt extract for $185.
Here are the rest of the prices you requested...
2 Row - 50lb Briess is $55, 50lb Rahr is $52
Maris Otter - 55lb Muntons is $69
Red Wheat - 50lb Briess is $60
Munich 10L - 50lb Briess is $65
Crystal 60L - 50lb Briess is $75
Hope that helps you make some decisions. Please let me know if you would like to place an order.
Cheers,
James McEver

an option that was pointed out in another thread: http://www.gwkent.com/brewery/ingredients.html?cat=166
not the biggest selection, but depending on shipping cost it should be cheaper than the new NMC prices.
thoughts?
Also, I think MyLHBS has recently started a customer loyalty program, again not sure on the details. .
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe their new program is a 1% dividend
so that's a decent alternative, IMO. ordering by the palette is norm, anyways. furthermore, this allows us to spend our money elsewhere than NMC... AKA sticking it to them.they (kent) will sell to homebrewers... but only in the pallate. shipping is essentially the same as NCM.

no experience with Durst, but if we do order from them i'll be checking them out. their "Turbo" malts are extra-highly modified and the claim is that they convert very quickly, in case that's of interest to anyone.Looks like their Durst Malz brand is even cheaper than my last order that we cancelled. Anyone have any experience with that brand of malt?

i think so.... ill call them today, and start a thread.... but if someone else wanted to volunteer to distribute... i would be ok with that
FYI, just something I have heard but Kent requires a loading dock for deliveries.
