bulk grain buy - north dallas

I am interested in a bulk-grain buy - anyone in the north dallas area intersted in the same so we can get an order placed?

+1 I'm into at least 200#.

+1 at least 300#

Added you both to the list - i am researching the best deal (and am open to suggestions)

give EdWort a private message

Any progress on this?

I'll get local club members involved.

I would probably be in for a few bags as well I won't know exactly how much until closer to the event.

Be up for a couple of bags.

Getting a club involved, would be good step in the right direction.

Cap and Hare is a good club. Also, Foreman's in Colleyville has good, inexpensive grains, and as a member of Cap and Hare, you get 10% off, even on sack prices.

I buy my grains from there, I just got some Weyermann Pale malt for $1.29 lb, and that wasn't a bulk or discount price.

I am waiting for final numbers from a local resource and will post shortly on the grains and cost - They are willing to do minimum orders of 2000lb's which is easily attainable I think. Should know more tomorrow.

sounds good.. thanks for putting this together.

So far this is what I have for participants based on this thread. The feedbac from the seller is a pallett with 40 50# bags of malted barley would be .75#+tax+shipping.

Shipping varies since they use flexible shipping, meaning they always look for the cheapest shipping company.

undallas - 200
jeff967 - 300
avaserfi - 100 (estimate)
auto - 100 (estimate)
hayabusa - 200

So we have 900lbs towards a 2000 lb order. They can do a 1000/lb order but the shipping cost would be the same so 2000lb would be ideal.

The total order will be 1500+tax (~$140 at 8.5) + shipping

Any others interested?

Any pricing, availability and bag sizing on grain? That way I could decide exactly how much I wanted of what goods.

We can only get the one type of grain, there are no other options? I am sure myself and others would be far more willing to buy grain if there was a variety available. Both base and specialty grains would be nice as well.

.75 a pound is to rich far me.

unfortunatly just the base grain is what is available.... I would like to place an order in 3 weeks if I can get enough people involved.

I might be interested, depending somewhat on how bad shipping is. Homebrew HQ has 2 row for $0.98 - 10% NTHBA discount = $0.88 + 8.25% tax = $0.954 per lb when you buy 50 lbs or more.

Homebrew Headquarters: Product Details

By contrast, this is $0.75 + tax + shipping = $0.811 + shipping.

So the savings here is ($0.954 - $0.811 - (shipping per lb)) = $0.143 - shipping.

This is all assuming that these malts are comparable, any thoughts on that?

Any estimates on what shipping might run?

EDIT: I might be interested in 2-3 bags or so, unless shipping is awful

I thought we would have more varieties here... If it is just the base malt, I probably only need 100... not 200#. 200# includes (50# f marris otter and 50# of vienna)

I think you do not pay sales on grain.

That's a valid point.

What's the status on this grain purchase?

I may be in for this. Need more details. Brand? Only base malt? What vendor are you talking with? The Austin Group used North Country. You could buy anything they sold.

bump? whatever happened to this? picking up my mill in a couple weeks...

I wasn't able to get enough people invovled to arrange 2000lbs; it's base malt only and its from a local brewery in North Texas.

I'd be interested if we can get enough people involved.

I was looking at this too but when I got to post 20 I realized this post is over 2 years old..... I think you're a little late unless you some how resurrect it and become the new leader

I intentionally resurrected it to see if there was any interest as I don't have a source for bulk grain.
