I brewed four quick batches after the last group buy but still have a nice supply, hope to get some more brew days in before the buy closes so I can restock. Unsure the wife will be happy if I add more taps just so I can brew more so I can buy more grains.. vicious circle. Happy brewing all!
 
I had a year long brewing hiatus after I moved, but I'm getting ready to ramp production back up (beer stash is dwindling rapidly). I'll try to help close out some splits soon.
 
Looks like there are some great crops of sour cherries this year, so I'm thinking of a big Lambic project. Anyone want to do splits on Dingemans pilsen and Rahr unmalted wheat?

Did you find out about milled?
 
Is the close date still expected for August with pickup three weeks from the close date?

stonebrewer said:
Depends on demand, really. Usually they are 2-4 months apart, with the last one in early May so rough guess would be sometime in AUG. We delayed the start of this one a couple of weeks to get the new website online so it is slow out of the gates.

@reddskinnfan - sorry forgot...hopefully I will remember tonight when I get home.
@R_Horn - unsure and right now looking unlikely...last I checked we were at 7 sacks or so...
 
So he told me we could definitely get them premilled:

"Will need to check on availability for individual grains. They are not however the same price. I'm not finding any premilled grain on the BSG website and the LD Carlson website is charging $3-$4 more per sack for premilled."

Awesome... Willing to pay that for milled!

Will be ordering soon!

Does milled grain keep as well as whole?

Nope, much shorter lived.
With cool and dry storage, 6 months seems to be about the limit for milled.

Now YMMV, as has mine. I've used milled base grain that was 4 years old and still fine. I did mix in 50/50 fresh in case the DP had tanked.

I think airtight storage helps to prevent staling. Purging air from storage bags/containers or vacuum sealing is even better. I always taste the malt, just to be sure.

Yep, but I plan on using mine much faster.
 
We have never ordered hops on the buy. I have gotten pricing several times and published it and there has never been any interest because the prices we can get are actually higher than what you can do via mail order...
 
Saw on the web page that the tentative pickup date is August 12th. That's also the date for 3 Stars 5th Anniversary bash, which starts at noon for "VIP tickets" and at 1:00 PM for non VIP. It seems likely the grain pickup will be a different date.
 
Closed a couple of splits, added a bunch of splits, accidentally added a 2-row split (gotta stop ordering after a few homebrews).

Welcome back Tony!

OK folks, I think I am caught up! I created a ton of accounts, so let me know if I missed anyone. Jet lag is still kicking my butt pretty hard, but I think I got the site caught up. Cheers!

Any idea on the plan for closing and new tentative pickup date?
Click to expand...

Short answer is "No. It depends on you guys."

Longer answer is " We are at 22 sacks closed as of this writing. I added about 6 new accounts yesterday, so if they start ordering it should pick up. Right now we have 24 splits, of which 3 are closed. So if those 21 open splits close, I would proceed with the order. Or if we get about 10 more full sacks and about half the splits close, I would proceed as well. To make it worth the effort, we generally target a minimum of about 40-50 sacks. My complete and total WAG is that we will get to a decent enough amount by the end of this month based on the new folks and people starting to close splits. If either of those peter out, it could be SEPT or even OCT, but likely close at the end of AUG with pickup a few weeks into SEPT. Sorry I don't have a definitive answer but most of the variables are out of my control."

+6 sacks closed yesterday, so we are at 28. I have some travel coming up next month, so it would be best if we could close this out sooner or it may have to wait a week or two on me. Dunno yet, but am encouraged it is picking up a bit.

Mike - let me check with them on exact costs/varieties and I will add the premilled to the selection on the site. Still a little jet lagged but should be able to get to this tonight or tomorrow. Cheers!
