So the average is around 3.5 sacks per person.

I'm just realizing how many people that is. Awesome.

Round of applause for the organizers...

 

[cadwallion]

Some nice people should pickup some Acid Cleaner #5 and Star-Xene.

Is this a recent discovery or has it been like that all along?

 

[Glynn]

[bmason1623]

I don't know. Maybe ghoti made a change in the layout.

I got your Acid #5. The Star-Xene is a bit too rich for my blood though.

Seems like Brew Camp decided to get in on the group buy action...

[bmason1623]

what are their prices like?

 

[roblanderson]

Does anyone from down state participate? I live in Bloomington, but Peoria or Champaign would also work. If so, I'd be interested!

 

[bmason1623]

there was one guy from Carbondale who participated in GB#5 I think it was. Otherwise, I don't know of anyone south of Tinley Park who participates.

I'm in Morris fairly often, I80 and rt 47. Used to work in Bloomington, its an hour ride.

So would you be willing/able to pick up my order and meet in Morris? I'll check with my brewing buddies and find out for sure how much interest there would be. It would likely be 4 or 5 sacks.

I'll sign up and check it out.

Yeah, I could manage that.

 

[Face Eater]

Need to check my inventory, should still need some stuff.

 

[roblanderson]

Yeah, I could manage that.

Thank you so much for the offer - we're going to skip this buy though. When the next bulk buy happens in 2014 I'll check in with the group and we may ask about this option then.

Ok, cool. No problem. I'm sure I'll be in that one too, and the offer stands.

Bill I added a couple things thinking it would allow me to split them, I removed those items and show only rice hulls just want to make sure that you see the same on your end for me.

Thanks

 

[ghoti]

Yes louie you only have rice hulls in your order.

One thing I picked-up in the last buy was D-2 candy syrup. When you do a parti-gyle and it needs a little bump in the ABV, break open a can, or two, of D-2. It's nice to have in the brew house stock.

I bump up my ABV with DME (it's a lot cheaper to buy a 50lb bag through the group buy, rather than buying elsewhere as needed).

Good call! I hadn't thought of that. Might give it a try sometime.

There was an issue today with the vendor hosting the website that removed a piece of our database which was holding the order for full sacks. So if you ordered a full sack you will need to add it again. I am sorry for this, but hopefully it is an easy fix.

****UPDATE: I was able to restore from Monday, so please check your orders if you have added/removed anything since then

 

[Onkel_Udo]

hmmm...my sack of two-row is still there.

Since I just saw this I am going to create an id on your bulk page but I won't be placing an order this time but I am sure I will in March, as I am in the process of going to AG over the fall and winter

[cheesecake]

Anyone interested in that Cargill Caramel 40 - Cargill split? Come on, you know you want it.

Hey bmason,
No questions here, just wanted to say thanks for putting these together.

It's pretty awesome for an amateur brewer to be able to get a hold of 50lbs of 2 row for what he usually pays for an entire 5 gallon batch.

 

[Gothic_Horror]

Almost at 14,000#, not bad for a GB which some people are sitting out. Not bad at all.
