I would as well. Having said that, it really depends on the when and where. I don't want to commit to something I won't be able to make it to.

I'm down. I need a sack of pils and sack of pale.
I'm doing fine with pale, pils and wheat. I would be very interested in specialty malts if they can produce any. Specifically crystal, Munich and Vienna

Bump, not much interest at this time.....if we cant at least get over 1000 lbs, I doubt if it's worth it. I paid $59 for a sack of CMC 2 row at the Brewhut....thats the last time I do that.....but I was desperate.

According to their website:
Due to high volume orders we are temporarily unable to produce
specialty malts. Sorry for the inconvenience, please keep checking in for
future updates.
Thank you,
Colorado Malting Company
Seems like there is interest in around 500-600Lbs currently, i have lost the Email from them, but I know there is a price break at 1000lbs.
I think we should prepay direct to the company this time though, and they WILL ship if you cant make the pickup.

BB-
Would agree w the prepayment, and I have let Jason know that. And yes they will ship, for the UPS rate, which is as much as the grain last I checked. So for me, this wouldn't be an option.

I would be down for 50# Pale, 50# Pilsner. And I would have no problem w/ prepaying. It seems like the way to go to me.
I'm surprised you're not getting more responses. Seems like it should be really easy to get over the 1000 lb mark. I'd be in for 150.

Hopefully everyone is subscribed, can everyone post in raw numbers how much they want? This way we can get a count and see how close we are, I had great luck with their malt and would much rather by from CMC and keep the money in state.
Id take 100Lbs Pale.

He wants to ship a pallaet to a commercial address instead of delivery. I am out of this one.

what are the implications of this? I MIGHT be in for 100#, but want this point clarified (this would be my first group buy with this group)

My assumption is that it will cost a bunch to ship a pallet of grain. Again, I will not be involved in this buy if that is the case.

Confirmed that it is shipment only....they stopped delivering (to homebrewers anyway) once they had enough of a customer base and can't keep up w demand.

Well doesn't that just give you a warm-fuzzy as a customer. Nice to be appreciated for helping get their business off the ground.

That was what I thought when I got his email. Great Western will work fine for me until I can find a better source.

Well that sucks, I have a truck large enough to pick up a pallet, but by the time I factor in fuel I could get 3 sacks at the LHBS. It sounds like unless we have a huge order this idea is out the window.

Never emailed Jason back after he told me they had bigger clients to take care of, then randomly got this email this morning, so either they really had a change of heart or business is slow. Not sure how I feel about buying from them at this point. What say you?:
Chris,
I spoke with my partners and we decided to make an exception for your group. If you'd like to place and order we'll bring it to you like we have in the past. Sorry I have been slow in my correspondence. Thanks!
$0.60 per lb on orders over 1000 lbs (plus a shipping fee which will be minimal)
Thanks!

I'm still in for 100# of pale.
That is an odd way to say you'd like to do business with a
group of people. Having said that I would like to be in for 50# ils, 50 # pale on a buy.

Agreed Let's face it, they probably had bigger fish to fry at the time and now they have time to deal with a buy in the Denver area.
I'll be in for at least 50 lbs of pale.
Chris, any word on availability of specialty malts?
Better yet, could you list what grains and roasts might be available for the group buy?
