North East OHIO group grain buy

Pola0502ds im sorry, I should have thought before I made the orginal post to this forum. I should have just stuck to PM and let you post here. my bad

 

Yeah, 5 gal batches about 2x a month.

-d

 

Pola, any word from your friend? Thx

 

If this opens up, I would be in for at least 5 bags.

 

Yeah, he doesn't need any grain yet.

 

I'm in the Valley as well and would be interested.

 

Let me know next go around....

 

I'm in Clevelandand in need of grain as well.

 

I'm around Akron, and would love to get in on a group buy sometime in the future!

 

Some guys actually a lot closer to you and in the Akron area just did one in the fall. As far as I know they order twice a year. Talk to the SAAZ beer club I think the guy who leads that Akron buy is a member. I found another off line group of guys here in Cleveland and we just finished a buy last month, next time should be around Oct. I planned wisely this time and bought 7 sacks of grain vs 3 I bought in this threads buy. However, in hind sight I probably would have bought 10 instead of 7 witlth all the brewing I have been doing.

 

FYI - Pittsburgh/Western PA Group Buy #2 is up and running

Any Clevelanders going in on the Pittsburgh buy? I'd be happy to chip in for gas money if someone picked up a few bags for me.

 

bmickey salem area is participating in the buy. kind of in between

 

Correct.

 

I'd be happy to bring grain from Monroeville to Wheeling for any of the Ohio brewers. Would knock a little over an hour off your drive time.

 

I am in NE Ohio. Planning on making a trip out of it and hitting Rivertowne Pour House Brewery in Monroeville!

 

...for a couple home brews or more!!

 

I could also bring stuff back for some NE Ohio guys if needed.

 

I'm always happy to accept donations of home brew...

 

What kind of space do you have?


I have a 3/4 ton Dodge and would either burn $70 to Wheeling or about $90 to Monroeville round trip in diesel. I have a cap on it and it is a long bed, so plenty of room

If someone wants to go in on the fuel, I can make the trip if we need more room. Heck I would be down to hit the brewery in Monroeville if we just want to ride together. I am open to suggestions.

I am debating on about 7 bags plus Star-San.

 

Well you have some good points , I have a truck but no cap. I have our Element with plenty of space for maybe 5 bags total so not optimal either for yours and mine! But.... Beer at Monroeville sounds good!

Lets see how it all pans out closer to shipping...

 

I am picking up mine and probably McGees , totaling about 8 bags. That makes my vehicle full. Sorry all, let you know closer to shipping time if anything changes.

 

If anyone still wants in. I have plenty of room in my truck.
