Looks like some great deals...

Free shipping in the continental US for all orders over $50?

 

[MarsColonist]

w00t! Id be down for some MO, Vienna and Munich...

 

[lamarguy]

Sounds great! Would you guys consider a two bag minimum if I can't find someone in SA to go in with?

Go ahead and join the group. I know you'll find someone to take a bag off your hands for $28.

Just started making steps to go AG and this is so tempting. Got to ask permission from swmbo .

how much for shipping?

 

[enderwig]

Any idea how long it will take to put this together? I'm considering driving from Houston for this, can't pass up those prices!

We'll be placing the order near the end of the month for delivery in February.

 

[EdWort]

There is no shipping. You pick up in Bee Cave, west of Austin. We'll have a truck with 2-3 pallets of malt (4,000 to 6,000 lbs) and everyone meets on a weekend day in February to pick up their malt and swap beers.

 

[lamarguy]

There is no shipping.

Since Austin to SA is pretty much all down hill, may I suggest you strap the grain pallet to an extra large skateboard and....push?

 

[Lil' Sparky]

I really appreciate Ed and his group putting this together. It makes brewing beer throughout the year really cheap!

 

[Gumbys_Brew]

Ed may i ask where you order the grain from yourself?

You need to buy a couple pallets (84 bags - 4,620#) to get the pricing listed above.

 

[Carrion]

I'm in. I just joined the Yahoo group. (awaiting approval) I've watched the videos and read all about All Grain brewing. Now it's time to do it.
Road Trip to Austin next month!

 

[AstroBrew]

Is it too late to get in on this? I just joined the Yahoo group.

 

[KopyKat]

No, it is not too late. Just post your order on the database. Be sure you make the 3 bag minimum though.

 

[alz28]

I'm in as well. Can't wait to pick my grain up and meet the fellow Texans from HBT.

 

[EdWort]

Bulk buy is closed. We are close to 3 pallets (almost 7,000 pounds of malt). PM me if you are interested with your wish list (minimum 3 bags that you can pick up in Bee Cave, TX). We may get a 4th pallet, but I won't bank on it.

 

[EdWort]

We are going for the 4th pallet. I figured we would after I closed it. Sure enough, emails started flying in.

We'll leave it open till we get to the 4 pallet and then place the order.

Ok guys, step with your minimum 3 bag orders.

 

[LoneOakDesign]

i just got a huge delivery of venison summer sausage in from our processor. i will bring some along for the pickup. we need all the protein we can get to help unload those 4 pallets! i also have a foodsaver i can bring if needed.

[Echo2112]

Just applied for membership to the group, figured I might as well get in if I still can!

 

[RedOctober]

Can we get a truck to the Northeast?

I am sure we'll sell out that one too!

 

[BigWhitey_FrostBox]

I just joined the group. Hopefully, it's still open. Thanks for putting this together Ed! The great prices allowed me to justify ordering a barley crusher

 

[EdWort]

Still open. 15 bags to go till we complete the 4th pallet. That's 9,240 pounds of malt.

 

[avaserfi]

Not looking like I can order, but I might be up for a couple hour drive to the Austin area (depending on my school schedule) to meet HBTers any problem with that?

No problem.

 

[Lil' Sparky]

OK, who's wife from College Station did I meet at Ed's? Send me a PM. Gotta get you hooked up w/ our local brew club. Cheers.

 

[Lil' Sparky]

Oh, and it was a great time, and we got a butt load of grain/hops for a great price.

Ed, thanks a million for setting this up and hosting the distribution! And for the pulled pork! And for the blonde and IPA you served!! You're awesome, brother!

 

[EdWort]

Thanks Clint. It was quite a day.

9,240 Pounds of Malt
33 pounds of Hops
50 pounds of corn sugar (my bag, should cover me for eight 16 gallon batches of Apfelwein)
100 pounds of PBW
4 gallons of Star San
3.5 pounds of Super Moss

Here's the truck backed in my drive way backed up to the B-Ball court.

The first two of 4 pallets.

A view from the truck, KopyKat standing there in the middle drove it down.
