Buffalo Group Buy - April 2015

[b-boy]

Hi - Welcome to the Buffalo group buy for April 2015.

I'd like to officially open the Buffalo Goup Buy for April 2015.

We have an opportunity to get special bulk pricing from Dunkirk Homebrew Supplies in Dunkirk, NY.

This is our second group buy. I received several emails from people who missed the first group buy, asking about doing another one.

Here is the grain list and pricing for the Buffalo Group Buy only: http://www.dunkirkhomebrew.com/BuffaloBulkBuyGrains/tabid/666/Default.aspx

Rules of the group buy:

• We need a minimum of 10 50/55 lb. sacks to get the special pricing.
• 10 lb. sacks are available, but do not count toward the minimum sack count.
• Please PM me directly with your order. If it's posted online it won't count. Include the product ID listed in the first column on webpage, the description, and the price to help minimize mistakes.
• I will keep the buy open until 04/30/2015 assuming we get the minimum # of orders.
• All grain must be picked up at the same time. I will take care of the pickup.
• Grain will be distributed in Buffalo. We can determine a convenient location for everyone as this progresses. Worst case, we can distribute at my house in Getzville.
• I will provide updates on the amount of grain we've ordered as the buy progresses.
• If you want to do splits, please make arrangements among yourselves.
• Payment will be required prior to ordering, so please be prompt with your payment. You can PayPal me directly or send me a check made out to the vendor. I will forward all payments to the vendor. I'll provide payment details after we close the group buy.

Group Buy Process:

• Accept orders through 04/30/2015.
• Group buy closes on 04/30/2015.
• Accept payment (~1 week).
• Place order with vendor.
• Wait for order to arrive.
• Pickup order in Dunkirk.
• Distribute in Buffalo, NY area. Location TBD.

Thanks for getting another buy together! I'm definitely on board for this buy. I just have to go over what is in the "chute" and what I will need in the future. I've been brewing like crazy getting the stock up so I can play with new ideas.

Great I'm happy the group buy is on... I made my first double size starter yesterday. I'm pouring off half to save for the next starter. Just started to bring 11 gallons of water up to temp for an Old Ale I'm brewing today.

OK - April 2015 grain buy is officially closed. I will send out payment and pick up details within the next few days. Please pay promptly. I can't place an order until I have everyone's money in hand.

 

[b-boy]

Still working on the email to everyone. I've been a little busy. Expect and email from me tomorrow.

 

[allentwnguy]

No problem at all!!! It is the season with summer coming and all. I'm retired and I'm going 90% of the time... even trying to fit in a batch of beer is rough right now. Yesterday the main project was planting 10 planters and 7 hanging baskets, over 130 plants. Today we are tearing up 3/4 of the front porch floor for replacement and some other repairs for a week long project. So I sympathize when you say you are busy. As I say when it gets done it gets done. Thanks for all your effort!

 

[b-boy]

Email sent last night.

Still waiting for a few responses. Once I get them I will forward a spreadsheet with order details and payment instructions to everyone.

 

[b-boy]

OK. Heard from everyone and picked up a few more sacks for the order. I will send final spreadsheet tonight.

 

[b-boy]

Email sent with final order spreadsheet attached. Please let me know if you did not receive it. Also, please verify your orders. I had some last minute changes, so make sure you're getting what you ordered.

Please remit payment ASAP. I can't place an order until all the money has been received.

 

[allentwnguy]

I have a question for those of you that have bought bulk before and use gamma seal lidded buckets. How many does it take to hold a sack of grain? I have only used them to store 10lb and 1lb bags. By that gauge it looks like 2 will almost hold a 50lb but not quite. Anyone??

 

[b-boy]

yes. 2 will hold about 45-47 lbs. it's kind of annoying.

 

[allentwnguy]

yes. 2 will hold about 45-47 lbs. it's kind of annoying.

I guess I'll have to make a small beer!!!!

 

[b-boy]

1-gallon ziplock bags are your friend.
