Buffalo group buy for August/September 2015

[b-boy]

Hi - Welcome to the Buffalo group buy for August/September 2015.

I'd like to officially open the Buffalo Group Buy for August/September 2015.

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

This is our third group buy. I received several emails from people 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 09/13/2015 assuming we get the minimum # of orders.
• All grain must be picked up at the same time. I will take care of the pickup. I just purchased a new pickup, so I should be good to go (The last pickup just about killed my Honda Element).
• 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 Pendelton.
• 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 09/13/2015.
• Group buy closes on 09/13/2015.
• Accept payment (~1 week).
• Place order with vendor.
• Wait for order to arrive.
• Pickup order in Dunkirk.
• Distribute in Buffalo, NY area. Location TBD.

Nice! Thanks for getting the ball rolling b-boy. I got an error when I tried the link. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance Dunkirk Homebrew!

 

[b-boy]

Not sure. Let me take a look at the link.

Edit - fixed it. It should work now.

[b-boy]

Bumping again - no interest?

 

[tagz]

Bummer. No bites? I'm definitely in for one sack if we can get the numbers.

I pretty much have the grains I need until December. As I go towards heavier beers and use different types of British grains for each batch. I've done two harvest beers and used the last of my 2-row with 1lb 6oz left! So I would go in for a sack of 2-row if the numbers come. I'll also offer the "city" drop off/pick up this time if it makes anything easier.

 

[b-boy]

Just got an order for:

1856C - AVANGARD MALZ PREMIUM MUNICH MALT LIGHT (8L) 55 LB
1928C - Briess 2-ROW BREWERS MALT 50 LB

8 sacks to go.

Hey - I just realized I never got back to you on the beer you gave me last time. It was very good. I really enjoyed it.

Glad to hear it. It's always nice to get feedback on beers. I like to get critiqued by fellow brewers and knowledgeable beer drinkers the feedback is helpful to brew better beers. I basically brew for my taste. I haven't gotten the double back in the pipeline yet as I just brewed two harvest ales an IPA and an Old Ale with hops from the back yard.

But do put me down for a sack of 2-row again.

Hi Guys - the grain is in Dunkirk. I got an email yesterday. I will pick up the grain this weekend. I'll send out an email to everyone with details as soon as I can. I can't email from work.

I picked up the grain today. I just sent an email. The plan will be to pickup Monday @ 6:30. I'll send the location tomorrow. Alternatively, you can stop by my house if you'd like. My address is in the email.

 

[b-boy]

Reminder - grain pickup today at 6:30-7:30. If you can't make it, let me know and we'll figure something else out.
