Buffalo NY group buy?

[mjap52]

you may be right, I hope John does it again I could use 8 or 10 bags

Pretty sure the buy would fill up in a couple days. I could go with at least 5.

might need two pallets

 

[jeffb418]

Yeah GW Kent seems to be tightening down on home-brewers getting accounts. Plus they require a loading dock, no res deliveries.

 

[abrew2u]

Does anyone know who would be willing to sell us the grain I can't seem to locate anyone

 

[westo2]

If something is able to get started up, I'd be in for 4-5 sacks.

 

[gestalt162]

I'd be down for 2 sacks as well. John, are you willing and available for another round?

 

[BeerMeThatBeer]

I've still got a bunch of base grain from a Pittsburgh buy I got in on this year, but if this gets up and running could always grab another sack or two.

Better yet, if anyone is up for it, would split a few malts with people? I'm thinking 1/2 sack each of Rye/Munich/Wheat should get me through the winter!

[brew_ny]

I just sent John an email to see if he is up to it, I would like at least six sacks but may do ten

I need him to ship to me as I am in Albany

I believe GWKent will sell to anyone who buys a pallet of grain and has a loading dock

I have a loading dock but do not need 40 bags

all the best

Can anyone do web design?

 

[soccerRef]

jumped in here when I saw activity hoping for a group buy close by ( Rochester NY here)..

sorry to hear about your hand! What are you looking for in web design, I have a decent amount of experience. ( software/web design/developer)

 

[jdomres]

Does anyone want to organize the next buy? I can order through my account. We need a business with forklift

 

[brandon443]

Wish I could help out with this.. But I know no one/place with an available forklift!

 

[soccerRef]

i would be willing to help out with the organization side of things. I have no access to a dock/lift though, so someone else would need to provide that aspect of the solution.

I have a loading dock, forklift and I am a business but I am in Albany so I am more then likely too far away

it worked for me to get in the last buy John because you were able to have my trucker pick up at you place

wish I could help

What is everyone doing for base grain these days? Is NT the cheapest option?

 

[dogpoundbrewery]

If my brew day is planned I will going to NT or if its on a whim ill go to consumers beverage on sheridan dr they have basic grains 2 row even marris otter plus some speciality grains , yeast and some pellet hops . It's nice because there open till 10 pm and also Sundays . There prices are reasonable and if you need your grains crushed they have a hand cranked barley crusher

 

[orangemen5]

Hand cranked??? What if you want 15lbs of grain crushed. The orchard park consumers has a drill on theirs. I'd tell them to step up their game.

 

[SupervisingChildren]

That's definitely nice to know there's other options. I always do NT and once in a great while LDW when in a pinch. Keeping this thread saved for when I make the big jump to AG

Sent from my SCH-I535 using Home Brew mobile app

 

[dogpoundbrewery]

We don't crush it the store employes crush it . The last time I went there I had them crush 30 lbs , the kids face was red and he was sweating like a champ lol

 

[orangemen5]

Lol. I use to crush it myself at consumers , before I bought a crusher. That's why I was asking. As long as your not doing the work who cares what they use. Besides the wait I guess.

 

[b-boy]

Does consumers sell bulk grain by the sack? How are the prices?

 

[orangemen5]

I know they sell sacks of dme. Never seen sacks of grain though. I remember one employ tell me they can order you certain things if you let them know ahead of time. Prices are fair. 10lbs of 2 row is $13.99. Marris otter was $15.99.

 

[tagz]

I asked them at one point and they quoted me about $70 a sack.

 

[orangemen5]

Prices aren't bad , but were spoiled from the group buys.
