Bulk Malt in Denver?

[Buffman]

Can't argue the point, either. However, why are our LOCAL shops not buying a local product? I don't know anyone at The Brew Hut personally, or I'd bring it up.

 

[Grimtas]

Next time I'm at the Hut I'll ask the owner about it.

This is very true as well. I called the Western Country Malt, which isn't necessarily local, so I guess that is a legitimate answer from them. I do believe that Colorado Malting Company will sell to us.

I am still in for getting some Colorado malt. The only store I have found it in was Beer At Home. It was quite delicious, but far away from me to get some malt. I do like to support Hop To It, but like you said they don't have the local product.

 

[jamesnsw]

Beer at Home in Englewood has some Colorado 2-row.

 

[jarrman00]

I just ran out of grain. Is any one still in for this buy?

 

[Musketear]

I am definitely still in, and will actually be coming down for T-giving so I can pick it up then. I contacted Jason, and all we need it a 500 lb grain order for reduced prices. Who is still in? We had 500 lbs before... How much are you in for Jarrman?

 

[riverfrontbrewer]

I thought the minimum for the .65 per lb was 1000 lbs? I will be in Denver from Nov 29 - Dec 4 for classes at DU. I would be in for 100 at that price.

 

[jarrman00]

I am still in for 200 lbs. I won't be here next week, but I will be in Colorado from the 29 th on. So between DurangoHomeBrewMafia and myself that 300. How much are you in for Musketear?

 

[riverfrontbrewer]

Jarrman-

not on topic,but what is the "IRA Tax Time" beer that you have listed in your sig line?

 

[Grimtas]

if .65 / lb I'm still in for 200.

Edit: 27-30 works best for me as it's payday weekend so SWMBO won't miss it

 

[riverfrontbrewer]

Anybody in the Denver Metro want to QB this....obviously someone (or 2) that can take delivery. Like I said I will be in Denver (staying in Parker) for the week of Nov 29th-Dec 4th. I will send money pre my arrival to whomever does this if necesary.

 

[Labrat]

I live in Longmont and would like 2 bags (100 pounds) if I am not too late. I can probably arrange a delivery site for a pallet as well.

I would also be open to a bulk grain buy from North Country malt if the Colorado thing does not happen.

DurangoHomeBrewMafia: I always end up making names for the brews towards the ends when I have had a few home brews. The Tax Time is just a Hoppy Red Ale, at the time we thought it was called a Indian Red Ale. For some reason my friend that IRS was the IRA. Thus the name was born. (Long story for a crappy name)

I am up in Boulder, but I can front the money as well. If we need it I can see if they will deliver up here.

So thats 600 lbs with DurangoHomeBrewMafia, Grimtas, Labrat and myself.

 

[Labrat]

I can also send the money prior to ordering. Is there a larger discount at 1000 pounds? Has anyone used the Colorado Malt? How does it compare with Rahr or MO?

 

[Musketear]

So that is 700 lbs with DurangoHomeBrewMafia, Grimtas, Labrat, Jarrman, and myself. Enough for a discount anyway. Are any of you guys located in Denver to take the delivery?

I have heard only good things about it, but never used it myself. Either way it will probably be super fresh.

 

[Ridebreck]

I'll be buying a bag soon, but I'm in the Springs and will likely just pay the full bag price and meet Jason on his way up to Denver sometime.

 

[Grimtas]

Ridebreck
Im in the springs too and will pick up in Denver of this goes through. I could always bring yours back down for you as it will help reduce the overall cost on the group buy.

 

[riverfrontbrewer]

So-

me - 100
Jarrman - 200
Grimtas - 200
Labrat - 100
Musketear - 100
Ridebreck - ?

Anyone else? Do we need to send the guys at Colorado Malting an email and see if we can set up delivery somewhere/time? And get a confirmed quote for 700lbs/14 bags?

Like I said the only time I will be in Denver in the forseeable future is the 29th of Nov - Dec 4th.

Thanks!

I think it would be the most beneficial if we could at least get a half pallet (1000lbs) to really make it worth while for Colorado Malting. If Ridebreck comes in we are only 250 short that's only 5 bags. I might be able to talk SWMBO for an additional bag but that may be pushing it a bit.

 

[ColoradoXJ13]

I'm in for 150#, PM me with details for where/who to send money to. I'll be around until late December, could come get the grain whenever.

I am going to send an e-mail to a buddy, he may be interested as well. Are we still at $0.65/lb for 2-row? Any extras for delivery/etc?

It seems to me that we would not be getting 50# sacks though...did I read this wrong?
"It comes in 1000lbs bulk bags delivered for $0.60 cents per pound or in 50 lb bags delivered for $0.65 per pound."
So someone would have to split it or weigh it out and we would all have to bring containers of some sort....kind of a pain in the azz, but @ 32.50 instead of $50 for Rahr...could be worth it.

 

[riverfrontbrewer]

Yeah ColoradoXJ, I don't want any part of weighing hauling, etc. I want 50lb sacks. Thats why I think we need to make sure we get a somewhat detailed quote from CO Malting, just so we all know what we're getting.

 

[riverfrontbrewer]

I just sent Jason at CMC an email on price points, 50lb sacks, delivery, etc. Will report back.

 

[ColoradoXJ13]

my buddy is in for 1x50# sack as well, so 200# for me, I'll front the cash for him.

 

[Grimtas]

ColoradoXJ,
It should come in 50lb sacks, It's not Rahr but Colorado Grown and malted barley. The reason for the 1000lbs goal is I believe that's the requirement for the .65 per pound quote.

Your 200 puts us closer at 900lbs only 100 more to go

 

[jarrman00]

Buffman: are you in for any grain? I know the thread was high jacked, but you were initially looking for some grain.

900 lbs. Nice. Is there any Colorado threads we can ask in?

 

[Grimtas]

There's also the CO Dependency group

[Buffman]

I've been watching this thread and debating whether I need more (Jason brought me 50# before this group buy got rolling). I'm in for another 50#. At the rate I brew, I won't go through more grain than that before it gets stale.

What does that get us to, 950?

Yeah, I know its not Rahr, but I usually buy Rahr @ $50/50# sack, I could care less what the base malt is that I use, I always buy the cheapest and my beer is always great (except for the not so great ones )

I don't believe that it coming in 50# sacks has been confirmed yet though...

 

[riverfrontbrewer]

Hey all-

Still waiting on a reply to the email I sent him late yesterday.....
