Central Ohio Group Buy?

[Wolfhound180]

Oh and you will probably never complain about the "heat" up here in Ohio again.

 

[calebstringer]

Texas.... Ugghhh. Just give it back to Mexico.

Just a bump to see if we can get this group buy Rollin!

"Heat" in ohio is very real. Ive worked in alabama, Louisiana, and Mississippi as well. Bush wacking in rubber pants (waders). It all sucks in my opinion, each in their on way. I actually hate Nebraska heat the most as there is no cover in the whole damn state.

Any way i wont be in ohio more than a couple week long breaks until the end of september. Ill email my buddy or call him when im driving to Nebraska this next wed or thurs day i hope. If anything comes of it i will let you all know. Sorry again for delay and lack of movement on my part.

Cool. We must have different definitions of heat then. Ohio heat is a joke to me. It's relative to what a person is used to I guess.

Yeah i'm fat, 59 degrees is too hot for me.

Haha I'm trying to join the fat club also recently!

Couple of months later... I live near Athens and would definitely be interested in a group buy. Let me know if this is still a possible thing.

 

[Brewphish]

I'm in Cbus and would definitely go in for a group buy of grain and/or hops.

A community hop garden sounds awesome too, planning to plant my first this coming spring. Wonder if we could get something going in Whetstone or another city park.

Also, am I the only one that gets supplies at The Winemakers Shop on High St? They are pricey, but almost always have what I need for grains, hops, and yeast (with the exception of White Labs). Plus I like that I can call ahead and have everything ready for me when I get there.

I still shop Gentiles, but WMS is closer and takes less time to get in and out. Of course that may be because WMS doesn't sell beer

 

[Easily_Distracted]

I would probably be up for a GB. Thougt about starting growing some hops also but I thought the time and space needed would probably be prohibitive.

I go to the Wine Maker's Shop also. The small items like racking cane clips, carboy thermometer strips, washers and stands are what I find the biggest discrepancy in price on. I usually just suck it up though, because I'm a newbie and still like seeing and holding the things in my hand while I figure out my plan in my head. Other items that are large and/or heavy seem to be priced fairly once you factor in the shipping.
I also scour the restuarant supply stores.

 

[Dolomieu]

Well my buddy has moved away so i no longer have a lead on bulk grains.

 

[Easily_Distracted]

I should have my AG setup completed sometime before spring so I'm going to be interested in getting some grains. Anyone have any ideas or leads? Would a local shop do a discount for larger quantities? Would a local brewery sell some on the side? I'm open to ideas.

I am part owner of a business in downtown Columbus, I do have a loading dock and forklift available. I know that to order from L.D. Carlson, located in Kent, Ohio, which is where Gentile's and the wine and homebrew shop gets most of their stuff (I believe), you have to have a retail storefront, be approved, because they don't want you to be too close to another distributor, and have to come up with a $2000 prepaid first order. Your account is also reviewed after a year to see if you make the yearly purchase requirements. If the brewery that might help out homebrewer's is the Elevator, my business is about a block away further north down fourth st. than the brewery, not their restaurant, which is on high st.

 

[Hugh_Jass]

I've run several group buys through MCM. IIRC, we capped it at 100 bags. I'll probably run one again in the fall. Several folks from your area participated in the last one. I know it's much help for you now, though. If you can wait until fall, I always advertise the buy here.

Bump. Any interest?

 

[MedicMang]

I am. Any way to see a pricing list? When would this happen?

 

[Ajgeo]

I am still interested.

 

[Dolomieu]

I am also interested

 

[DubBrew]

Interested.

 

[JoeCap09]

I would also be interested soon too. Just about to finish up my first AG setup here in the next couple of weeks.

 

[Hugh_Jass]

If you're interested, please contact me at<email removed>.

I'll start a thread in the group buy section tomorrow.

 

[Hugh_Jass]

Apparently I'm not permitted to create a thread in the group buy because I haven't joined the club.

I have no interest in contributing monetarily to this board.

If you're interested in the buy, send an e-mail to the above listed address.

EDIT: The pick up would be in Mansfield

 

[orion7144]

Anyone in the Columbus area available to pick a few sacks up for me and I can meet in Columbus so I don't have to drive to Mansfield from Cinci? I am on the list for 3 sacks plus splits if anyone is interested.

I possibly could. I am going up to Cleveland and coming back down to columbus on march 17th. Would I be able to pick up that day??

 

[orion7144]

That would be nice. Not sure how long it takes once the order is placed

 

[tony579]

I'd be interested if this is happening.

 

[MedicMang]

Would anyone be interested in splitting some bags? I'd like to try golden promise, optic, and halcyon from Fawcett. If I can get two others that would like to try this, we can split it three ways and try all three for the price of a single bag. 18.3 lbs a piece.

Or even better, 3 more people and we can throw pearl in there too and have 13.75 lbs of each grain. I think it would be a fun experiment.

Any takers?

 

[Hugh_Jass]

Invitations sent. If you've asked for info and have not received anything from me, please resend the request.

 

[QuercusMax]

I already PM'd you, and I'm definitely interested... located in Twinsburg.

 

[pannell77]

where can I get info on pricing?

 

[JoeCap09]

PM Hugh_Jass and he will send your the information.

 

[Hugh_Jass]

It looks as if this buy has reached capacity. If something changes, I'll post here again.
