Columbus, OH group grain buy

[Chefencore]

It seems I brew when most people are taking a break - anyone know of any group buys in Cbus ohio?

 

[GuldTuborg]

Don't know of any, but I'm interested in being in the loop for whatever may be planned.

 

[JNeid26]

I'd like to be in the loop too. I brew pretty consistently...about once a month.

 

[theck]

Anyone from Cleveland interested?

I'm up by Toledo, but would be willing to make the trip down. I can ask the couple clubs I am involved with if any would want in as well.

 

[JNeid26]

I would be willing to be a Cleveland/Toledo mid point in Vermilion if planned on a weekend.

I'm in the Mansfield area and would be in for a couple of bags. Anyone know the min number of bags/pounds/dollars required to make a bulk buy? I'd be happy to transport bags from Columbus to Mansfield to save the guys up north a few hours driving. If my location is the most central I wouldn't mind making the order if it helps. Either way, I'm in.

 

[Beehemel]

I'm in Columbus and would probably be up for a bag or two. I'll check around and see if any of my friends would also want in

The last grain I purchased I got from label peelers on their big sale... if we can match or beat it I'm all in for getting more. This is what I got and the pricing (picked up, no ship, no tax):
1 x Avangard Malz Wheat Malt 55 lb (1866C) $40.49
1 x Briess Pale Malt 2 Row 50 lb (1928C) $37.75
1 x Avangard Malz Premium Pilsen Malt 55 lb (1850C) $37.49

If it's not even close I might wait on another sale to buy again.

 

[theck]

I can head this up if needed, stay at home father and all I do is look for deals all day, hav a truck too. In the Cleveland/Lakewood area if we can get a bit more from here. Label Peelers responded to my question about bulk:
----------------------------
We offer wholesale rates for homebrew clubs. Just use the code:
homebrewclub
During checkout and it will take an additional 10% off of the 10% sale we are currently having and you will save 20%.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
----------------------------

So, if we wait for a good sale say another 20% off then we could potential save 30% on top. I am down that way (Kent) a lot so can pick it up as well. Can someone who is able to do a new thread post a cleveland buy and refer them to this thread?

 

[Beehemel]

If there's interest, I can contact one of the local shops here in Columbus to see what they can do. Might also be able to contact one of the local microbreweries and get a discount through them if they order ours with theirs, not sure if there are any issues with that or not though (legally). I'll probably need a rough estimate of quantity and what will be ordered.

 

[gwaugh]

I'm definitely interested. Would be willing to drive to Columbus or Cleveland, equal distance for me. I'm pretty close to Toledo.

 

[jimyson]

I'm in. pm me when ready

Im in.

 

[gwaugh]

It seems we have a few people interested in a group buy. Anybody been involved in one before. We will need someone to organize, order and collect the money. I imagine we will need someone who has access to a shipping dock if we are filling a pallet or more. Any ideas/thoughts.

 

[GuldTuborg]

Beehemel was the only one, from what I can tell, that might have solid leads. Any news from him?

 

[Beehemel]

I sent an email to one of the LHBS in Westerville (Buckeye BrewCraft) to check pricing and see if he's willing to place the order. Once I receive a reply from him I'll pass along the information. If I'm thinking correctly, he could probably hold the bags and everyone would pick them up/pay him directly. I've never organized one of these before so if someone has another way to go about it, feel free to let me know.

 

[Beehemel]

Buckeye BrewCraft replied and said with an order of at least 6 bags he would price 2 row at $50. His normal price for a bag is $54 so he's giving a little break, but not as much as some of the other posts I've seen in this thread. I don't know what the prices would be if we could get together 10-20 bags, we might be able to get a little more off.

 

[J-FO]

We have a new LHBS opening in Mansfield which is interested in helping us with a bulk buy. They are getting me prices for Briess 2-row brewer's malt and 2-row 60L as a sampling. I hope to hear from them in a few days and I'll let you know what the pricing is.

 

[jimyson]

Would love to see it around $35-40 with shipping included to drop location. Also interested in bulk hops buy if anyone wants to take that on too.

I'd be down for a bag or two if this happens. Thanks

 

[jimyson]

Anyone up to the task of organizing this and checking to see if we can get a reasonable rate?

I can I'm a stay at home dad and all I do is look for deals.

 

[Chefencore]

Wow. and to think i started this thread a year ago… so what’s the time frame on this? has anyone looked into hops?

 

[theck]

Probably another year. I'm in Cleveland and running quickly out of grain... I am in for 2 sacks at least if not more. If you guys want let's get together how much grain we all want and then I can start calling around. Leave your forum handle, amount wanted and location maybe, maybe some local shops and numbers... Otherwise I'll call what's close to me which is a lot. Jw dover, label peelers, grape & granary, cle brew shop, and brew mentor.

 

[GuldTuborg]

I'd take a sack of MO, depending upon maltster and price. Well, and where pickup is. Columbus or Cleveland are fine, too far out and the extra gas will make the savings silly.

 

[jimyson]

jimyson is in Columbus, OH and is in for 4 sacks in any combination of 2-row and/or MO

 

[gwaugh]

gwaugh is in for 4 sacks- 2 each 2-row and MO. I'm equal distance from Cleveland or Columbus so either location is fine with me.

 

[thadeus_d3]

Thadeus_d3 is in Cleveland. I'd like 4 sacks. 2 each, 2 row and MO.

 

[theck]

Anyone else? I'll give it a good week or more then start calling. Can anyone connect the Columbus people to the Cleveland people? I'm down in the Kent and Akron area a lot so can meet whomever.
