CT Group buy round 2

[NuclearRich]

Since the last group buy went in a split second, I wanted to see if we could get another pallet. I can't provide a drop location, but I am willing to help however else I can. I myself will be taking 2 bags off the top of the order. Who's in?

Also, we need a person with a loading dock who can receive a pallet. Otherwise there is a charge, making it not really worth the buy. Volunteers?

 

[ShaunZ]

I'm in for a bag if this gets going.

 

[forcabrew]

I'm in for a few sacks if this all pans out.

 

[SPR-GRN]

I could be in for a sack o'grain; possibly 2, couple issues however
1.) don't have paypal, will pay with cash/postal money order
2.) I'm in NYC but up in CT on weekends; will iron out details when a pickup location can e determined.

Let's get this thing rolling! I have a lot of brewing to get done before the winter.

 

[kappclark]

at least 2 bags here ..

 

[brewskerdoo]

My LHBS just increased what I pay per lb by $0.30, so yea, I'm in for at least 2 sacks base malt.
If no one steps up with access to a loading dock, a friend of mine (New Britain, CT ) with a forklift, accustomed to dealing with tractor trailers, would be more than willing to help us out for a bottle or 3 of your best.
I'd also be willing to help out with the warehousing and distribution of the goods if that helps get this group buy in motion.

 

[shecky]

I'd be in for a couple bags.

 

[ShaunZ]

Looks like we are up to 13 bags if this gets going.

 

[brewskerdoo]

So ummm, do we actually have anyone with an account at North Country Malt Supply involved in this thread??

 

[kappclark]

Looks like we are up to 13 bags if this gets going.

Forget what is the minimum - 40 ?

 

[godrick]

I'm in for 4 sacks. Good point: is anyone involved who has an acct with NC?

[banik]

I'd be in for... 4-6 sacks.

I need motivation to get in to all-grain, and getting the grain would certainly qualify...

 

[pernox]

Bump. Any legs on this? Looking for 4-8 bags before winter.

 

[NuclearRich]

It seems we have a bit of interest, but we need someone with an account and also a shipping location. Once it is official, the pallet will fill fast.

 

[pernox]

Would be handy to piggyback onto a brewery's order with our own full pallet. Wish I knew a few more brewery owners.

 

[SPR-GRN]

Does anybody know the guys at Thomas Hooker?
They are a small brewery, I imagine they'd be interested in helping out homebrewers and maybe our order would help them out in return.

 

[tomj]

I would do 8 bags if possible

 

[banik]

That's 32 bags if we take everybody's minimum commitment. Is there anyone available who has an account with a grain supplier or know someone who does that would be willing to organize this? Either we are already passed the minimum or only 8 bags away.

 

[orangehero]

I'm interested in getting 3 bags.

 

[kappclark]

I was in for 2 , now I am in for 3 bags, and some hops

 

[ShaunZ]

Do we have anyone with an account that is willing to help us out with the purchase?

 

[godrick]

Guys,
I've located someone in the group who has a N Country account and who is willing to place the order for us. Now we need to decide (1) who will handle the cash and, (2) find a business shipping address with a loading dock or fork lift to receive the order.

Regarding #1 - I'm willing and have a PayPal acct, but am unfamiliar with processing $ between individuals. If someone else would like to handle this it's fine with me.

Regarding #2 - I have a friend locally (Pittsfield, MA) with the necessary shipping address & etc., but this location may not be convenient to everyone else.

I'm open to any suggestions.

What say you?

Frank (godrick)

 

[NuclearRich]

I say woot woot!
I will be away in Germany for Oktoberfest, so I hope I don't miss out. I will be checking my email daily and should be able to transfer money as well, but if this happens fast, I would need someone to hold my sack.

ahem.

lol

I'm happy with wherever there is a pickup! Usually there are some great people who can take a few extra bags for people and meet in a mutually convienent location. Hopefully that will happen for us to help everyone out. Unfortunately, I have a little car so I can't help.

I will be busy from tonight until I land on Thursday, but I am absolutely in. Conunt me for 2 bags of US 2row.

 

[7tom]

US 2-row, 2 bags would be my interest. Please let me know how it works, never did group buy.

 

[godrick]

So far:
Godrick - 6
NuclearRich - ?
7tom - 2

 

[brewskerdoo]

I am in for 3 bags.
If it helps speed this along and would help out some other members, I'm sure I could toss a few other peoples orders in the back of the truck and haul them back to central CT for pickup.

 

[ShaunZ]

I'm in for 1 bag.

 

[shecky]

Sack of 2-row, sack of MO here.

 

[orangehero]

3 sacks please.

 

[godrick]

Need 42 bags to make a pallet.
So far:
godrick - 6
NuclearRich - 2
7tom - 2
brewsekerdoo - 3
ShawnZ - 1
Shecky - 2
orangehero - 3

Total = 19
