CT Group buy round 2

[kappclark]

Excuse me for putting in Do a separate hop buy. You would be better off contacting another company for hops. The guys in Tennessee us B. Crosby Hop Farm and we got great service and good prices. If you need any further help feel free to PM me.

OK - if this is true, then I am in for 3 bags, no hops

Do I need to specify #'s from catalog now ?? Let me know, please.

 

[ShaunZ]

Yes. Please specify what you want

 

[pernox]

If I can up my order to nine, I'd like to go with

Canada Malting 2-row x3
Canada Malting Pale Ale x3
Baird's Maris Otter x2
Baird's Vienna x1

If not, please drop one bag of Pale.

Are we at $2/bag shipping on this? Also, are we COD, or...?

 

[shecky]

CM 2-row (2)
Baird's MO (1)

 

[Wobbegong]

If the pick up is indeed in N. Haven, count me in for a sack of US 2-row pale.

 

[nediver]

If you have room. I would like;

1 bag BZ-PILS
1 bag BZ-WHT

 

[Daemin]

If there is any space left, I'd take

1 bag Bairds Marris Otter

As for pickup location, I'd prefer either New Haven area or Waterburry area, but willing to travel a bit...

 

[NuclearRich]

I don't believe I specified which item number I wanted. If anyone wants, I will split a bag of whatever. Just let me know so I can change my order before its too late. As of now :
Two bags of CM-2ROM please and thank you.

 

[kappclark]

1 bag CM-2ROW Canadian 2 row (pg 13)
1 bag CM-MUNH Munich Malt (pg 13)
1 bag BD-VIEN Vienna Malt (Pg 6)

 

[orangehero]

Would anyone be interested in splitting bags of:
CR‐DEXTR50 50lb Dextrose
CM‐RYEM Rye Malt

 

[ShaunZ]

Here is what I came up with so far. Please review and let me know if there are any corrections. Right now, I have a count of 39 bags from the original people who said they were in. I did not hear from a few people and their names don't have anything listed. I did hear from a few extra people and have included their requests. Let me know if anyone has any questions.

[kappclark]

Looks good to me .. thx for getting this together.

 

[banik]

I'll split the dextrose and rye with orangehero (can we get the dextrose? is it Briess?)

Also, I'd like:

3x CM-2ROW
1x CM-SPIL
1x CM-WHET
1x BD-MOPA

Let me know how payment works, etc.


Also, I'm in Bridgeport and can probably borrow a friend's SUV to transport whatever I can fit after I get mine in down south a bit. Maybe trade some homebrews ^^

 

[7tom]

2 - CM-2row for me.

Hoping someone can move these 2 bags from wherever they are received to NYC area or Westchester or Danbury. Please let me know, only 2 bags, should fit in back seat easy.

FYI- A pallet is 42 sacks. Looks like you have 39 original and 3 people on wait list, including me who would likely get on at 42 sacks. Also, you dont really need 42 sacks, you could go at 39 but shipping is over less bags so higher. I have done other group buys, I cannot volunteer my time in setting this one up, but I can share my experience to make this one run smooth. Has anyone stepped up to actually do the buy, coordinate, picked a drop location w/ a loading dock? Also, when we did ours for some reason pallet jack was not enough and the driver for CMG insisted we use the forklift. Also, concerning a quote...you are going to pay homebrew prices which are higher than those on catalog, unless you have homebrew catalog. It ends up being close to the 1500 lb prices, but not exact...its not enough to not proceed with buy.

next steps are;

someone step up to lead the buy
confirm grain orders. you snooze you lose, dont confirm next in line gets ur spot
contact CMG and get quote (takes a few days) prices will be different than online catalog
get quote back, send emails for payment, last min add/changes
get money thru paypal, again you snooze you lose and next in line gets on buy
call CMG, pay for order and arrange delivery. Typically we are one day out from them. We did a thurs/fri delivery window, with a pick up on the weekend. SAT. People are usually eager to get grain and also many have other ferry their grain for them...so its not a huge time commitment at the drop location

Hope that all helps. whomever is doing this buy...I am happy to get into more details. just PM me

 

[pernox]

Spreadsheet looks right - thanks for getting me at nine bags.

 

[tomj]

I just got off the phone with Country Malt and need to confirm a couple of things with the delivery. When placing the order, we need to tell them that we need a pallet jack on the truck. That way I can unload it with my forklift because I don't have a loading dock. Otherwise we would have to pay the $75 liftgate fee.

Good call.

 

[banik]

So- what still needs to happen?

If someone needs to handle the money and place the order, I have no problems doing that.

Is there a way to get around paypal fees?

I need:
Contact info for loading dock guy
List of who's getting what
account info for CMG and any details

 

[ShaunZ]

Let me finalize the spreadsheet tonight and repost it. I was also given the name of one of the guys here on the forum that has an account and would be able to place the order for us. I will send you a message with that info as well.

Looks like tomj is our contact for the delivery. Work with him on those details.

As for paypal, there is a way so no fees are charged. I forgot where I read about that. Hopefully someone will chime in with that info.

 

[ShaunZ]

Here is the updated spreadsheet. Let me know if any questions.

[nediver]

The fees for paypal to send gift are like a dollar.

The easiest way, and the way I've seen it done quite a few times, is that anyone paying with PayPal simply add 3% to their order to cover you. I always throw in an extra few bucks too, as a thanks and to cover someone who will invariably forget to add the 3% or doesn't get the whole math thing. I assume others do as well.

 

[banik]

My plan is to go through everything and get 'invoices' out tomorrow or Saturday. I've gotten the PMs from the appropriate people, and will update as appropriate.

Having the seller add any fees to their side sounds like the right thing. Details (and grain) to come.

 

[brewskerdoo]

FWIW, I don't incur any fees for sending or receiving money through PayPal. IIRC that is because my PayPal account is linked to my bank account rather than just my credit card.
And just to put it out there, for those western MA and VT guys in on this buy, if it helps you out, I'd be willing to transport your purchases up from North Haven to say the Springfield area. You can go ahead and PM me if that appeals to you.
