CT Group Grain Buy

[forcabrew]

I am working to get this going again. Will post details very soon. Stay tuned.

I'm in whenever your ready. No rush on my end

 

[NuclearRich]

Wow it almost seems like we could get 2 whole pallets with all this preliminary interest! I am in for 1 whole bag, and if anyone would split a bag of caramel 80L I would love it.

 

[wrightbrew]

Alright folks. We are aiming to fill two pallets. I am collecting orders using a web-based tool called Masherator which helps make my life simpler and - supposing all goes smoothly - ought to make your orders easier to put together too.

One of the key features of Masherator is that it facilitates splits. If you want say...half a bag, simply add it to your order then change the quantity to .50 the other half will be displayed on the group page for anyone to claim. Just keep in mind, if no one claims the remainder of your split we can't actually order a partial bag. So there are no guarantees. But it generally works out pretty well.

We will discuss pickup timing as we get closer to filling the two pallets. Hit me up via PM if you run into problems.

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE PDF CATALOG?
For those looking for the product catalog (like last time) it is now built in to Masherator. When you click to add items to your order you are presented with the available items and prices. The place we are buying from requested that we not post their full catalog online so I posted just the pertinent bits. I apologize for any confusion this may have caused. - JW

Will this include all grains, Briess as well?

EDIT: I'm stupid. Now that I actually looked at the page I know the answer to my question: Yes, Briess is included.

 

[forcabrew]

where will you be ordering the grain from this time?

 

[joshs]

Added my order! Thanks for putting this together.

We are ordering through a friend who has an account with a homebrew supply wholesaler. I don't want to ruffle any feathers though so I don't feel comfortable sharing much more than that without a long, sober conversation with the account holder. (sober being the sticky wicket)

Good enough for me

Is the pickup near Hartford ?

The pickup location is in Windsor, CT so just a bit north of Hartford (Exit 39 & 41 off of Route 91). It's close to the highway but still a good 2 hour drive from Windham, VT!

 

[MSAstoria]

When is the target date for this delivery? I'd be in for 1-3 bags, and possibly a couple of splits.

 

[kaz4121]

not sure about target delivery date, but so far we have 38.45/80 bags accounted for on the order, so just about 50%.

 

[HBrew71]

Is this buy still on? If so is there an online catalog available?

 

[NuclearRich]

Yeah we are about halfway last I checked! Post #183 has the link to the site and all the info.

 

[HBrew71]

@NuclearRich Thanks. I will check it out.

 

[MSAstoria]

Just added on 3 bags and 2 splits.

 

[nukebrewer]

Added my order of two bags. This would be my second group buy and I'm just floored by how cheap grain is via group buy.

 

[fuzzyglasses]

Added 3 bags and half of the remaining half of a bag split of carapils. Is it OKAY to order a .25 bag and split 3 ways? This is the first time for a group order for me.

@NuclearRich I believe we met a few weeks ago at Luck and Levity. I brought the accidental Belgian IPA…. def have to trade some corked bottles sometime.

Hey Scott. I was there that night as well. Brought a growler of IPA in. Your Belgian IPA was great. I saw that Clown Shoes does a Belgian IPA. You may want to check it out. Or Ommegang's BPA may be similar.

I'm hoping that this group buy is still open after Christmas. Need to hold off on expenses until then.

Hey! Yeah that's right I really liked that beer. Definitely need to trade some beer soon.

Hey John, I remember you as well. I got a IPA (with Amarillo and Citra) very close to what you had that night and about to bottle it. We hope to make it to L&L to another one of those tastings after the New Year and bring the goods.

Also, maybe we can figure out how we can get the goodies from this group buy down to our area… I work in Rocky Hill during the week so it wouldn't be a stretch for me to go to Windsor to pick up your orders... whenever that might be.

 

[monsterbrewerMa]

I just added on 3 bags as well! Psyched I finally got in on a group buy!!

That sounds great. Thanks for the offer to transport. Let me know how I might be able to assist or make it worth your while.

I added my order. a sack of 2-row and a sack of wheat malt. I also picked up that 1/4 sack of Munich that was available.

 

[HBrew71]

Just added a few bags. 72 of 80 filled ... Almost there.

Any idea and/or interest in hops? Yeast?

 

[tomj]

Added two more bags to my order. 5.5 bags left. Just need a few people to grab an extra bag and this will go through

I would be interested in both if available.

 

[blueturtle00]

Damn looks like i can't add my order b/c the 30 max person limit was reached! Was hoping to hold off till after the holidays to make sure i had the funds, If I can bypass that I'll order the remaining bags needed to fill the order.

@blueturtle00 You can buy under my order if you want. Sent you PM.

Sorry about that! I can fix it...the limit doesn't need to be 30. I am out of town until Sunday. I'll fix it when I get back (it will make invoicing easier to have the orders separate) . But otherwise it looks like we are just about ready to go.

Also...I will post an update here regarding hops before we finalize things. It can be tricky b/c they go out of stock so often but we may be able to make something work. More later...

I saw the thirty person limit as well, when you adjust it count me in for two additional bags..

Anyone coming in from Central MA for the pickup?
