Trying to help close out the last splits. I'll take 5 lbs of the Flaked Wheat.

Added. Thanks for helping out.

Current Status (2 days left):
59 sacks, 3 of those are open splits with only 25# to go. We're almost there.
Keep gobbling up those splits while they last.

Open Splits:
Weyermann D-Husked Carafa II 15#
Flaked White Wheat 5#
Rahr White Wheat 5#

 

[BrewSavage]

Think Wheat!

 

[claphamsa]

Frtiz.

if it gets down to it Ill take the last 5 lbs of wheat...about 50% of the beers I brew have wheat in them! I could also take 5 lbs of carafa, since it will last about 10 years.

As if the beer can't stand on its own and be sexy by itself for what it is.

I've been called worse

Do you want to claim them now or wait till the end, then take whatever is left of those 2?

Which one, wheat malt or do you want the flakes?

 

[CervezaMaLa]

I'll claim the last 5# of wheat malt, closing it out (and bringing my wheat malt total to 10#).

If it isn't claimed, I'll also take responsibility for the last 5# of flaked wheat since it's my open split...unless claphamsa actually wants it and you're not just claiming it to help close it.

Thanks!

I sent the payments for my order. My husband, Mike, will be picking up for me since I already have plans that day that keep me away. I'm kinda sad though, cause I was looking forward to meeting my fellow group buyers. Next time I guess.

What should I have him bring for the splits? What works best to put them in?

Thanks to IslandLizard and stonebrewer for being willing to invest time into making this work for us! I truly appreciate it!

If I understand you correctly, you'll take 5# of Carafa II but let the wheat malt go for next buy?

Not sure about claphamsa, if he wants the wheat malt now or wait till next time.

But you'll get last 5# of flaked wheat at the end, if no-one else wants it.

Received, thank you.

Yes, it's a pity you can't be there yourself. We always like to meet the new buyers and put faces with them. And we sometimes have a little social gathering at the end which makes it even more worthwhile.

Plastic bags is what we generally use, do bring some of those- especially the thicker kind. Bucket are good too if you get there early to do the splitting.

No fancy bags, we use grocery bags, and yes the thicker the better. Let's raid Wegmans checkouts.

Now Keith often brings a large stack of plastic buckets with screw lids for us to keep, but it doesn't sound like he's able to make it this time. Unless someone picks them up from his house, we're stuck bagging everything, so we do need bags.

I'll bring all I have, including leftovers from last time. We've got 94 splits, that's more than ever before, so maybe people can bring some of those buckets back, mostly for the larger split quantities 10-20 pounds.

OK, you get the last 5# of wheat malt.

And you get 5# of Carafa II.

Errrr, what beer?

NOTE: As Frits said, please everyone who is taking a split try to bring some grocery bags, extra if you have them, or people will be taking grain home in their pockets (TIC)!

 

[reddskinnfan]

When is pickup slated to occur? I may have a bag or three to add if it works in my favor.

Do they still have bags of Optic, as well?

That's funny... Feb 14.

Been a bit busy lately, so haven't had much time to monitor thread...

That said, brewing is about to get real serious, real quick!

 

[emyers]

FYI Afrohopster is picking up the grain splits for me.

 

[gmhowell]

Oh, I'm an idiot. I didn't think I had gotten in on this. I really don't need two sacks of Pils. I want to drop the Rahr, keep the Weyermann. Money for the Weyermann on the way.

 

[stonebrewer]

Last I checked a week or so back they still had sacks of Optic at the store...who knows by Valentines day?
