Looks like there is still five# of Victory split. I'll take it (and if it's already closed or someone else wants it, I'm not wedded to it)
I'll take the remaining 15# of the Carafa II split. I think there is going to be a ton of black lager in my future.
Can I still get in on this? If so:
WEY1003 Weyermann® Pilsner 25 Kg (55 Lb.)
1 sack.
Going to go look at the remaining splits now.

To help the cause:
5# C80
10# flaked wheat
thank you!
I'll add 5# of the Rahr White Wheat to my order.
Come on guys - you know you want some of that Flaked Wheat! Get some!
Absolutely, would be happy to part with some of the D-Husked Carafa II if anyone is interested.
Paid Stonebrewer. I will be out of town on pick up day, but Fritz has offered to pick up my order. Thanks Fritz!
I could put it back to "15# available" so it's clearer that it's still, well... available. More chance for someone to grab it. Then at the end of the buy you can take the remainder if any is left.
Sounds good to me thanks Fritz.
I'll get those last #15 lbs of C-80L to help close it out. I don't mind parting with 5 lbs if someone wants to pick them up.
If we do that, once the "for grabs" amount shows 0, no-one is ever going to look at it again.
I can keep your offer "in mind" and at the end of the buy give you all that's left. Wanna do that? Or do you need/want to buy a minimum say 5# and take the rest later if any is left?
You're right, people will look right over it. How about you leave #5 up and if no one buys it by Thursday evening I'll buy it.
I'll propose a similar deal for the last 5# of the white wheat split:
If nobody buys it by late Thursday night, I will take it, and brew wheat beer all summer long.
First timer here. I'd like to get:
2 x BRI1002 Briess 2-row Brewers
1 x CRI1002 Crisp Gleneagles Maris Otter
I'll also pickup the last 5# of C-80L to help close that out.

I use 60% wheat in my Witbier, 4# wheat malt + 2# wheat flakes (5.5 gallons batch). It's nice and wheaty. I may go to 80% wheat next time.
So 3 batches can clear that 20# supply out.
Plus a pound of wheat is often used in other styles.
Wheat malt and wheat flakes in the same beer? People do this?
I'm just making the leap from extract to all-grain and my head is spinning: I just assembled my burner, and just ordered some parts to convert a cooler etc...too much data at once!
I better take 5# of the flaked wheat.
Added.
John Palmer says:
Flaked Wheat Unmalted wheat is a common ingredient in wheat beers, including: American Wheat, Bavarian Weisse, and is essential to Belgian Lambic and Wit. It adds starch haze and high levels of protein. Flaked wheat adds more wheat flavor "sharpness" than malted wheat. Use 0.5-2 lb. per 5 gal batch. Must be mashed with base malt.
I have a Hoegaarden clone in secondary. I threw 2 lbs of flaked wheat into the mash!
And my LHBS charges $ 2.40 per pound, so at $0.90 it's an absolute steal!

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

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.
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?
idont use flaked...only malt! and i can wait, i have enough carafa still to last me a year![]()
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!
