DC Area Group Buy #11

[reddskinnfan]

My favorite is Best Malz, but that was when we weren't buying from BSG.

That said, there isn't much different between Weyermann and them.

Heads up, if you are looking to build another kegerator or fementation chamber, there is a Sanyo 4912 on Craigslist Baltimore:

<Updated 2014-DEC-06 to remove all but wheat split>

Can you put me down for:

35# RAH1008 Rahr White Wheat 50 lb

Thanks!

 

[IslandLizard]

Can you put me down for:

1x RAH1002 Rahr Standard 2-Row 50 lb
1x RAH1005 Rahr Premium Pilsner 50 lb

I'd also be interested in starting the following splits:
35# RAH1002 Rahr Standard 2-Row 50 lb
10# RAH1005 Rahr Premium Pilsner 50 lb
35# RAH1008 Rahr White Wheat 50 lb
35# MUN1001 Muntons Maris Otter 25 kg (55 lb)

(Totally flexible on the wheat and MO splits if people would prefer splitting a different brand)

EDIT: Just saw the note about not splitting base malts...If that's still frowned upon, I'll bump by 2-row up to 2x full sacks, and drop the pilsner split. Do wheat and MO count there?

Just saw your edit...
Yeah, I don't see the point of splitting those 2 base malts? I can understand the Wheat and the MO in some ways, but not common 2-row and Pilsner. Maybe a specialty Pilsner

Splitting is a lot of work and those 2 make little sense, particularly in the light of you're getting a sack of each anyway.

Makes sense...updated to remove the 2-row and pilsner splits, and added another sack of 2-row. Can we keep the Wheat and MO as splits (understanding that I'll take the whole sack if no one wants in)?

 

[gmhowell]

Anybody have any thoughts on the pilsners available? Planning a couple batches of American premium lager and some Oktoberfest.

[EDIT] Computer was crashing while typing my previous answer, so I submitted quickly. Surprised it did go through, even the input box was still open after restarting. I suspect the graphics card.

Yeah, Wheat and MO are fine for splits.
Added: 2x Rahr 2-row and 1x Pilsner, Splits of 35# of Muntons MO and 35# of Rahr White Wheat Malt.

HU:
We're quite a bit out from ordering and distributing this buy, looking at around March most likely. Hope you're not in dire need for those grains.

This White Wheat split is now closed. That was quick.

I hate to do this, but I'm going to have to back out altogether. I need the base grain by the end of the month/early January to fill a barrel, and I'll have moved out of the area by March. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Thank you for letting us know. Hope your next residence has lots of brew space.

Order removed, no problem.

Another HU:
At the pickup on the 22nd, 3 Stars had half a pallet of sacks of TF "Optic" malt for $42. They had it leftover and were selling them at cost. I took one. The raw grain tastes really good, haven't brewed with it yet.

 

[stonebrewer]

I hope we get this one filled quite a bit earlier...like Jan. I plan to brew a LOT over the holidays and that will deplete my base grains for sure...

thrillhouse the Optic is supposed to be awesome as a base grain. I would give them a call at the HBS and see if the offer is still valid. That is at cost, so it is a good deal. Cheers!
<EDIT> I sent them an email to see if they still have it...will post when I hear back.

 

[sweetcell]

when i heard that the next group buy might not happen until march i picked up a bag of the $42 Optic (thanks stonebrewer!).

i'm a fan of optic. one of the best beers that i have ever brewed was an amarillo/optic SMaSH (called "yellow vision" - pretty clever, right?). might need to brew that one up again.

I'm in the same boat - I was hoping for January, but figuring on February. How long would it be until we have a better idea on the actual date?

 

[IslandLizard]

To make it worth our while and 3 Stars', we're always looking to get around 40 sacks, one pallet, at minimum. If you guys can fill that by the end of this month (Dec. 26th), you can have your grains mid January.

Gotcha...you may want to put that info in the header post - it makes it sound like these are just sacks that get tacked onto a store/brewery's regular order.

I'm gonna back out then, as I'll need the grains before March. I'll go back and edit my posts to remove my 2x2-row, 1xPilsner, and 35#/MO. I'll stay committed to the wheat split so I don't screw Kisejohn over (unless there are other people who want to take the 35#), since I won't need that until later anyway.

Sorry for the confusion/hassle.

Best NOT to edit those posts, just send a new one with the changes!

EDIT:
You may drop your 35# share of White Wheat Malt or keep it, just let us know.

The original post is a bit optimistic about the time intervals, it was copied and adapted from previous buys. But we've not been having these buys every few weeks. The one before last was a week after Labor Day, 9/6. The last one was 11/22. That's 10 weeks in between!

If you want to buy some more later, just let us know in a new message, don't change previous posts, we're not looking back, don't worry.

Order Status: We're at 2 sacks total, right now.

 

[AfroHopster]

Munich malt
carafoam
crystal malt 60L
melanoiden malt

Off topic:

My new keggles...

Where did you get your HERMS coil bent? I bent mine by hand, looks like ****.

 

[emyers]

I leave 20 feb for TX... as long as the pickup is before 14 feb put me down for a split start for,

#20 CAS1034 Château Special B® 25 Kg (55 Lb.)

Château Special B&#8482; can be used to produce a deep red to dark brown-black color and fuller body. Château Special B&#8482; brings forth unique flavors and aromas, making it a powerhouse specialty malt. It gives intense color and raisin-like flavors while imparting a rich malty taste and a hint of nut and plum flavor as well. May substitute Chocolate and Black malt if bitterness is not desired.
