Is there a specific reason you all are going Wheat DME and not light? I'm interested for starters and yeast growing but always use light?

I use wheat and light DME for starters interchangeably. I don't think it makes a difference. Regular starters are a minimal additional to my 5.5 gallons of wort and big starters (for big OG or lagers) I decant. I am currently in for 10# of the open wheat DME split but can switch to the light DME if that one closes instead. I am just hoping to score some DME this round as last time the Briess DME didn't make it and I am completely out of DME for my starters.
 
I'll take 5# of murphyslaw golden light DME split as well.... if it closes, but it seems that there might be enough interest.

I'm in for 10# of the wheat DME. I would change to light DME if folks want to. Either way, I am low on DME and am hoping either split closes.
 
I'm not seeing this one on the spreadsheet, but I'll take 10#

I opened the split a day or two ago but the spreadsheet doesn't have it yet.

It looks like we should be able to work out the DME. I'll go up to #15, which I think will get us down to #20 remaining. That's #15 for me, #10 for duckbrown, and 5 for peter78. Are you jumping on this too, joehova44?

I was going to offer to switch to wheat, but it looks like that one gained some serous ground in the past hour or so.

If my math is right, these are the remaining splits:

Briess DME Golden Light 20
Briess DME Bavarian Wheat 5
Crisp Pale Chocolate 20
Briess Dark Chocolate 15
Flaked Barley (Unmalted) 20
Flaked Corn 20

Briess Caramel 20L 35
Briess 2-Row Caramel 40
Briess Victory 50 lb 40
Château Biscuit 40
Rice Hulls 40


I'm the only one on the last 5 so those will probably not close out. If that's the case, please just cancel. I don't need 50lbs of rice hulls.

I'm in the same boat as German_HB, our DME split didn't close last buy. I don't need wheat specifically but I will use it for starters and probably to knock out some quick beers.
 
I'll help with some splits.

5# pale chocolate
5# dark chocolate
5# any DME
 
i will know its late anyone want to split a sack of golden naked oats with me?? SIM1071
 
I will take #5 of either DME. I prefer light but will also take either as long as on closes
 
Is it bad form to open a bunch of splits this late in the game? If there aren't any takers on my splits I'd rather strike it from my order than buy the whole bag.

Thanks!

Full Sacks
2 x RAH1004 Rahr Pale Ale 50 lb

Existing Splits:
10# 1926C Briess 2-Row Carapils Malt 50 Lb

New Splits
25# WEY1003 Weyermann Pilsner 25 kg (55 lb)
20# 3201D Flaked White Wheat 50 lb
15# BRI1041 Briess Caramel 20L 50 lb
10# BRI1036 Briess 2-Row Caramel 60L 50 lb
10# BRI1055 Briess Victory 50 lb
10# CAS1051 Château Biscuit 25 Kg (55 lb)
10# 3262C Rice Hulls 50 lb Bag
10# 3441C Briess DME Golden Light 50 lb

I guess it's a long shot these will close but I'll jump on:

5# Victory
10# Rice Hulls
 
I think we need to nail down who wants what from each DME split. The last few takers haven't been specific.
 
You guys are killin' me!! :D;)

PLEASE CHECK THE SHEET! I made a lot of changes tonight, got interrupted several times, and fat fingered it at least once which I hope I caught and fixed. Here is what is open:

Briess DME Bavarian Wheat 10
Briess Dark Chocolate 10
Flaked Barley (Unmalted) 20
Flaked Corn 20

I took the last 10# Golden DME.

NOTE: I did not add all of murphyslaw's splits because I don't think they will close AND because I do not have room in the spreadsheet without reorganizing it, which I fear doing last minute and messing things up. The sheet has room for 25 split items (we are at 24!!) and 30 split participants. I have already had to increase the # of participants to a record 33. I will update it before the next buy to do 50 people and 50 malts so we don't run into this again...or so the theory goes. If more of his splits take off tomorrow, I will add them...somehow! Cheers!
 
NOTE for the new folks...and some of you old folks who are forgetful like me: :)

If a split is not closed, it will NOT be added to your total. So if you are on splits that have not closed it is generally better to wait until FRI night to pay so you pay the right amount and I don't have to track you down over a 5# split.

I had wanted 10# of the light DME - guess that didn't happen. Will take the last 10# of the Wheat DME then. Thanks so much for making sense of all these orders and splits!

Sorry...the DME got confusing as hell today. You originally had the Wheat. If you want to switch to the Golden, I am happy to give you the 10# I claimed as I do not need it and was just closing the split. That would mean there is 20# of Wheat DME left, as I still have you down for 10# of that. Your call, I am good any way this goes.

Cheers!

Tony,

I paid for my splits. Could you or some else hold my order until the next buy. I will be traveling in Germany when the pickup occurs.

Cheers,

Kirk

Tony, if you don't need the Golden - I'd prefer it instead of the wheat. Thanks again for managing this chaos.
