DC Group Buy #5

[reddskinnfan]

I'll take whatever C20 you need to get rid of, don't need it particularly but I'll use it of course eventually! If anyone else is jumping at it no problem.

Steve da sleeve

I would be happy to join on C20, too, if split 4 ways.

Any interest in the White/Red Wheat split??

 

[funnycreature]

Is there still some 10# of C20 and C40 left? I just grabbed some C60 form Stony yesterday... What's the status of darker crystals? Might be interested in a few pounds of those, although not 10+.
Cheers!

I'll add you and stevedasleeve to the C20 split list for 12.5# each. We need one more participant for C20.

I still have 40# of red wheat left or I would split one with you.

Yeah, we could use one more buyer to close out the C20 at 12.5# each.
Do you want me to add you to the C40 too and see if we can drum up some more brewers?

Mind you C40 is currently NOT on the current price list, but we can ask stonebrewer if we can add it if there is enough interest. Same story for C80 and C120. I put them on the list to see if there was interest in the other crystals.

I agree that 10# of the darker crystal can be too much to stock. Jeez, 1/4# of 120 is usually enough in an amber. The stuff keeps well in sealed thick bags in a bucket. But we could do 1/6 or 1/7 splits. Just need the round up the folks

I'd prefer 10# of the C20 but I'm using it enough to take 12.5 since it's half price compared to local shop.
Sure, put me down for C40 but I'm not devastated if it doesn't work out... I still want to support my LHBS with my specialty grain buy! :rockin:

You're on the schedule now (mssg #33).
I hear you on supporting the LHBS. But $2.25+ a pound for crystal/cara malts?

Thanks!
I actually pay only $2 per pound, no matter what grain.

@Stony: I might also be interested in some CaraPils if it's still fresh :fro:

 

[stonebrewer]

Carapils bag was just opened so it seems fresh. Remember most grains these days, when stored properly, have a shelf life of 2-3 years...

My office has been designated to hold the grains, some brewing equipment, fermentation chamber, microscope, stir plate, bottles etc... I think the grains will feel at home Didn't mean to criticize or doubt you

 

[jnr1005]

I will take:

(1) sack Weyermann Pilsner
(1) sack Rahr 2 row pale malt

*Is there any chance we might get 3 more people for a split on another bag of C60 again? I would love some of this, but not in a huge amount.

* If you can find the buyers to split 5-7 ways like mentioned above, I would be interested in the C80 or C120...

 

[stonebrewer]

jnr1005: welcome to the group buy! I have a lot of C120 so if you want a pound or more I can hook you up. Also if you want a couple of pounds of C60, I always have some on hand so that should not be a problem either. I have about 3 pounds now and am getting 12.5 with this buy.

 

[stonebrewer]

UPDATE on C60: So fyrewtr thought the split was on the current Buy #4, not this one. So his 12.5 pounds is up for grabs...

Thank you! I would love to get 2 lbs of C120 if possible.

I will be glad to take the 12.5lbs of C60... and I'm a she

Is the C40 12.5 lbs? If so, add me to the list and I will take it just to have on hand. Just got started so I'm stocking up on a few things I see in a lot of recipes I want to brew. I convinced my buddies to brew beer since we drink so much craft brew and so far I have brewed 2 batches last weekend, 2 more this!

 

[IslandLizard]

Oh sorry, thank you for the correction.

I started with 10# each on the newly added crystals, hoping a 5-way split would be easy to attain. But if push comes to shove at closing time, we may need to settle for 4-way @12.5 each. I can handle that amount and you can't beat the price. I'll add yours to the list.

Yes, it is good to have some basics in stock. That way you can always brew beer. Keep recruiting brewers! I always like doing 2 batches back to back, but it doesn't always happen.

 

[IslandLizard]

Stonebrewer, could you check with the supplier on availability and price of C40, C80, and C120 for this buy?

Please add 2 sacks to this buy's order:
1x C20
1x C60

Thanks!

 

[stonebrewer]

We can and have gotten C40 and C80 at the same price as the C20 and C60. I don't think we can get C120, but again I do have 10 pounds or more that I can make available to anyone that wants a pound or two. I will ask about the C120 but expect a no...might be pleasantly suprised though. C120 is one of those grains like special b that I find a little goes a long way.

Ah, forget about the 120 for now then. There are no takers so far. I'll be happy to take 1 or 2 pounds from your stockpile. But if we all do...

Yeah, I know that stuff's potent. Same for Special B, which is like 150°L. For some maltier styles I just like layering these crystals rather than 1.5# of C60/80.

Word! I just found my month-long lost bag of special B so now I have a good 1.5 lbs which should last me some time.

 

[stonebrewer]

With splits that have closed, I believe we are currently at 21 sacks...

 

[reddskinnfan]

I would also be happy to take 15# of Carapils off you at pick up, Stone. Let me know if that works.

Total for me, if splits work and Stone has some Carapils for me:

3 x Rahr 2-row
1 x Rahr Premium Pils
12.5# C60
15# Carapils

Thanks for adding me to the C20 split. I am also gonna bite the bullet on a full bag of Red Wheat.

That puts me at:

3 x Rahr 2-row
1 x Rahr Premium Pils
1 x Red Wheat
12.5# C60
12.5# C20
15# Carapils

 

[IslandLizard]

With splits that have closed, I believe we are currently at 21 sacks...

I'm counting 24:
20 from the last tally

Current sack total: 20 sacks - halfway home!

2x jnr1005
1x C20
1x C60.
That does not include the sack of Red Wheat reddskinnfan added.

So, to me it looks we are 25 now. Please correct me if your information is more up-to-date, maybe there were some retractions.

 

[stonebrewer]

I have the following:
stonebrewer - 2 sacks
jasonvt - 3 sacks
physicist - 2
Pikesville - 1
reddskinn - 4 (now 5)
claphamsa - 3
robfor - 1
stevedasleeve - 1
jnr -2
splits - 2

That's 21 before updating reddskinn to 5 sacks. Current count is 22 unless I am missing something.

 

[stonebrewer]

I am thinking we might want to do a split on CaraPils as people on Buy #4 have been taking big chunks of the sack I have. So I will add a sack of CaraPils to this order and I will take whatever doesn't get snapped up. Right now I have reddskinn taking 15#, IslandLizard 20#, and funnycreature wants "some". That leaves 15# minus "some".

Just as a reminder on how splits work. Whoever proposes the split, collects money from everyone in the split and pays me. You can split at my house, but PLEASE remember to bring a bucket or sack or something to take your goodies in as I don't keep a lot of bags laying around the house. Paypal works best for splits, and paying me, so please seriously consider it. If you link it to an existing checking or savings account, it is free to gift a friend, which is how you should be doing these transactions. It is the easiest way to do these group buy things.

So with the Carapils split, we are now at 23 sacks.

 

[stonebrewer]

As we talked about yesterday, IslandLizard and I are taking the flaked wheat split 50/50. If anyone wants some, please let us know and we can add you on. I doubt I need 25 pounds of it, so if others want a few pounds, they can get it at the group buy pickups.

That makes 24 sacks.

Can I get 5 lbs of CaraPils if available? Not sure how much "some" is...

 

[stonebrewer]

jnr1005: you are down for 5# of carapils. I think funnycreature only wanted a pound or three.

Cheers!

You know it Tony! I'll take 2 pounds.
