If you do not have the list and want it, please let me know and I will PM you a link to download the latest prices.

Doctor M: No idea. Three factors, all out of my control, determine when the grain arrives: 1) demand. people on this forum ordering the 40 sacks required for me to send in an order; 2) the buyer: once I get the order in to him, he has to get it to the wholesaler and this can takes days or even a week; 3) the wholesaler: he needs to receive and process the order, put the pallet together, arrange the shipment. This can take a week to even three weeks. On #1, demand seems high as we are at 20 sacks already in about 2 weeks. So this one may happen quicker as the summer is winding down and people are starting to stay home (and brew!) more. Or it could stall for a month...no idea. My advice is to get in on a buy and not worry about it again until your grain arrives. I periodically order on the buy myself and try to keep 3 months or more supply on hand in case a buy takes longer. I will PM you the list...

...as the summer is winding down...

Thanks stone brewer, I received your pm.

Question: What is the difference between rahr 2 row brewers malt and rahr pale malt. I'm trying to brew the pliney 3.0 Version from bertusbrewery.com

 

[DrunkleJon]

Pale is kilned a little higher and as a result is a bit darker and has a bit more character.

 

[funnycreature]

I'll take a Rahr 2-row pale malt, please.

 

[masonsjax]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I've heard that pale malt is supposed to mimic the flavor of Maris Otter.

 

[stonebrewer]

I use both 2 row and pale and cannot detect a difference in them in the final product. Pale is a bit darker, but it is not more than another 1-2 lovibond. Some say they taste a bit more cracker or bread flavor, but my pallet is not sensitive enough to the flavor difference to tell a difference. YMMV...but I would buy the cheaper 2 row unless you just want to try pale for a change of pace.

 

[reddskinnfan]

Could you get me a price list and types of grains available?

I used to buy when Claphasma ran a buy, but I took a hiatus fr brewing. Back to the grimd now and need grain!

Thanks,

Mike

 

[Royski]

I'd like

2 x Rahr Premium Pils
1 x Crisp Maris Otter

Thank you,
Roy

reddskinnfan: PM sent

We are at about 23 sacks on this buy, so over halfway there. A few people have told me they are going to order on this one, so if you are fence sitting, make a decision as I suspect it will close quick as school is about to start and people are spending more time at home, brewing. I think I will snag a few sacks this go around as well. Time to get the pipeline filled back up. Cheers!

 

[stevedasleeve]

Hi all - since you are all local to me I thought I'd let you know that I'm getting rid of my two fridges: one I use for fermentation - fits two 6.5 gallon carboys + two 5 or 6 gallon bb with some ingenuity. If you put in a shelf it could easily fit more ( I broke mine and haven't bothered to replace it.) pretty clean and a great temp controlled fermentation chamber if you add a controller.

I also have another I use for keg layering which fits maybe 5-6 ball lock kegs. I also use the freezer on this one to store my hops.

If you bring me a bottle of tequila for each and can pick them up one or both are yours!

Let me know soon b4 I put these on Craig's list.

[reddskinnfan]

I am interested in ferm fridge. Got pics? What kind of tequila you like?

 

[stevedasleeve]

Steve

 

[CaptainAl]

1 x C20

Thanks!!

[stonebrewer]

All: Talking to our buyer this week and he said that VA state sales taxes have gone up. I will have to update the prices based on this (tax rate went from 5% to 6%). Sorry to bear bad news...

 

[neomantra]

I'll take 1 Briess Golden Light DME (and a new price sheet when it's ready for future reference).

 

[stonebrewer]

That's 25 sacks. I am probably going to snag 2-3 sacks on this order as well. Planning on doing some serious brewing once I get back from San Diego!! Drinking a PtE clone right now that is soooo good! Double Jack is next, and then a barley wine and a saison.

Anyone interested in some small whiskey barrels? I have a lead on 8 gallon barrels for $140 each, plus shipping, if we can put together an order of 10. I am thinking I want one or two.

 

[IslandLizard]

Oh, this one is moving fast.
Stonebrewer, please put me down for:

2 x Rahr Premium Pils
1 x Crisp Maris Otter

Thanks!

 

[stonebrewer]

Fritz: you got it bud! That puts us over 30 with what I am planning to buy.
