E/SE Nebraska group buy 1/2014

[Marc77]

Don't worry, as I said earlier between my brewing partner (brother in law) and I we'll probably order 2 if not 3 bags of the 2 row. That's an insane price on that.

Then possibly split one or two with ya sfgoat. Just need to make sure he wants some of the chocolate, not sure about the roasted barley though.

Any takers on a split of a Munich Malt 10L bag? We've been making a Three Floyds Zombie Dust clone on HBT and for a 10 gallon batch we only use 2.25 lbs of it.

 

[Stovetop535]

Let me check my basement tonight after work and see what I have of the 10 left.

I have lots of 10 left, you will have to count me out on that one.

That's cool, anyone else looking to split a bag of Munich Malt 10L?

Also how does payment for all of this work out? I've never been part of a group buy before.

I send out invoices to the email you used for brewbuys, then you can pay via paypal.

 

[tre9er]

Have we not hit 20 yet?

Just barely, and that includes my 6 bags, which I'm not certain I can do that many or not. Surprised the interest is so low this time. Or are people just not aware of it?

The past few orders have been between 40-90 bags

I'm ok with letting it run longer. Maybe some are waiting for tax returns and stuff or just haven't seen it yet. Up to you though. If we have enough then cool but I like to see the shipping cost get down to $0.10/pound.

 

[tmendick]

I'd buy 2 bags, I just need to get a mill. Or borrow someone's and vacseal them.

Why not? Come over for beers and mill your grain.

Well I just updated my order to 7 bags and we are at $0.11 per pound shipping, which I can be happy with.

 

[Marc77]

Can this hold off till Friday? I've got a few guys that I'll be ordering for and I won't see them or talk to them til Thursday night.

I'm thinking my brewing partner and I will be ordering 4 bags? Three 2 row and one Munich 10L.

Sfgoat I didn't forget about you, I'll also see about the chocolate malt and roasted barley.

I've never done a group buy before. Once we sign up do we pay then and there, is it pay when we take it or how does payment work?

You will receive a PayPal invoice a few days after the buy closes. So you won't have to pay the second you update your order.

And we will have to wait for tre to get back to us about delaying the close date. But officially the last day to order is currently set for Friday I think so if you place your order then it should be fine.

Yeah, I'm adding a few weeks to the buy so we can fill up more. Figure some people will have taxes back by 2/21. If anyone needs to wait even longer, we can do that, or we can do another buy in March. Just let me know how you'd like to proceed.

40 bags is the sweet spot where we maximize our shipping savings without going onto another pallet.

Everyone has my email, right? [email protected]

I also have a mill if anyone needs grain ground.

 

[Marc77]

sfgoat I know for sure we'll split the chocolate with you and I found another brewer that wanted in on it. How's a 4 way split on the chocolate sound?

As for the roasted barley the other brewer I talked to wanted in on it so it's a 3 way split for now and I'm trying to talk MY brewing partner into getting it so we can do a 4 way split on that.

Just throwing it back out there, anyone want to split a Munich Malt 10L?

Yeah so just pm me the emails of everyone hat wants the split and I will set it up in brewbuys so that we all pay accordingly. I will also split that Munich with you if you pm me the email you used to set up in brewbuys.

I just tried to update my order and the list is gone. Anyone know what's going on? This is my first time in a group buy.

Some sort of error. I emailed Tre so he will probably post here once its fixed.

Try now. Sorry guys. The site isn't mine, and it's been a tad buggy here and there, but it's WAYYYYYYY easier than managing a complex spreadsheet. Hopefully it's resolved now.

It has been fixed.

Did we get the split in chocolate and the other set-up? Also I have another bag or two to add, did we decide to let this run a little longer?

We are letting it run longer. I need the email addresses of everyone who wants to split to set it up properly, so you'll have to pm those to me.

 

[sfgoat]

I got the split set up on the chocolate, roasted barley and munich as discussed with stovetop and Marc77.

 

[sfgoat]

Im up for splitting a few more specialty malts as well if someone has something in mind. I was going to get a bag of c60 but I think a whole bag is a bit overboard on that for me. But would consider any other split suggestions.

 

[Stovetop535]

I got the email notification for the split, I will accept it tonight after work.

I'll look again and see if there are any other specialty grains that interest me.

I saw the update too, but I'm not sure if I need to accept it or if anything needs to be done. I also filled out my request for 4 bags of 2 row so shipping is showing 8 cents a pound now. Awesome!!

I might be up for some splits on other specialty grains depending on who wants what. The 60L might not be a bad idea depending on how many would want to split. Even with a four way split that's 12.5 lbs and that'd last me for years. Not even sure if it'd last for years?

Did the email say that you needed to accept it? I don't remember having to accept the splits when they were set up last time.

Nope, was just wondering.

Not saying that I don't like the website, but it has a ways to go. I think I put in a double order as i couldn't seem to log in any more with my old account.
