Grain Group Buy - Mid Hudson Valley, NY, CT Round#2

[tcbailey]

I am probably in for 4, but need to look at the menu.

 

[fpweeks]

I'm in for 4.
3 - CM-2ROW
1 - CM-MUNH

Can we do single pounds of hops?

 

[fpweeks]

I'm in NE PA just off I84 by the NY border. So if anyone is in this neighborhood I'd be happy to help

 

[k47k]

fpweeks, got your order. up to 22 sacks.

 

[flatfour64]

I am in for 2 sacks:

2 x Briess 2 row, item ID 5298

I am located in central CT, so will want to coordinate with someone in the Hartford area. I work in Bloomfield, so can shoot down to Manchester with no problem as well.

I requested access to the google doc, my email has 'rc' and '64' in it

 

[k47k]

flatfour64, got it. up to 24 sacks.

 

[Poobah58]

If you have room, I'm switching my CT group buy over here. I'm in New Miford, CT if that helps anyone out. I also have a shop
with a fork truck if that helps the OP out with shipping costs. I think the last time I had a pallet delivered here it was $94 for shipping.
Could meet anywhere between here and Poughkeepsie if desired.

I'm in for 13 bags:
(4) Bairds Maris Otter - BD-MOPA
(2) CMC 2-Row - CM-2ROW
(3) Best Pilsen - BZ-PILS
(1) Best Munich - BZ-MUNH
(1) CMC Wheat - CM-WHET
(1) Baird Pale Ale - BD-PALE
(1) Baird Dark Crystal - BD-CR75

LMK if I'm in so I can close the other group buy out...

 

[tomCT]

Since it appears that the CT group grain buy is closing down I would like to move my purchase to this group.

GW-2ROW - 2 bags
5S‐PBW8LB - 8 lb PBW (confirmed with CMG there is no hazardous material fee)

Thanks, Tom

Poobah, Tom,

You are both welcome in the buy. While i can mule, i cant mule for 10 different people individually, just wont work.

I can make 1 delivery in Western CT (Danbury area) and will be looking to make 1 delivery in East Hartford (Manchester area). Whoever wants in on this buy should get together with the other people in your region and figure out who is going to be the distributor for that region. Muling will be done on my schedule, most likely a friday night or saturday morning.

I will update the first page with the Mule drop off locations and ill let you folks work out who will be the distributor for the region.

Poobah, i appreciate the offer for receiving the delivery, however it is not cost effective for me, even though there is significant savings, id actually be paying more since i would have to spend 2 hours and 90 miles in gas, also i cant accommodate 1600lbs in my vehicle.

let me know if you still want in.

 

[Poobah58]

I'm in...

 

[k47k]

poobah,

you are in, PM me your email so i can give you access to view the google docs spreadsheet.

 

[roguemc]

Guess the ct buy is done, can I get in in this one? Live in Windsor ct. Looking for 2 bags of 2 row, 1 bag Maris otter.

 

[tomCT]

Just to confirm, I still want in.

Tom

 

[k47k]

we are up to 42 sacks. Please reply with your location and how you intend to get your grain.

As i mentioned i can mule to CT but will only make 2 stops (Danbury and Manchester) so you CT folks will need to work together and find a distributor that can pickup your orders.

Once everyone replies with their location, how they intend to get their grain and confirm the order as listed on the spreadsheet i will double check the order totals and then provide details on how to provide payment.

If everyone wants to pickup their order in New Milford, CT i will entertain taking Poobah up on his loading dock offer. We'd save around $4 per sack in shipping. This will only happen if all CT buyers will pickup their orders in New Milford, i would only mule sacks to poughkeepsie (id split my fuel bill with those picking up in pougkeepsie)

 

[fpweeks]

My order is good. I had planned on Poughkeepsie, but I suppose if it helped out or dropped my price a couple bucks I could do Danbury

 

[tomCT]

The spreadsheet shows 2 bags of CM-2ROW for me that I did not order.

I ordered 2 bags of GW-2ROW, and that is correct on the spreadsheet.

Tom

 

[indibrewer]

I can pick my order from Manchester

 

[k47k]

I ordered 2 bags of GW-2ROW, and that is correct on the spreadsheet.

Tom

fixed.

 

[indibrewer]

Fellows anyone interested in splitting briess caramel 60l?

 

[tomCT]

I can go either way on delivery.

If the delivery is Poukeepsie, I would pick up in Danbury.

If the order is New Milford, would pick up there. I also would be able to bring the central CT bags to Newtown (I84- exit 11) if that would help them out.

 

[brad88]

My order is good. I would pickup in Poughkeepsie ... I will split the fuel costs with you if you decide to pick it up in New Milford.

 

[flatfour64]

I would be good with picking up my grain in New Milford, CT. If someone would be willing to mule 2 sacks to Manchester, I would work with that also. I checked the google doc and my order is correct, 2 x Briess 2row

I will check this thread daily for updates. PM me if you want to work out transport deals.

When would this buy happen and be delivered? I am out of the state Oct. 2 through Oct. 10. Let me know if it would be over this time period.

 

[k47k]

The buy is full so as soon as we work out the logistics of pickup / delivery i will request payment from folks, when i have all payments i will place the order. it usually arrives the 2nd day. Id guess delivery would be sometime the first week of october.

im thinking delivery in New Milford might work best.

1/3 of the sacks are going to New Milford
1/3 of the sacks are going 1 hour west
1/3 of the sacks are going 1 hour east

i will mule for the sacks going to poughkeepsie (west). everyone else can either pickup in new milford or coordinate someone to mule east.

 

[brewskerdoo]

Ok, take a swing at some coordination. It looks like indibrewer, roguemc flatfour64 and brewskerdoo (me) are the 4 central(ish) CT participants that might want to work together to get our bags back to the Hartford area most economically.
If one of the 4 of us can pick up all 12 sacks, we could come up with some number per sack each of us would owe to cover your expenses.
Any volunteers?
I work in East Hartford and live in Berlin I so I could potentially do the pickup on a Sat. and meet up on the following Monday in E. Hartford to distribute.
Of course if anyone else can get the central CT 12 sacks closer to us, that's even better.

 

[indibrewer]

I have no issues doing that but I own a sedan and don't think I can fit all those bags in the trunk? I think whoever brings back those bags we all can meet at the park and ride lot in Manchester right off exit 62 at a set time.

 

[roguemc]

Does anyone have a vehicle that could haul the 12 bags? I have a little Mazda that couldn't handle the 600#'s. I too could pick up my bags at exit 62 in Manchester, I'm just not sure what our options are at this point.

 

[indibrewer]

Flatflour, brewskerdoo do you guys have a vehicle to haul the grains? If not then we have to look for other options.

K47k is there a possibility to stick to original plan?

 

[brewskerdoo]

I can handle the 12 bags. My truck gets around 14 mpg unloaded. Google
says my round trip Berlin / New Milford millage is around 90 miles. Some quick calculatin' and i come up with roughly $2.25 / bag to cover my gas. That sound reasonable?

 

[flatfour64]

That sounds good to me brewskerdoo, I would pay you $5 cash to bring my 2 sacks to Berlin. Once we know hard dates, we can set up a time for me to pick up from you.

:rockin:

 

[indibrewer]

Is there any option to pick it in east Hartford or Manchester? Berlin is still around 30 miles for me.

K47k any thoughts on sticking to plan?
