Group buy in Chicago #2?

[Malric]

I've already put in an order for two bags with bmason, but I'm interested in splitting some crystal. Please let me know if you'd like to go in for a fractional amount.

What color crystal?

What crystal malt are you planning on? Depending on the roast, I might be interested in this.

 

[bmason1623]

How far north do you go? I'm about 3 hours north of you and if the price is right for some 50# of 2-row, I might be interested....

Just a reminder, the sacks of grains are 25 kg. or 55.12 lb.

 

[Malric]

I'm flexible. I was thinking an english crystal since I'm getting a bag of maris. Perhaps Crystal II?

 

[Demon]

I'm open to a split of caramel 10 and 60. Willing to take up to a half sack of each.

I am getting a sack of Maris Otter as well and think the Crystal II would be a good option. If you decide on that, I will certainly be interested in some.

 

[bmason1623]

My internet has been down all day so I haven't been able to enter info into the spreadsheet. Does any one happen to know approximately what our total tally is so far? I'm in for three sacks myself. Thanks.

 

[chiefkellen]

It looks like we are still at 17 sacks confirmed, although I don't know if that includes samie85's request. There are a couple of pending, split sacks of crystal as well.

I'm not sure either but we need 42 sacks. We're not even half way.

 

[bmason1623]

OK. The spreadsheet has been updated and we're at 19 sacks so far; almost halfway there. Everyone check the spreadsheet and make sure I've entered everything correctly. Thanks.

Looks good to me.

Just curiosity here, but why don't you guys just drive down to South Holland to pick it up? That way there's no delivery and you can get grain whenever you want without having to wait on filling up a pallet.

Because they don't allow individual pick ups anymore.

When did that start? I just went down maybe two months ago without a problem. But **** - guess I'll be getting in on #3

 

[bmason1623]

Really? I was told back in March that they were only selling to groups and no longer selling to individuals. Who did you talk to? I'm very curious to find out more. Thanks.

 

[PseudoChef]

Was your first inquiry with them in March? If that's the case, then yes, I think they changed in regards that they aren't accepting new individual customers. However, if you had previously ordered/been a customer, then you were basically grandfathered in. I've been picking up for about two years now. If you had previously been a customer, then I'm stumped and I guess I was just lucky.

I'd love to help out next time to alleviate shipping costs, but unfortunately sold my pick-up truck

 

[RC0032]

They wouldn't grandfather me in

 

[RC0032]

Ok who is in for splitting a sack of 60L? I would take 10lbs or so.

I'm also good for 2 sacs of 2row and some Vienna.

 

[bmason1623]

Is that two sacks of each or a total of two sacks?

 

[Demon]

I can take 25lbs. That would take care of my 60L split. Anyone want to split some rye?

 

[RC0032]

Is that two sacks of each or a total of two sacks?

Sorry:

I will take 2 sacks of 2raw

If someone wants to split I will take upto a 1/2 sack of Vienna

I will also take 10+ lbs of 60L

I can take 25lbs. That would take care of my 60L split. Anyone want to split some rye?

I dont want the other 25lbs but I will take ~10lbs.

Malric,
Are you still interested in splitting a sack of Crystal II? I would be in the market for 25lbs., although I could adjust higher or lower.

Carafa II?

Link to product?

 

[chiefkellen]

It is an English crystal malt in the 60 Lovibond range. Country Malt Group carries the following Fawcett crystal malts:

Fawcett Pale Crystal (20-27°L)
Fawcett Crystal Malt I (42-48°L)
Fawcett Crystal Malt II (62-68°L)
Fawcett Dark Crystal Malt I (83-90°L)
Fawcett Dark Crystal Malt II (118-124°L)

 

[RC0032]

I could swap my 60l request over to this if it helps. Again 10'ish lbs

 

[bmason1623]

Sorry:

I will take 2 sacks of 2raw

with RC0032's order (thus far anyway) we are at the halfway point of 42 sacks.

 

[Malric]

I could take about 10 or 15 lb of the crystal II. It's my first buy and I don't want to overstocked.

I had the same concern with Vienna malt on my first buy last time. Now I need more which is what brought about round #2. $0.02.

That could certainly work, especially if RC0032 is interested in some. If you each determine what you are interested in, I will cover the remainder.
