[louie0202]

If there is going to be a third pallet can you send me the catalog?

 

[louie0202]

I found the catalog...but will be interested if there is a third pallet.

 

[louie0202]

If anyone has any open splits...mainly speciality grains I would be interested. Just let me know and shoot me a PM.

Honey Malt, Smoked Malt, Crystal...any of these and more would be interested.

Still space for 20 sacks or so on the third pallet.

Hmm, I didn't get it. Ill pm you my email again. Maybe i put a typo in it

 

[ThirstT]

I may be interested here, gotta read the first post a little more though

Hey, I would possibly be interested in joining in myself. I made a half-hearted attempt to find the details on how this works, and didn't make out so well. I know that I am interested in a 50lb sack of 2-row and would be interested in some specialty grains as well, likely. I'm just about to transition from kits to all-grain, so this is new to me. Am I asking in the correct thread? If so, where could I find details on price, pick up, quantities to order? Thanks in advance for your response!

go to the first page of this thread and read 1st post with instructions then i think post no 6 has the link to the catalog, find what you want to buy and pm your order to bmason1623, this is group buy so we buy by the sack and if you want to get smaller amount you should find other brewers who wants to split sack with you, one of you pays for full and you guys work it out later

Thanks Polboy, I just found that I should be looking there and tried to change my post before forcing you guys to have to respond to another noob. I'll be taking a look and taking interest as well. I may have more questions, but I'll try to make them more valuable hence forth

9) All grain except Breiss is available to us. The only Breiss product available to us are 50 Lb. sacks of DME. Hops in 11 pound increments are also available at wholesale pricing. Cleaning supplies like PBW, starsan, etc is available too. Pretty much everything in the wholesale catalog is available with some exceptions.

Are we able to mix and match SKUs to make up the 11lbs or is it 11lbs of one item? Apologies if this was asked/answered elsewhere in this thread.

 

[wegz15]

Hops come in 11lb packages. So they cannot be mixed

Lets get some action here!! Cheap grain!! Cheap grain!!

 

[louie0202]

Send Bmason how much you are willing to commit to, so we know if we have enough people for a 3rd pallet

 

[bmason1623]

I just want to let everyone know that I have no desire dealing with splits either from a physical perspective (splitting/weighing sacks of grain or hops) or from an accounting one (adding everybody's cost to their portion of the spreadsheet. Sorry, but as we start going over 100 sacks, multiple boxes of hops, wood chips/spirals. etc. it starts to become involved. I am asking that one person pay for a whole item and then the people involved in the splits work out payment and the actual splitting of the items. I'll gladly receive the order and be a central distribution point but splits are a PITA in all honesty. I hope everyone understands.

 

[bmason1623]

the third pallet is at 24 sacks already, with 42 being the limit.

 

[Docgineer]

I'd be interested in a pound or two of EKG or something else interesting

 

[opteek]

I'm looking at the spreadsheet but most of the split orders aren't filled out yet. I'm wondering who is getting
some of the splits so I can PM them. I'm interested in getting some Saaz and crystal malts.

 

[Demon]

Splits are organized in this thread, then one person adds the whole sack to their order.

 

[cadwallion]

I did not get a link to the spreadsheet, can I get a confirmation that my order is in?

 

[wegz15]

I have some 1272 in some mason jars if anybody wants them(I have 2 available)

I'll take one if you have any left.

Also, I saw someone who wanted to get in on some honey malt. eddie if you want half I'm cool with splitting mine in half with whoever wanted some. Or I'm cool with doing 1/3 as well. Up to you guys.

Polboy, we are splitting aromatic or melanoidin? Anyone else interested in some of this?

 

[opteek]

I'd be interested in splitting upto a 1/3 of a sack of honey malt and/or the aromatic malt. Shoot me a PM

Youre probably seeing old fields. Bill reuses the sheet from the last buy. I think, other than a few things like star San, he isn't processing splits thru the spreadsheet.

The main idea being for GroupBuy#5 only whole sacks go on the spreadsheet. People can still do splits but only one person reimburses the buy and Bill doesn't have to manage all the partial sack groups.

That's my understanding anyway and having helped a little with splits on Buy#4 totally agree.

 

[starman]

You might want to send Bill a PM - however if you got in after the first two pallets filled up he hasn't added any of the third skid to the spreadsheet.

 

[opteek]

Well in that case I will go ahead and grab an order of Saaz if I enough people would be willing to split.
I'd like at least 2 and wouldn't be against taking 3 pounds, so that leaves at least 9 pounds.

 

[bmason1623]

The third pallet seems to be stuck at 24 sacks IIRC. Let's try to get it filled at 42 by the end of the week. Tell your friends or fellow brewers to buy.

I will take a pound of Saaz. Maybe 2 if needed to fill the order.
