Group Buy in Chicago #7

[bmason1623]

Next buy won't be until June or July so order enough.

does anyone want to do a split on black malt or roast barley? I don't want very much so I'd need a lot of interest in a small amount of hours. PM if so.

Did you find anyone to split black malt? I just put up a 4 way split of Briess Black Wheat Malt. You can use this malt for color without the bitterness of a roasted malt. I've used it in the past to give my darker Belgians some color.

Crazy good..

I say lets get as many as people want, I'm only thinking its fair to look at it as first inquiry gets first right of refusal to fill a skid (4-5) and there are always the last minute back-outs.

This is what I have in order of responses from post 149 forward
C=Confirmed U=Not Confirmed
Neopol (C),
Gothic Horror (C),
TBU (U-Split?),
Mark(427Cobra)(C),
Cheesecake (U)

If I am in err or missed you please speak up. I went back to post 149 to current prior to knowing pricing/shipping.

Gentlemen,

I asked Bill if we needed to place our barrel order before the buy ends tonight. He was asking who is interested. Now is the time to speak up and confirm who is purchasing a barrel. If a few members are going to brew together and use only one barrel, it would be helpful if only one member stepped forward for that group. We need to get a barrel count.

I am purchasing a barrel.

Who else?

I have space, just not enough fermenters to brew that much. If two other people could brew up 20 gallons of the same recipe to help me fill it that would be great, but I would need to know ASAP so that I could order any extra grain that I might need for the project.

So if anybody wants in on a split of a barrel let me know quickly so we can figure out a recipe and such. I'm thinking either a Tripel or an Old Ale.

If cheesecake is dropping out, I'll take on the barrel. My smoked porter could benefit from barrel-aging instead of oak chips.

Added you..


TBU, let me know if something changes, without knowing for certain I'm calling 4 maybe 5 a full pallet.

 

[Neopol]

Face Eater,

the most current pricing I can offer is approx 160, that's the shipping charge divided by 4 which is still a variable..but I'm happy to put you on deck.

 

[hot427cobra]

Now we're cooking! Or should I say , "Lets get brewing"!

I just took a split. Sounds like a great malt. Very excited to try it out and I hope it gets closed out. Have you used enough to get any chocolate or nutty flavor?

 

[bmason1623]

Guys, you have no idea how much time and effort Ghoti has put into the database. There are many things available to the admin running a group buy that makes these large buys much, much easier to handle. And they will only get easier in the future. If it weren't for his database I would have cut it off at 2 pallets by now. PLEASE show him your appreciation and bring him home brew when you pick up your grain.

You got it. You guys are awesome for doing this

Honestly, I only use a small amount, 4 oz for a 5 gallon batch. Here is the link to a PDF from Briess describing the flavor profile. http://www.brewingwithbriess.com/Assets/PDFs/Briess_PISB_MidnightWheatMalt.pdf

Love to, but what if 1.) I'm relatively new, may not be that good and 2.) my pipeline is probably dry until this come in.

Any other suggestions to show appreciation?

180 sacks so far but that will probably decrease if some of the splits do not get parted out completely. still pretty damn impressive.

180...Ha! Amazing what can happen in seven days along with a system that makes the ordering process and managing splits easy to do. A huge thanks to the people behind the curtain that control the magic that make this all happen.

Speaking of splits, is there any interest in a split of Vienna (or did somebody grab more than they really wanted just to fill another split)? I would be interested in about 1/4 bag, but would be willing to do a half. I don't really have a brand preference so I may hold off opening another split in the database for the moment.

180 is so last week. We are at over 300 sacks right now.

One more part of that Acidulated Malt split folks. Info on the malt: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/wiki/index.php/Acidulated_malt. I plan on using some in my wheat beers. Everyone loves a crisp summer wheat beer.

 

[ThirstT]

would anybody in the group buy object if we asked everyone to pitch in a cumulative total of maybe $25 extra so I can buy some burgers and brats for the guys who will be helping out with the crapload of splits? I figure it's going to take us at least 6 hours to do all of the splits. The least we can do is feed them. Is that cool?

I think that$25 is an unnacceptably low offer. I'd say at least $50 to order a couple of pizzas, or even more potentially to get sandwiches for each guy. You guys deserve good feed!

 

[TheBreweryUnderground]

FYI I just put up a split on Chit Malt and Melanoidin Malt if anybody is interested.

[jmg727]

Has anyone ever brewed with Elderflowers. I just went through the price list to see if I forgot anything, and that looked intriguing.

 

[KurtB]

TBU - I just took the last of the Melanoidin on your split.

I also just put up a split for Vienna. I am flexible on the brand so if somebody wants in but of a different brand, I will switch mine.

 

[bmason1623]

I open up a two way split of Best Malz Light Munich. Who needs munich? Come and get your munich!
