Houston Group Grain Buy #2

[Ravenshead]

Ravenshead and I are splitting it, but I wouldn't be opposed to splitting it into thirds if Ravenshead is ok with that.

Fine with me.

Edit:

Doh, I just realized I've missed the boat on this buy. Let slappy have it.

 

[barrooze]

If we get more takers, we can fill 2 pallets and get an even cheaper rate! Tell your friends!

I'm probably too late, but if yall go into a second pallet or someone flakes I'd be in for 1 BZ-PILS, 2 CM-2ROW, 1 CM-PALE and 1 BD-MOPA, 5 bags total.

Already 9 sacks into the 2nd pallet. Keep em coming...

EDIT: Please add 1 sack of 5298 (Briess 2‐Row Brewers Malt) to my order. I guess that makes it 10 sacks for the 2nd pallet...

 

[Tengallon]

I'm in for:
2- GW-PALE, 1- GW-2ROW, 1- GW-C60, 1- BD-MOPA(maris otter)
Total 5 sacks.
Thank you,
Tengallon

 

[Ravenshead]

I'm still in for pils and MO if the second pallet happens.

Barrooze: Split the wheat with Slappy just to keep it simple.

 

[schaez]

I'm in for:
2- GW-PALE, 1- GW-2ROW, 1- GW-C60, 1- BD-MOPA(maris otter)
Total 5 sacks.
Thank you,
Tengallon

Tengallon, I have you down for 3 based on your previous comment and the 1st pallet is full. Hopefully my account will be setup on Monday. If it is I'll probably wait until Wednesday to see if we have enough momentum for a second pallet. Let me know which 3 you want on the 1st pallet and if you want 2 on the second pallet (if it happens).

 

[MacGyver22]

I'm in for 4 sacks (from the first page):

2 - Canadian Malt 2-row
1- Bairds Marris Otter
1 - Briess Vienna

If we make a second pallet, I'll go for these on top of what I've got already:
1 - Canadian Malt 2-row
1 - Bairds Marris Otter

 

[Tengallon]

Sorry, My misunderstanding in that case:

1- GW-PALE, 1- GW-C60, 1- BD-MOPA(maris otter) First Pallet

1-GW-PALE, 1- GW-2ROW, Second Pallet

Thank you,
Tengallon

I'm working on a Dallas Group Buy, you guys down in Houston have helped out a lot!

Read over your first buy thread and this thread.

Main thing I'm wondering though, is stevebuscemi stated that they wouldn't provide pricing in the 2000-4000 lb range as stated in their price sheet.

That's not much, but if true it would affect my personal order of 5 sacks by about $8 and would def affect your organizer when your talking 42 sacks.

Also, can anyone from the prev Houston buy tell me the approx freight incurred? Our Dallas buy should have a dock, forklift and pallet jack.

Good luck on the second round, and anyone with brew friends in Dallas, tell them come on over to the Dallas Group Buy!

 

[schaez]

Sorry, My misunderstanding in that case:

1- GW-PALE, 1- GW-C60, 1- BD-MOPA(maris otter) First Pallet

1-GW-PALE, 1- GW-2ROW, Second Pallet

Thank you,
Tengallon

Thanks Tengallon, I'll update the first page tonight.

I'm still waiting for my account to be setup.

 

[schaez]

Tealio, I should have that info at home. I'll try to post that tonight or tomorrow.

 

[schaez]

I got 10.25 bags last time and I paid about $50 over the <2000 lbs price per pound.

 

[schaez]

If you're on the list please send me a PM with your contact information (name, email, phone). You can also email me at my username at gmail.com if my PM inbox fills up.

My account isn't setup yet so it will be a few more days for that. I'm working on the list of bags and pallets now.

 

[schaez]

I still need contact info from the following people. If I somehow missed it I apologize.

slappy1974
javabrewer
mredge73

Also, javabrewer I'm assuming you want CM 2-Row as the type of 2-row unless you state otherwise.

Once I get all the contact info in I'll send in the order for a qoute and send out requests for payments. It doesn't look like the second pallet is going to happen. However, please post if you have interest in the future and I'll check every 6 months or so to see if we can get another order in.

 

[BrewHaas]

Whoop!
Vallensons and I will be making Pearland smell better for Presidents Day! I'm ready. Thanks for doing this!

[MacGyver22]

Very excited for this! Now to finish up my electric system so I can do something with all this wonderful grain!

I gave my old mashtun to my sister over Christmas, so I'm dead in the water til I finish the new system

[vallensons]

Thanks Scheaz. We all appreciate this greatly!

 

[barrooze]

Thanks Scheaz. We all appreciate this greatly!

Completely agree. Thank you!

 

[schaez]

No problem. I went ahead and requested a quote. Once it's received I'll send out payment requests. I plan to handle everything through PayPal.

If it's not too late, I'd like to change my 1 bag of cm-2row to a bag of tf-mopa. If it is too late, not a problem. More importantly, how did you go through 10 bags since the last buy? I'm still on my 1.5. Maybe I need to brew more...

 

[mredge73]

same here; I am only 2 batches into my stash from the last buy. You are doing some serious brewing.

 

[schaez]

I got a bad response from Country Malt when I requested an actual quote. Now they don't want to do business with me without a business name and tax id. I may have a work-around but I'm not sure. At best this will delay things and at worst it will kill the the buy with them. If it dies with the country malt we can look at the alternatives like the 3 homebrew shops around Houston or online, but the cost per pound will go up a lot.

I haven't gone through all my grain from last time, but this time I'm looking for some MO and crystal compared to the pilsner and 2-row I have around. I had bought enough for at least a year at the last bulk buy. However, I usually split batches and so far in 2012 I've made 40 gal on my system and I've kept 20 gal with another 10 gal being made on Sunday.

MacGyver22, my system is all electric when I've brewing at home. Let me know you're interested and I'll let you know the next time I'm brewing at home (Pearland). This week will be on a friend's system and next week's will be all gas at the our clubs brew-in so I probably won't make another batch with electric system until March.

 

[MacGyver22]

Schaez,

Have you had any luck with Country Malt? Did the work around work, or are you just up to your neck with work stuff - I know what that is like.

I do have a DBA, but not a separate tax ID, don't know if that would help or not.

The electric brewery is pretty much done, just the final, final tests and we're ready to brew. Hoping to fire it up this weekend for the inaugural brew.

Thanks,
Ned

 

[schaez]

I have a registered business and tax id, but then they also wanted a check or credit card in the business name which I don't have.

 

[MacGyver22]

That is really strange - never heard of a place that wouldn't accept a regular old visa, regardless of the name. Would they take a bank check, or wire transfer from a bank?

 

[barrooze]

It sounds like they're trying to get away from dealing with individuals, preferring breweries and homebrew stores instead. Too bad&#8230; out of curiosity, are there other malt suppliers that other group buys are using?
