Houston Group Grain Buy #5

[bogwart]

I'm putting my name on the spreadsheet as we speak. Thanks Kevin for the reminder, i almost forgot!

 

[barrooze]

All,

Just a reminder to please put your HBT username in the first row only. The formulas in the spreadsheet will take care of your name everywhere else it's used. There are some issues with people entering it in row 74 instead of the top row.

Thanks,

 

[bogwart]

Oh, and I'll go .25 or up to .5 on the CM-WHET if it'll help make that one happen. I need some berliner weisse!

Did you see the article in the recent Zymurgy regarding Berliner Weiss syrups? Made me want to make another batch of BW!

I'll go 1/3 if you go 2/3. Unless Barooze wants to make some Berliner (and to be in on every split).

Thanks, but I still have enough wheat from the last group buy I was in! Can I offer you some C40 or Carastan?

 

[saxowam]

Just added a bag of 2-row to my order. Thanks

And that's that! 84 sacks accounted for. That went really quick!

 

[schaez]

Yeah that was quick. I've locked it down and will clear out the splits that are open. I'm going to wait a couple of weeks to start the ordering process (quote, payment by participates, order, delivery, pick-up) since I'll be busy the next couple of weeks.

 

[barrooze]

Sounds good. Thanks again for organizing this!

 

[tracyk]

Thanks for putting this together.

 

[tracyk]

I can also help out with the wheat to make that split go.

Hey guys, be aware that if you haven't already secured your order you may not be getting bulk pricing. NCM has changed the pricing they offer to grandfathered in home brewer accounts.

 

[schaez]

We haven't secured pricing for this round yet though I don't know if it will affect my account. I don't have a grandfathered account. We'll see I guess. 20% will make it less worth our while, but it would still provide a savings. I am interested in what comes of folks looking at other places to buy.

Someone needs to look into that and see how much the price is going to jump. Hope it does not effect this groups buy

We'll find out in the course of getting a quote. I don't do anything until I have a actual price and I don't order until the members of the group buy commit by paying. No one is being asked to go out on a limb and risk having to end up paying more. The prices in the spreadsheet will be updated and I expect them to change. It looks like they may be slightly higher but not 20% unless they only offer the other pricing. We'll see...

schaez,
I was never given permission to access the spreadsheet, do you know if my bag of two row and bag of MO made it onto the list?

 

[bogwart]

Did you see the article in the recent Zymurgy regarding Berliner Weiss syrups? Made me want to make another batch of BW!

No, I didn't read it yet. The syrups aren't necessary in a BW (at least IMO), but it certainly is a great summer beer!

 

[bogwart]

Oh, and on the wheat bag...I'm fine with splitting that however y'all would like.

 

[barrooze]

No, I didn't read it yet. The syrups aren't necessary in a BW (at least IMO), but it certainly is a great summer beer!

I fully agree, but I'm still definitely curious about them and would like to try them out. :fro:


For those interested, the dates for the Big Batch Brew Bash have been set. Check it out here.

Send me a PM with your email and I will add you. However, you unfortunately aren't on there and the buy is full. I don't add bags of grain for people, but require them to make there own additions to the spreadsheet. Adding you at this point means that you will have access when I create the next spreadsheet. Also make sure you're subscribed to this thread because I will post here the next time I do an order which will likely be Sep - Nov time frame.

 

[soopagloo]

I have requested access to the spreadsheet. Please grant access. Thanks.

 

[schaez]

I won't be able to provide access until Thursday night or Friday. This buy is closed though.

 

[soopagloo]

That's fine. I know it's closed. Just want to be on the list so I don't miss the next one. For some reason, i never got a subscription update when this last one happened.

[schaez]

Status update - I plan to submit the quote request today. We'll start collecting funds and then place the order once everything is in place.

I got the email and went on Paypal to pay and was unsure of what the charge is going to be. It just says the seller pays the fees.

[Jackjama]

2.99 percent plus 30 cents

 

[mredge73]

I was given 2 options, first option charges the seller the fees and the second option charges the sender fees if a credit card is used.
If you use your bank account or paypal balance then the fees are waved when choosing the second option.

 

[KingJim]

Don't mind me, I'm just subscribing for when I move house and onto AG.
