Houston, TX Group Buy

[ashford]

Alright I'll add you, would you be interested in splitting a Best bag of munich? I've never tried munich so was figuring I would try a real German type. Its $.57 compared to .$50 for canadian but my feeling is your never gunna get grain this cheap might as well get some good stuff. Let me know.

Yes, I can do a split on the German stuff.

 

[stevebuscemi]

Ok light or dark? I think light might be more versatile but haven't used either so whatever you think.

 

[rca]

OK, I'd be good with the following:

1 CM-2ROW CMC 2 Row
1 CM-SPIL CMC Pilsner
1 CM-MUNH CMC Munich

I usually go with the dark as it has a little more malt character. There is only a slight difference in lovibond between the light and dark. I am fine with either one though!

 

[stevebuscemi]

Ok dark it is, I'll give it a try. I'll add you rca.

 

[javabrewer]

I'm still in for 2 bags of two row and hops if possible.

2x GW-2ROW

Hops: 1lb each cascade, centennial, williamette, columbus

 

[stevebuscemi]

Your added java, what I hear about the hops is you have to order in 11lb increments for each variety, which can be done but guessing you'll want to split it with multiple people.

 

[mredge73]

While I am at it.
Throw me in with a 50 lb sack of Dextrose: CR-DEXTR50 (anyone want to split?)
And a pound of sweet orange peel: 1768-2

That's a SH*TLOAD of Sugar! Belgians I assume with the sugar and orange peel?

 

[mredge73]

Yes, I love belgians.

 

[1234]

They will not sell you the spices and herbs.

 

[senordodo]

Yeah schaez and senordodo do yall want to split that bag of rice hulls? If not thats fine with me just let me know so I can get the total right.
I will continually edit the list above when more people add more, so check that post for the current total.

I'm good with a split on the Rice Hulls and would go half on the rye and one other of anything if someone needs to do a split.

 

[mredge73]

They will not sell you the spices and herbs.

Oh well
I wasn't sure, cancel the orange peel then.

 

[stevebuscemi]

Yes sir, think the pallet will be filled soon. My only fear is the people that previously stated what they wanted come back and we have more than a pallet. But guess that's better than too little.
Senor and kingwood yall agree on the rye split? I'm going to put it on the list unless I hear otherwise.
I might be interested in splitting some vienna or something.

 

[rca]

Steve,

I'd be up for a vienna split.

Sign me up for splitting the vienna with RCA. Anyone have a grain mill for sale?

 

[kingwood-kid]

Yes on my end.

BTW, thanks for taking the lead on all this Steve.

 

[stevebuscemi]

RCA and ashford what brand of Vienna would you want? I'll let yall split one and I might split one with senor if he wants.
No problem kingwood, just wanted to get it done. Does anyone in Houston have experience buying from CMG? 1234 is willing to help out but if someone in Houston has an account with them already it would make the purchasing and shipping process easier.

 

[rca]

Doesn't matter to me. Ashford, do you have a preference on which vienna?

Ron

 

[senordodo]

Yes on my end.

Yes

I'm good with a split, your choice is fine with me.

 

[stevebuscemi]

I went with the best malz for the vienna imported and basically the cheapest.

 

[Ravenshead]

I'll go in for a sack of 2-row (any brand) if it's not too late. If I am too late just let me know.

Whoever's in charge,
PM me with details.

 

[stevebuscemi]

I'll add you to the list, not sure on the payment quite yet but hopefully will soon. Also you have posted a rather devilish number of times.

 

[Ravenshead]

Heh, took me awhile to see what you meant.

I went to school in Galveston and I'm still pretty close so I have no issue picking it up from you.

 

[stevebuscemi]

I have no problem having it shipped down here but feel as if people in sugar land and where ever else might hate it. I'm trying to figure out the exact details on where they can ship but a central houstonian volunteer might be the ideal solution. Who knows Joshaw50 might get back on and have all the answers.

That works. Thanks Steve.

[calebawilson]

Hey guys sorry but I won't be buying any grain on this buy sorry I couldn't help out.

I read this thread because I'm considering moving to Houston sometime in the near future.

I was in on a group buy here in Pittsburgh last spring and sort of know what needs to be done. First, does anyone have an account with CMG? They won't sell to anyone without an account and they are not giving out new accounts to homebreweres. Someone needs an existing account.

Second, the delivery needs to be made to a business with facilities to unload the pallet from the truck, i.e. a loading dock and fork truck. Alternatively, I think you can have it delivered to a residence by a truck with a lift gate, but the shipping is then considerably more.

If you're not buying directly from CMG then you can ignore everything I just said.

Good luck and I wish I was there to help you with this.

 

[vallensons]

I am in for 5 bags 2-Row, 2 bags Maris Otter, 1 bag Crystal 40. Hopefully I made it in time. Let me know. Cheers
