Lancaster/Reading/Allentown PA grain group buy- Round #3

[smarek82]

I just came across this today and have been doing AG for over a year now.

I do not have a mill currently, but would like to be added to this thread for further group buys.

Thanks

Smarek82- if you brew often and can use a sack within a month or two, they can mill it for you.
Tom

 

[smarek82]

Did I read that if they mill it, it would be an extra $2.20 per 55#?

So if I ordered a 55# sack total price would be around 30-35 bucks?

 

[TomRep]

You are correct sir! Last I checked, the milling price was like $3 per sack. they give you three choices on how fine you want it milled.

Tom,

I will add the GW-C60 x1/5 to my request on the second pallet if still available.

Thanks,
Mark

 

[TomRep]

Hey Mark. I screwed up, it should actually be 4/5 GW-C60. If you still want some, thats fine. I'm waiting on a PM reply that may make us at an even sack for the C60.
Tom

 

[TomRep]

Okay, there is still 4/5 GW-C60 available

 

[smarek82]

Tom,

I'll take:

1 CM-PALE, *1/4 CM-WHET*

*if no one else picks up the other 1/4 WHET I'll take the 1/2*

BTW, there isn't any need to mill. Even though we talked about it previously.

Thanks,

SM

I contacted HopsDirect today to start getting the details to do a hop buy. If anyone in the grain buy is interested in hops and wants to be notified when I start that buy (probably beginning of April), shoot me a PM so I can add you to the list.
Tom

 

[rianrt]

i am interested in a hop buy.

 

[TomRep]

added two more sacks, halfway there

 

[TomRep]

I contacted NCM to see if A) we could put more then 42 sacks on a pallet and B) what shipping was on a partial pallet. 42 sacks is the maximum per pallet and as I thought, $110 to ship even a partial pallet. Since tomorrow is the deadline, we have a couple choices. Extend the buy for a week or so and see if we have anyone else jump on board. We coupld also see if we can get another couple sacks and just ship it as a partial. Shipping on the second pallet would obviously be more, but probably still cheaper then buying from a store. The last option would be to just forget about the second pallet all together. Opinions??
Tom

 

[idratherbeinmexico]

I would be fine with paying more.

 

[smarek82]

What is the ETA right now if the deadline was tomorrow? Would waiting a week be all that bad? I'd too be fine with paying more.

 

[KoedBrew]

would me buying a sack or two help or hurt you guys?

I guess I could grab a bag or two??

 

[TomRep]

buying a sack or two would definitely help. We are trying to fill a second pallet right now. For those of you interested, if we hit 30 sacks on the second pallet, shipping would be roughly a dollar more per sack. Deadline was set for tomorrow so I could get totals out to people and hopefully get everyones payment while I was in Florida so I could order when I returned. If we wait a week, I won't be able to PM totals to people until the 19th or 20th. No offence to anyone, but while I'm on vacation in Florida I really don't want to be figuring everyone's totals out!
Tom

 

[Bert1097]

Tom you can put me down for another sack of 2row.

 

[KoedBrew]

put me down for
1 bag of CM-PALE
Also if there is some GW-C60 available I will take 1/5th!

I am interested in like 1/3, 1/4, or 1/5 bags of some specialty malts if they are available for purchase.

 

[Bert1097]

And I'll finish off the BZ DMunich with a 1/5 sack.

 

[TomRep]

23 sacks, keep them coming!!

 

[M1Owen]

I'll take the other 1/4 of CM-WHET

 

[Driver]

Please add
BD-MOPA x 1 to my order.

Thanks!

 

[Funkster]

If its not 2 late how about
1x BZ-VIEN
1x CM-2ROW
1x CM-WHET

 

[Driver]

Shipping on the second pallet would obviously be more, but probably still cheaper then buying from a store. The last option would be to just forget about the second pallet all together. Opinions??
Tom

Nearly forgot to reply to your question. Personally, I'm fine with a couple extra bucks shipping per bag on the second pallet if we don't get to 42.

 

[Risser09]

I just PMed Tom, stating that I (and 3 others) tried starting a bulk purchase about a month ago, in Lancaster. After limited success, we only had 15 bags to our order, so we would like to join this purchase, and will successfully put the number to 42 (by my count).

 

[TomRep]

Yeah guys, I think the second pallet will be full. Busy at the moment, but I will be in contact with Dissertation to get everything straightened out. I will post our results as soon as I can

 

[TomRep]

That was supposed to be Risser. Dang phone and its auto correct

 

[TomRep]

Okay guys, of all days I left my freakin book at work with all my info. As far as it seems, we are sitting at 43 sacks on the second pallet. Those of you that chimed in last for the 2/3 sack of remaining GW-C60 unfortunately won't be able to get it. When I get to work tomorrow morning I will iron out all the details on the list. Tomorrow I will be able to PM everyone for confirmations after the list is up to date.
Tom

 

[idratherbeinmexico]
