Middle Tennessee Group Grain Buy

[jcalisi]

I just want to echo the thanks for all of the time and effort you guys put in to organizing this. I'm sure at times it was much akin to herding cats...

1234 - I would love to join but I have family coming in. Maybe I can catch everyone on the next one.

 

[volsfan5012]

Great job pulling this all together and in such a short time. I look forward to meeting everyone and sharing in the brewing experience... Cheers!

 

[J-Malone]

I too would like to thank all those involved with this behind the scenes organization of this group buy. This is going much more smoothly than I initially thought it might.

I am also looking forward to the group brew day and hope I am able to make it...it is always nice to meet new people, especially those that share the same passion as you do about a hobby...

No more thank you's until the grain is actually here.

There's still a crapload more that could go wrong. Of course, i'm a complete optimist.

When is this group brew day you all speak of? I don't think I can brew, but I can bring beer.

+1...but we are thanking you guys for the effort if nothing else...

I also don't think I can stick around for a whole brew day. And since my brew days tend to take 7-8 hours, I don't think I'd be doing everyone else any favors, unless someone wants to mash 12 pounds of Pils in advance.

And yes, a huge thank you to the guys putting this together. I will be bringing a couple thank-you bombers for WildWest, Ranger, and Bobby.

As of this moment, if all goes according to plan, our grain will be here sometime this Friday! It has been ordered and paid for, the rest is up to the trucker.

[1234]

I have Friday off at this point, so I can help do whatever.

 

[1234]

What would work for a brew day for everyone? I was thinking the 19th of this month.

I couldnt do the 19th, my sons birthday is the 20th and I am sure I'll have a little honey do to take care of on the 19th...

I am thinking any other weekend after that might work...

 

[maffewl]

Any weekend besides the this (12th) and next (19th) is good with me...

 

[1234]

I need to know who wants a barley crusher! I have gotten a price and you guys will like it, but for a shipping price I need to know how many we would be ordering. Shipping is going to up the price by about 7 bucks. It is still a good deal. Let me know quickly so I can get back with the guy at BC.

 

[jcalisi]

Count me in. Is that with the 7 or 15lb hopper?

 

[1234]

We can do either, but Wild West suggests the 7lb. Shipping will be higher on the 15.

 

[jcalisi]

Good call. I guess the 15lb would also take a stronger motor if you went that route.

 

[bernerbrau]

I want one!

 

[J-Malone]

Like we talked about on the phone....I am in

 

[maffewl]

How much is one?

 

[wildwest450]

We can do either, but Wild West suggests the 7lb. Shipping will be higher on the 15.

As will the initial price. It's not really a big deal to fill the hopper twice for an average batch, imo. It's not hard to make an extension for larger grain amounts if need be. Just my .02.

In my experience the 7lb hopper will only fit 6lbs of grain.

I already broke down and bought one. With the delay, I kinda thought the notion had died. I still want to be in on the brew day when everyone decides a time.

 

[bernerbrau]

So will the mills be arriving with the grain??

 

[maffewl]

Have the mills been purchased? If not, how much would one cost?

 

[wildwest450]

I'm positive the mills will not be arriving with the grain, as they haven't been ordered yet.
1234 needs to get a firm number before ordering. He will be able to provide more details on the price, since I have a mill, i'm staying out of this one.

[Tbesst]

why not I can use a mill.

 

[1234]

I sent everybody a PM with the price. I am not wanting to put the price out on this posting.

 

[1234]

Jcalisi and Tbesst are both in on the grain mills. I am waiting to hear back from a few folks. I think we will wait 5-7 days to make sure everybody gets a chance to let me know.

 

[1234]

The grain will be here tomorrow, right Wild West? If you only ordered full sacks of grain you can pick-up on Friday, I will provide the address when I get it. Wild West will be bringing the scale that is need to part-out the grain. He will be in Nashville sometime after 10:30 or so. I am planning on being around for the grain handout on both days, but soccer games on Saturday morning.

For those that participated in the split bags, don't forget to bring something to put your grain in.

 

[J-Malone]

Very Nice! I am starting to get the itch to brew something.....lol imagine that???

I am in on the mill as well 1234...

Yeah, too early for my tastes

It's supposed to be. Actually, I won't be there until Saturday. I'm hoping to be there mid morning if that's ok with Ranger. We still don't know when the grain will arrive on friday, even with a tracking # (i'm supposed to get this afternoon) there's no time guarantee(unless we get a cool driver). So if your getting a split on Friday, you need a scale. If not, I will try to bring some small unscented garbage bags and will divy up the splits when I get there so people can just grab them. Just bring a bucket or something, in case of a rip.
