Mini Chicago/burbs buy

[Brewenstein]

Hey guys - Somehow I missed the big group buy that is wrapping up right now. I do have an account at Mid-Country Malt so I can buy when I want, but to get the best pricing, I need to get at least 14 sacks. I have a few guys that need some grain, but not quite enough. Anyone else miss out and need a few sacks? I am looking to make a run to Mid-Country in 1-2 weeks, so let me know. Either post here, or send me a PM.

Which suburb?

 

[Brewenstein]

I live in Lombard.

 

[ghoti]

I can be in for a few bags if it will help you reach your goal. I have a local group meeting this Thursday and I can see if there are others who are interested.

Awesome. I won't go until sometime next week at the earliest. PM me your e-mail address and I will forward you the catalog.

I'd probably be in for a sack or 2. Flying in/out of Chicago for thanksgiving...would it be possible for me to pick up the Sunday after?

 

[mwandrusz]

I'm also in Lombard, and depending on pricing, would be in for two sacks, maybe three.

Ok. I will be out of town from tomorrow through Sunday. When I get back, I will get this thing better organized and get back to you and everyone else that contacted me.

 

[mwandrusz]

Excellent. I can't swallow paying $45/sack at the brew and grow again.

 

[ghoti]

Brew - any update to organizing?

 

[Brewenstein]

Going to try to organize who wants what and get it posted tomorrow. Hope to go next week to Mid Country.

 

[Brewenstein]

OK - here is what I have so far. Please check and let me know if this is correct.

Mlutha - 4 sacks 2-row, 1 sack vienna, 1 sack Maris Otter

Asseyes - 2 sacks of ?

adriedel - 1 sack 2-row

mragin - 1 sack Briess 2-row (or GW 2-row)

Wickman - 1 CM wheat, 1 CM 2-row, 1 GW Vienna, 1 BZ Munich

Can you please let me know which brand of malt you want if you haven't already?

Thanks.

 

[Asseyes]

I'll take 2-row and Marris Otter

Thanks

 

[Brewenstein]

I am closing this now for anyone else. For those of you that said 2-row, any particular maltster? If I don't hear back, I will get Canada Malting Co for the 2-row.

 

[mwandrusz]

I'm fine with Canada Malting or Rahr, whatever is cheaper.

 

[sudsmcgee]

Canada Malting is the cheapest 2 row I believe. I've used it and it's fine.

 

[Schnibbz]

If it's not too late, I'd like to grab 3 sacks of CMC 2-row and a 50lb pail of PBW.

 

[iX_Xi]

If you're still open - I'd take 2 sacks of Briess 2Row. Let me know and I can PayPal you and pickup. I'm in the city - I can help with a group pickup with any other folks.

[Face Eater]

I pm'd my selections.

 

[wickman6]

is it too late to add one sack of cm pale ale in addition to what i already spoke for?

 

[Brewenstein]

Here is what I have now. Please verify. I am placing this order as soon as I get pricing. I am going out of town next Tuesday, so I would like to get the grain this coming Thursday or Friday, and have pick-up before I leave Tuesday.

Please get back to me today with your selection of maltster, if you have not already done so. Also, I need a back-up for those who selected Briess, as MCM did not sell this to home brewers last time I ordered. Thanks.

Mlutha - 4 sacks 2-row, 1 sack vienna, 1 sack Maris Otter -Still waiting for maltster selection

Asseyes - 1 sack 2-row and 1 sack Maris Otter - Still waiting for maltster selection

adriedel - nothing at this time

mragin - 1 sack Briess 2-row (or GW 2-row)

Wickman6 - 1 CM wheat, 1 CM 2-row, 1 GW Vienna, 1 BZ Munich, 1 sack CM pale ale

Schnibbz - 3 sacks CMC 2-row, 50 lb PBW

iX_iX - 2 sacks Briess 2-row - Please select alternate maltster, just in case

Face Eater - 1 sack TF Maris Otter, 1 sack GW 2-row

mwandrusz - 2 sacks CMC 2-row, 1 sack Munich - Which maltster for the Munich?


If I do not hear back regarding maltster selections, or alternates to Briess, I will default to CMC for 2-row ($30.80 per sack), Best Malz for Munich (their light Munich) ($38.50 per sack) and Vienna ($38.50 per sack), and Thomas Facett for Maris Otter ($45.10 per sack)

I will cover the cost the buy, and you can pay me when you pick up. Cash is preferable, but a check will do also. Thanks everyone for your patience.


Just realized how much this order will weigh (I also have a few friends and myself not listed above). I may need to have this delivered. If so, it will add $2-3 per bag to cover the delivery and fuel charges. Is everyone OK with this? Please let me know. If I can't get confirmation from everyone, I may need to push the order off until after Thanksgiving.

I will be looking to borrow a truck for pickup, so this may not be an issue, but let me know just in case.

 

[Schnibbz]

My order is correct. I've got a truck and could possibly pickup in exchange for a few bottles of brew.

 

[RacingRam]

My order is correct too. Thanks!

 

[Face Eater]

Looks good to me thanks!

 

[Asseyes]

CMC 2-row is fine and TF Maris

 

[wickman6]

My order is correct.

 

[mwandrusz]

I am good with CMC 2-row and best malz Munich.

 

[Brewenstein]

Thanks everyone for your quick responses. I will e-mail for pricing tomorrow and let you know what is going on.

 

[Brewenstein]

Did not receive a quote today, but am still hoping to pick up on Friday. If anyone can pick up Friday, that would be awesome. Otherwise I need to bring all of the sacks inside for the night (I don't have a garage ).

 

[mwandrusz]

I can pick up Friday.
