NEW Chicago bulk buy

[bmason1623]

I believe the LME and gluten free stuff is available as well.

Maybe. It seems to vary from warehouse to warehouse. Also, the hops pricing is different than the commercial catalog. They have "home brewers" catalog that has pricing and availability on a various items that someone should ask for. I'd be interested to see the grain pricing on less than a pallet full. Also, pricing went up about 10% November 1.

Here is my current order:

Whole sacks:
Fawcett Peat Malt
Fawcett Optic
Fawcett Maris Otter
Briess Golden Light DME - (will split with anyone interested, else sign me up for a whole sack)


Looking to split any of the following if there are willing parties:
Best Malz Acidulated malt (split up to 4 ways)
Best Malz Caramel Malt 1 (30-40 SRM - split up to 4 ways)
Best Malz Vienna (split 2 or 3 ways)
Fawcett Brown Malt (Split 3 or 4 ways)
Split on the C-120 if that is still on.
Nobody in for a split of the liquid belgian candi sugar that comes in 1# packages (12 packages per order)????
How about a split on the bottle caps? 10k oxygen barrier caps for $185? They are 4 or 5 bucks for a gross at the LHBS.


Hops:
1# Mt Hood
1# Tettnanger

Spices:
1# paradise seeds. Would be open to a split if anyone else is interested, else I'll take a whole pound. At that price it's a steal.

I talked to my contact at Mid Country Malt today. No Briess products are available to us except for dried malt extract. Please edit your posts to indicate what maltster you would like in these cases. All other adjuncts, etc are available. The hop pricing per pound is more expensive for single pounds. For example Tett is about $14.50 and Mt. Hood is about $12.00. The prices we see in the catalog are for 11 or 44 pound increments. Let me know if this changes anyone's mind. I am still up for the 11 pounds of Cascade. I think we have almost that now.

I also found out that we get this price break for as little as 14 sacks . I know that we have more than that now, so I would like to wrap this up ASAP because I am hoping to pick up some time next week. So anyone who wants, needs to let me know.

If you need more hops to get the discount I will take them. Also I will take 1 sack of Canadian 2row and Thomas faucett mariss otter.

thanks,
Bill Scott

 

[pomalley44]

Here's my official order:

2 sacks Fawcett Maris Otter
1 sack Canadian 2row

Also willing to take up to a pound of Cascade hops to help fill out the 11lb order. I'm good with any number between 0-16 oz.

 

[ryanof]

Updated grain order.
Canada Malt
2 sacks 2-row
2 sacks Superior Pilsen

 

[Randar]

Updated my previous order post. It is now current.

Are any of the splits actually going to happen?

 

[Bilboa51]

What's going on with this? Are we moving forward?

 

[Brewenstein]

What's going on with this? Are we moving forward?

YES!

Here is what I have - please check for accuracy:

ryanof - 2 sacks CMC 2-row
2 sacks CMC superior pilsen

Bilboa51 - 1 sack CMC 2 row
1 sack TF maris otter
4 pounds cascade hops

Randar - 1 sack TF peat malt
1 sack TF optic malt
1 sack TF maris otter
1 bag Briess Golden Light DME (sorry, no split)
1 pound Mt. Hood hops
1 pound Tettnanger hops
1 pound paradise seeds
1/4 sack C-120

Schnibbz - 2 sacks CMC 2 row
1 sack flaked corn
2 pounds cascade hops

pomalley44 - 1 sack CMC 2 row
2 sacks TF marris otter

I am splitting 1/2 sack of C-120. That leaves 1/4 sack left. I will take it if no one else needs it. Also, I am splitting 4 pounds of cascade. That makes 10 pounds ordered, so there is a pound left if anyone wants it otherwise I will keep it.

Haven't heard from ThatGuyRyan yet, but if I don't hear in a day or two, I will place the order. Hopefully I can get this confirmed so that I can get a pick up on Friday.

 

[Bilboa51]

I will take the other pound of cascade hops. Are there any other hops that anyone wants to order? If so are we able to?

 

[Schnibbz]

I'll take the last 1/4 of C-120.

 

[Brewenstein]

We can order other hops, but the pricing will be higher than the prices listed in the bulk catalog I sent you because those prices are for 11 pound increments. More in line with the home brew pricing.

 

[ThatGuyRyan]

can anyone with the link to the catalog please PM the link to me!


Thanks

Ryan

Getting a quote today. I will try to post it later today, or tomorrow morning. The earliest I can pick it up is next Tuesday. If some of you can hook up with me prior, we can do payment then. Otherwise I will most likely float everybody and you can pay me when you pick up. (If we do payment at pick up time, it would have to be cash.)

 

[Brewenstein]

Please see below. This is copied from an e-mail from Mid-Country. So it looks like some of the spices will not be coming. Is this a deal breaker for anyone? I am trying to find out what, if any, of the other items are not in stock.



Attached is your quote. I am not allowed to sell home brewers Brewcraft items. So out of your misc list I could only sell you the sweet orange, the syrup and the PBW. I was able to sell you sweet orange because we also carry it under a vendor known as Sanfran Herb. Once you were to approve this quote I would turn it over into an invoice. Please be advised I also believe my Mid-Country facility is Out of Stock on the Belgian Candy Syrup and the 1# Mt Hood hops. There may be a bag or two shortage on grain I will look into that more for you. I am sorry for the inconvenience and please get back to me as soon as you can with any questions or concerns.

 

[Bilboa51]

Sounds good

 

[Schnibbz]

I am perfectly happy to send you money via paypal so you aren't floating me until I pick my sacks up, otherwise I'll just give you cash next week.

 

[pomalley44]

Ditto what Schnibbz said

So the puree and hop bag is out but the Sweet Orange, PBW and the Belgian Candi Syrup is ok but they are out of the Belgian # 2 that I requested? If that’s the case I will still take the sweet orange, pbw and if they have the regular dark Belgian candi syrup I will take a case of that. If they are out of that as well then I can just order the syrup next time. If I am reading this wrong and I can’t get anything besides the grain that is fine just let me know.

And as for the question about the distillers malt it is just basic malt used for making spirits and has a bit more diastic power / protein. Not that I am one to do such a thing. let’s say I use it as animal feed!

 

[Schnibbz]

Yes that is a good price. My brew partner's brother works for a place that makes the stuff (different name, of course) and gave us each a gallon for a 12 pack of beer! I am set forever . It appears to be the same stuff farmers use to clean cow teats. Bet you could pick some at a Farm and Fleet.

I already have 2.5 gallons so I am set. If anyone ever wants in on a case of Iodphor I am in.

 

[Brewenstein]

Order is already in. No changes or additions can be made.

 

[Brewenstein]

Any idea when anyone is coming to pick up?

 

[pomalley44]

I can pick up after work (6:30p-7p or so) Wed-Fri this week. How's that work?
