New England Grain Buy Sept 2014

[WouldBeBrewmaster]

I am in for 2.5 sacks at the moment. I just sent a message to my cousins who I brew with to see if they had any interest. If they do I might be good for another sack.

I started a split for Best Maltz Red X. It is a dark base malt that can self convert and is a bit less sweet and full than Munich. Seems cool for doing a Red IPA SMaSH or altbier or other experimentation.

There is a good thread on it here: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f12/red-x-malt-458487/

That malt sounds quite interesting, is it new or what? I've never come across a recipe calling for that.

I hadn't heard of it until I checked out the Best Malz website. Figured it would be a cool malt to experiment with on the cheap if some folks wanted to go in on a bag.

Hey anyone looking for cheap 22oz cases of bottles? I am thinking of setting up a buy they would be $11 a case delivered. Maybe cheaper if we get more people.

Case of 12 or 24?

 

[crazyirishman34]

22oz bottles are a case of 12 bottles. Normally they run about $13 plus delivery online and $17 locally

I might be in if enough other people hop aboard to drop the price more.

On another note, saw this on Reddit:

Looks like there is potential for grain prices to go up next year, so it's a great time for a group buy!

 

[crazyirishman34]

Yeah that is thebper pallet price on the bottles. A pallet holds 100 cases and adding a second pallet only drops the price 3 cents per bottle.

 

[mdam556]

I want in on this

 

[Gmull70]

first time adding my order to group buy,hope I did it correctly. 2 bags maris otter,and 2 bags two row. sheet says I owe 246 is that correct?

 

[Luther]

Somehow you ended up editing a cell in one of the locked sheets, which increased your price total. I fixed it.

Everyone - Please only edit the cells under your name on the first worksheet titled "Enter Order Here"

@fender230 I completed the RedX split that you had posted.

Please keep in mind there's a donation section towards the bottom of the spreadsheet. it's always nice to kick a little back for the people that organize.

Since this is my first group buy for grain I started looking at grain Mills. Any suggestions? Thinking about the Barley crusher with the 15 lb hopper

 

[crazyirishman34]

Stay far away from the barley crusher. I have one and it is a pain in the ass. After about 6 months it stopped pulling in grain half way through the crush. I would look at the crankenstien or monster mill.

+1 for MM. I love mine. Lots of people have issues with the BC and their customer service is apparently severely lacking.

People generally flame the cereal killer, but I've been happy with mine, and the price can't be beat. There were concerns about manufacture with early versions, but the current one does a great job.

What changes have they made to it? It looks just like my Barley Crusher.

 

[tellyho]

First generation had some issues with bushings and roller alignment, possibly others. But yes, looks just like your barley crusher, just made in China, yours for $99 generally, with free shipping.

I'm in - just 3 bags for me (MO, 2-row, pilsner).

This is my first go round one of these. If anyone else is thinking about chemicals, I'd order some PBW, but I don't want to trigger the hazmat fee all by myself just for 8 lb of PBW.

 

[crazyirishman34]

The best thing to do if you want PBW is post a 50# pail and take a portion. Most of the time it will fill and a 12# costs about the same as 8#.

 

[quaboagbrewing]

Thanks again for setting this up!!! 1st order for me.....certainly won't be my last. Great Deal.

I'd be in on this.....my co-workers keep forgetting to return my 22's so running low.

 

[crazyirishman34]

cool how many cases?

Ok, I've gone in for quarter of a 50# of PBW. Any idea what size of container I'd need for that? I guess a gallon pail would do it?

 

[crazyirishman34]

Yeah that is plenty big enough to hold it

 

[EatBeerSleep]

hey everybody. anyone looking to break up a order of sanitizer 4 ways?
Also I'm in for at least a couple of cases of bottles. (maybe 4)

 

[crazyirishman34]

Post it and they will come

 

[confuted]

I'm in for two sacks!

 

[crazyirishman34]

I only need one sack but go for it
