New England Grain Buy Sept 2014

[crazyirishman34]

I will look into it

I'm in southern VT and might be able to help out with kegs. I need to get past this weekend when I'm helping to host a Halloween event for kids charity before I can figure out the details. I'll also need to get my name on the buy.

If they are palletized and at a dock I could probably schedule a pickup with one of our transports.

Yeah judging by the pictures he has a few pallets, but I don't know how many people would want them, now how many fit on a pallet. He had 80 of them.

 

[crazyirishman34]

You can get 45 sixth kegs on a pallet.

 

[aslander]

I fixed the error, it looks like someone had shifted the Grain Type for splits 5 and 6 up a cell.

It also looks like someone deleted the order for BleacherBrewing, which impacted splits 6 and 7. I will double check with him to verify that he wanted to cancel his order.

 

[crazyirishman34]

Thanks for sorting that out. I am a spreadsheet newbie.

 

[m00se]

I'd be in for a ball lock corny or two

 

[Clankenbrew]

Kegs are cool. I would be interested as well. Just builting my 6 tap keezer and only have 5 kegs. A friend will want 2 also. Let me know... Thanks

I'm interested in kegs too? Prices?

 

[Schecter]

Kegs? Did someone say kegs?

 

[orangehero]

Anyone interested in splitting a case of acid cleaner #5?

 

[quaboagbrewing]

I might be in on a few kegs as well. Only have 2 currently which is somewhat limiting.

 

[63belair]

Potentially in for kegs

 

[aslander]

Okay, hold off on the keg posts until I determine whether or not this is something I can even work out. Once it looks promising, we can put a line item on the group buy sheet for people to sign up. Stay tuned.

 

[Gmull70]

I could use one more keg, ball lock? And are we concerned that they will hold the pressure?

 

[Skipper74]

Are you planning to close the buy after 3 pallets fill? Right now the sheet says there will be a total of 168 bags, which I believe is four pallets.

 

[Schecter]

What is it, 40 bags a pallet? I think we welcome as many pallets as our livers can handle, no?

Another shameless plug to donate to these guys. Fantastic ongoing group buy that helps ALL OF US save countless dollars. Throwing a $5 to each doesn't hurt at all. Cheers to aslander and crazyirishman34.

 

[crazyirishman34]

I am going to do 4 pallets and see how quickly it fills. Really I wont be able to run another for 6 months or so. You should buy grain assuming that it will have to last 8 months.

 

[Redmanll34]

I'm sorry I have never done a group buy before, How do I add what I want to my order, I am sorry for my ignorance on this topic


edit..... I think I found this out!

 

[crazyirishman34]

Fine an empty column add you name at the top. Then scroll down to the full bag area and fine what you want. Add the number of bags in the row that corresponds to that type of grain

I noticed that hops are listed in the catalog. Can we add them to the order?

 

[crazyirishman34]

We can order hops. Two things that you should know is the smallest package that they come in is 11lbs. and that what you want might not be available at the time I place the order.

 

[crazyirishman34]

Redman I moved your order into an empty column

 

[adrock430]

I'd like to add a 0.5 split of brown malt, close out the 0.5 of wheat, and maybe add some crystal splits...lemme know if you can add me to the spreadsheet.
Thanks, Adam

 

[crazyirishman34]

Adam the sheet is open so feel free to add your order.

 

[63belair]

I'm in for a bag of wheat malt, thanks again for organizing this!

 

[Schecter]

For those of us buying TF pearl for a Headytopper clone...anyone have Conan yeast / need Conan yeast? I have a case of headytopper left, I plan on culturing if no one has available.

 

[crazyirishman34]

Schecter do you get up to VT much? I have a pal on the west coast that would love some Heady. Would it be possible for me to buy/swap for some?

I have some in a fridge that I stepped up a couple times from dregs. Was going to get around to putting it on slants, was just waiting a couple weeks to make sure my slants didnt have any bugs in them. I'll put that on my todo list for tonight or tomorrow.

Do you have any yeasts to trade? I like collecting slants

 

[Zinc_Saucier]

For new chem orders should I add it to the current PBW line? Instructions say not to add a new line.

Thanks

 

[crazyirishman34]

No just add a new line with the PBW code. Some how those got deleted
