New England June 2015 Grain Buy

[Gaartok]

Many thanks to all for this, it's much appreciated!

And thanks to Zinc for getting my order to CT from MA!

If any of you are ever in the Wallingford, CT neck of the woods, stop by for a cold one.

Anyone need a sack of golden promise? Thought I had room, turns out, not so much...

 

[RockfordWhite]

When is the next NE grain buy?

 

[Zinc_Saucier]

Probably not for a few months?

 

[crazyirishman34]

I could post a new one now but it most likely wouldn't fill for a couple months.

Just curious if as part of any of the buys (or perhaps a separate buy) the group has done say a pallet of 22's. I need about 10 cases......a brewery in CT was going to hook me up at $8 per case but bailed so I'm looking for other options. I think a pallet of 22oz cases is about $520 plus shipping........split this between a few home brewers and should be way less then paying the $14 per case at the LHBS. If anyone has any other sources open to suggestions.....just trying to save a few $$$. My 22's seem to have a way of not finding their way back to me after sharing with colleagues.

 

[crazyirishman34]

Too bad you didn't let me know I picked up a bunch from Mercury for our cask bottling. We might have extra cases for $8 each.

 

[quaboagbrewing]

Damn.....bad timing. Donovan.....let me know if you end up with any extra cases. I'll take whatever you can spare. Have a brett wit and brett saison that needs to get packaged soon.......and a RIS on the horizon.

 

[crazyirishman34]

Will do

 

[Zinc_Saucier]

Damn.....bad timing. Donovan.....let me know if you end up with any extra cases. I'll take whatever you can spare.

This +1. Need to package ~16cs worth of 22s

 

[crazyirishman34]

I don't think that we are going to have 16 cases left over.

Just thought I'd throw this out to the group. Looking for suggestions on good places to acquire used bourbon whiskey barrels (bung intact). In the past I good luck snagging barrels from Jack's Abby when they were done with them (was great deal at $50 per barrel) but been a while since they have made any available. May be doing a 10bbl batch of foreign stout in the near future and we're thinking about letting it barrel age for a bit. I know a few of the smaller distillers in the area have the smaller barrels that would be great for home brewing but this time we need the big boys. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I did reach out to Jack Hendler @ Jack's Abby as well to see if they may be dumping any again in the near future. Hard to go wrong with $50 barrels (have one at home that they had used for Baby Maker).

Anyone interested in expanding their equipment, I'm selling my all electric brewery, kegs, keezer, etc. You can see the listing in the for sale forum.

 

[Krazlikesbeer]

I think through the but we could get Jack Daniels barrels. Donovan can you confirm?

 

[crazyirishman34]

I know of one place selling Jim Beam barrels. I am also working on getting some rum barrels from Puerto Rico.

 

[Clankenbrew]

Someone in Maine has Jim beam barrels for 150 each on craigslist..

 

[Gmull70]

Wondering when will there be another grain buy?

 

[crazyirishman34]

I will start one this week. Just need to find time to post a new thread.

 

[tjmac5071]

This is great news I am in need of a few bags

 

[aouellette86]

Im in for a few bags as well....

 

[crazyirishman34]

Hey guys I am going to be posting a new buy very soon. Just going through some business things that I have to sort out first

 

[tellyho]
