north nj/ny groupbuy #3 April/May

[Airborneguy]

Defiant sounds cool. I'll probably hang out for a few beers.

 

[Lenny2884]

I'd be in for a sack if Defiant is the pick-up. Neil is a great guy and loves trying other peoples beers. He has some tasty brews himself.

 

[fineexampl]

I have never heard of Defiant, but it's near the outlets and that means i can talk the wife into taking a drive.

I haven't been on the forum for a couple weeks and just got up to speed with the new group buy. I'm happy to see it moving forward! I'll do some thinking and put together an order. I'd guess we'll want 5-8 sacks.

Thanks for taking on the organization effort, bkov! And the Defiant idea sounds great!

 

[user 7154]

bkov I'd like:

one sack Franco Belges Pils
Plus, I'm in on 1/3 rice hulls with JoMarky & Springer AND 1/2 Vienna with JoMarky

I'm also trying to get some more details from Neill Acer about a Defiant delivery location. So far he said that anytime after 2pm, weekdays however he didn't specify if that was simply for the delivery or if he wanted everyone to get their sacks the day of delivery, etc. My club meets there Wednesday so hopefully I'll get to see him and get more details.

So, for the people more familiar with the details, is there a way to eyeball a ETA on the totals and pickup day?

The first page shows around 20 sacks...42 is the goal...not saying that it couldn't be cut short. ETA IMO early may????

I'd say that's a good estimation

That'll work for me. If not, i can figure it out.

If you want to save yourself a bazillion headaches, pick one brand per variety. It's a hassle to manage three different kinds of Maris, three different pils, etc on a full pallet. I doubt anyone would back out if they had to get TF instead of Bairds, etc.

There are no headaches when it comes to splitting different brands of the same type. The bigger problem is when it is the same company like canadian malting, then finding the different two row, pils or pale malt by the little mark in the box. The color of the sacks, size,and logos are the same.

There is difinitely a flavor difference between maltsters, for example best malz pils, compared to canadian malting, or franco belges.

On Maris Otter a difinite difference between Bairds and T.Fawcetts in flavor. If you use one type stick with it unless you want to try something new. If doing german beers use german malts, belgian brews, french/belgian

Bkov - I replied to your PM (which I'm sure you know) But just in case, add another sack of Franco Belges Pils.

 

[Lenny2884]

You can put me down for a sack of Best Malz Pilsen. I'd also be up for splitting a sack of munich or vienna if anyone else is interested.

Hey Ken, I'll ask my brother today about using his place. I just read the message on brew bros, I haven't used that site in a few months. Let me know if you still need his place, if so I'm in for 3 or 4 bags.

 

[joshuafields]

Hey bkov and all...
We're working on finalizing our order; hopefully we'll be able to post it tomorrow. It looks like we'll be in for at least 8 sacks, so that should get us quite a bit closer to a full pallet.
Hope everyone is having a relaxing Saturday.

Josh

 

[fineexampl]

I hope everyone local can buy more sacks to load up that pallet.

I'd be willing to go in on a bag of wheat malt with 1 or 2 people if it helps.

If it’s no problem/inconvenience for your brother, this location would work out better for me. But I’m only ordering 2sacks, so whatever is easiest is for the majority.

 

[Airborneguy]

Where are the locations we are talking about?

 

[bkov]

Currently:
-Defiant Brewing Co in Pearl River, NY
Or possibly:
-Anchor Rent All located RT 17 North, Upper Saddle River, NJ

 

[Lenny2884]

Rommel, I'll definitely go in for a bag of munich with you. Any preference on the maltster?

Nope, your choice. I really haven't used it enough to form an opinion.

 

[frogman]

If there is room on the pallet I'm in for
1 bag of Fawcett's Maris Otter
1 sack of Best pils,
2 sacks of CMC 2 row.

Thanks Rob

Also is anyone interested in splitting a sack of wheat??

i'd go in on some wheat. how much are you thinking. I don't need much, but could probably be coerced into half.

I'll go halves with you on a bag of wheat. I was looking for half myself, if you don't need a full half thats cool, but think about all the nice hefeweizen or belgian wheat you can make.
Just trying a little coercion

 

[fl93]

How soon is the order going in? Looking for 1 or 2 sacks of 2 row.

We're trying to get the pallet filled (up to 42 sacks). I would assume that we'd get delivery in the early portion of May. That doesn't mean that we need to get a full pallet.

 

[Bender]

I'm interested in two sacks of the CM-2ROW

Well, you and the fact i quit my job today have convinced me i have additional income and to celebrate! Half it is!

 

[Airborneguy]

Add a bag of wheat for me. Thanks, I think that's it finally!
