Official Denver CMC Group Buy #6

[riverfrontbrewer]

I am going to be in for 150-200lbs on the next one.......November?

 

[Musketear]

I tore right through this, should have bought 200lb's. Maybe 300.

And, all the beers turned out great. Can't wait for the next one.

Yea... Not only am making a ton of beer, but I just started distilling (for fuel, of course). Making a 10 gallon wash takes a lot of grain. I will probably be ready for a new buy soon!

 

[riverfrontbrewer]

Are you a pro distiller or am amatuer felon?!

 

[ChilledWort]

I just noticed these group buys have been going on... mind is blown that I've been missing out. I would be in for at least 200 pounds on the next one.

 

[dallasdb]

It sounds like we need to start organizing another order!

 

[Tarheel4985]

I would be in for at least 200 as well.

 

[dallasdb]

So is Dahoov or Musketear organizing the next one? I think there is enough interest/need to get one started!

 

[graybabe]

Yeah I would be in for at least 100lbs.

 

[darm0v]

I will be in for another 100 lbs. Hopefully Dahoov is involved again. Sampling his beers was the high point of the experience for me. That guy knows what he is doing.

Just got a response from Colorado Malting:

"Thanks, Chris, for contacting Colorado Malting Company!
Another group buy sounds great!! Thanks for keeping it All Colorado!
I'm Tim Cody, and I will be handling all the homebrewer contacts for Jason.

Our new Fall pricing:
The price for all bulk malted barley is 89 cents per lb or $44.50 per 50 lb sack.
The price for all bulk malted wheat is 95 cents per lb or $47.50 per 50 lb sack.
Delivery truck with liftgate to Denver: $250

What time frame are you guys looking at?"

 

[Stretch]

Any chance of the Belgian pale again? What about specialties like millet or other gluten free offerings? I'm thinking it would be fun to try out.

 

[MrTheKing]

Count me in for 200# barley.

I just got done doughing in the last of my 100# order from last time - 2lbs short of my grain bill for this guy

 

[paleale22]

I'd be in for 100 lbs as well.

 

[Leadgolem]

Hmm, barley crops must have been bad this year. That's up 18.6% from the last GB. Wheat is up 11.7%.

 

[riverfrontbrewer]

Could be, but I know the demand side is driving CMC's price up as well. Still much better than the LHBS @ $69 + 8% tax.....BUT with the new delivery charge we would have to have a roughly 3,000 lb order to keep the per bag price at around $50. And by my count we are only at about 1,100 lbs of interest so far..........

 

[graybabe]

I am just curious but is CMC 2 row that much better than rahr 2 row. I get rahr for .75/lb so the CMC prices don't really make it worth it anymore. Don't get me wrong I know rahr is not the best but is CMC worth 1.00/lb? Or more if this group buy doesn't get more interest.

 

[riverfrontbrewer]

Gray-

I would say that is each individuals call....is it 25-30% better than rahr? I don't know.......is it grown in our backyard by good people...yes. I will contemplating this same question when the last of my grain is gone, probably around mid Oct.

 

[d_striker]

I'm interested in 100 lbs of 2-Row. I'm in COS though.

 

[MickeyD]

I am in for at least 100 lbs of 2-Row.

 

[Dawas]

Just to help keep it going I will pick up 100 lbs of the 2-row also.

 

[darm0v]

I am in for 100 lbs as well.

 

[mothership]

Count me in fr 100lbs of 2-row

 

[graybabe]

I'm interested if we can get the Belgian pale and pilsener again.

 

[QuaffableQuips]

I am in for 100 lb of pale malt and 50 lb of wheat malt when we do the next group buy.

If the Belgian pale is available, I would be in for 50 lb of it as well if that helps get us closer.

 

[pjk49202]

Hmm, I'll have to think about this one. I really like their two row.

 

[BigBlueDog]

I'll go in for 50# of the pale malt. It's about all I have room for, but if the Belgian pale is available, I would squeeze in 50# of that as well.

Based on a quick scan of the last few pages, it looks like this buy is up to around 1600 pounds, so delivery is currently at $7.81 per 50# sack. Total per sack pricing, for comparison purposes:

Barley: $44.50 + $7.81 = $52.31
Wheat: $47.50 + 7.81 = $55.31

 

[mothership]

By the way, what kinda time frame are we looking at here? Also, what's the time in between buys? If its six months between buys, then I'm in for considerably more

 

[DENBrewer]

I'm in for 150 lbs of 2-row and 100 lbs of Belgian if its available.

 

[riverfrontbrewer]

Do we have any volunteers to put this together?

 

[BigBlueDog]

By the way, what kinda time frame are we looking at here? Also, what's the time in between buys?

I didn't get in on the last buy, but based on posts earlier in this thread, it looks like delivery was in late June. Assuming this buy comes together for later this month or early next, that would be 4-ish months.

Do we have any volunteers to put this together?

I'll put together a google docs spreadsheet to see where things are and link that back here.
