Perpetual NY/NJ/CT bulk grain thread?

[jaginger]

I would definitely take some crystal 60 as well. Maybe not a half bag, but 10-15 lbs if there is some to spare.

I think we're up to about 33 bags now!

 

[magnj]

On second though idk if I need a half a bag either, 1/3 or 1/4 might cut it.

 

[bad coffee]

I'll take 10# of crystal 60.

I also have an unopened bag of munich/vienna I can split up and bring on pickup. Let me know

[pickledherring]

an idea.. if we can get 6 guys to go in for 6 specialty grains we can stock up nicely and on the cheap.. each person picks a grain and we get pot luck..
i could use:
cara-wheat from Franco-Belges FB-CWHT
or Honey Malt from Gambrinus GB-Hony
let me know if anyone is interested.

if we can do this with hops it would be cool too

BTW joshuafields I am upping my order as well..
i'm in for a sack of:
CM-WHEAT
TF-MOPA
TF-GPRM
BD-MOPA
BZ-PILS
TF-PRL

if we dont order soon i may end up with a pallet myself...
Thanks Again!

I could use a couple of sacks of base grain and perhaps some splits on crystal, wheat, etc, etc.

Any of you Jersey guys care to haul grain for a fair price? I live in Monmouth Co. but travel up North as well for work. Will gladly share tolls and gas. I could always make the trip to Brooklyn as well?

I'll take 10# of crystal 60.

How old is the Munich/Vienna?

I'd be in for that 6 way split but that's not gonna be fun for whoever has to weigh it out.

 

[flananuts]

I live off of exit 109 and I could prolly load up the back of my jetta with the grain for friendly few lbs of specialty grains in exchange.

 

[pickledherring]

If it comes down to that i have no problem chopping up some grains... Perhaps we could be on the honor system, bring a scale, five bags and take 11#s of each?
Bad Coffee.. if you are looking to get rid of the Munich?vienna, throw it in for pot luck and get some diversification
Joshuafeilds.. you want in on this?...

i guess its a 5 way split not 6... my bad

 

[wilserbrewer]

Thanks flan for the offer! Count me in for a bag of Canada 2row and a bag of Canada pale. I'll also take a share of crystal, munich, wheat and whatever else is being whacked up for the group.

Send me bill when ya got it figured.

Thanks, Mike

 

[joshuafields]

Put me in for 1 - Marris Otter & 1 - 2 Row. Where is the p/u for this going to be at?

Unless someone else has a better idea, it will be delivered to my studio on 33rd ST between 2nd and 3rd Ave in Brooklyn. This is good because there is a loading dock and we can avoid paying a lift gate fee, but my studio is on the 5th floor so it will be best if as much of the grain as possible can be picked up on the day of delivery.

Hey pickledherring -- I really like the idea, just wondering if we're all going to be able to agree on malts we can all use. I know I could use some aromatic, for example, but definitely don't need any wheat or honey malt.

If the breakdown was to be 11# each, I'd be interested in:

Aromatic
chocolate
acidulated
Roasted Barley
flaked maize
flaked rice

Also, we're going to have to take a total bag count before we finalize something like this. I'm not sure if NCM will allow more than 40 bags on a pallet, and we probably don't want to wait for a second pallet to fill up before we place the order. I will finalize what I need with my brew buddy this weekend and we can go from there.

 

[joshuafields]

PS -- I emailed NCM to inquire about hops, as my schedule didn't allow for daytime phone calls this week. No reply... I'll see if I can call on Monday.

The grain is from the last group buy last July. The bag is unopened, and is in another plastic bag.

I have a scale and some ziplock bags. Dividing up the bag will only take 20 minutes. I'll just pull out the scale and the bucket.

[bad coffee]

I'm collating my recipes, I'll know what split grains I need in a week or so.

 

[magnj]

Alright, don't order a new bag of the vienna/munich for me...I'll pay for some of the bad coffee bag. Depending on the list of the specialty grains I might be interested. THings I might use...

Honey malt
Wheat
Pils
Crystal
Roasted
Chocolate
Aromatic

I haven't used maize or rice but might consider doing something with some of it. As far as picking it up I'd prefer not to drive to Brooklyn, if someone is willing to haul a little closer I'd chip in some gas money.

 

[Lenny2884]

I'd love to get in on this if it's not too late. I'd like to get a bag of Canadian pale and possibly some Canadian 2Row as well. If you guys are still looking for people to get in on partial bags of crystal, vienna, or munich i'd be in for that as well. If someone is willing to drive some bags to Jersey I'd happily help them out with some gas money. Hopefully I didn't show up too late to the bulk guy party. Love this idea!

Hey Lenny -- I think we're going to have to put a hold on new additions to the order for a couple days and firm up the orders of all brewers who have expressed interest up to this point. It would probably take a while to fill up a second pallet, so I want to finalize this first pallet and make sure we aren't over our limit. If we still have room, you are first in line. If you don't get on this pallet, we'll just start a tally for the next group buy; that's the idea behind this thread -- a perpetual group shopping list with more frequent orders.

 

[Lenny2884]

No problem, let me know.

 

[HopheadNJ]

I'm so happy I could cry... I'l take at least 2 bags of Marris Otter, are hops on the menu as well, these prices look like something out of a 1980's catalog... Can we specify which malter's grains we prefer? Who ever organized this is my hero.
Im in Montclair, Essex county, and would be happy to run sacks to the gardenstate for pick up.

Pickledherring - Let me know if you're still planning on heading east and p/u some sacks. I'm in for 2 bags, let me know and we can work something out. Montclair is an easy pickup for me. Can't wait for bulk grain! :rockin:

 

[bkov]

how many sacks are there so far? i dont need it but i would be in for sack of pilsner to help fill the pallet if pickledherrin doesnt mind picking it up. if hops are included(im not sure how NCM counts them for the pallet/shipping charge) i would be interested in half a pound of simcoe or northernbrewer.

i can set up a excel spreadsheet like last time if we want, shouldent take to long since i would just have to change the names and update the numbers

 

[bkov]

i know some other local guys i could ask also that would probably be in for some sacks but it looks like the pallet is almost full, if it isnt already.

 

[lordura]

I'd be in for 1 sack of CM-PALE if anyone in central/south jersey is willing to pick it up from NY and bring it a little closer for me.

 

[flananuts]

For all the Central and south jersey boys, if the sack count is higher than will fit in my jetta I'll kick SWMBO out of the SUV and pick up for folks. I'm just 10 minutes off of exit 109. And I take crystal malts and specialties as thank you's for making the trek

One big heads up, if the pick up is the 28th of jan to feb 11th I'll be in Florida for the super bowl and won't be able pick up.

 

[lordura]

I won't have any specialty grain but i'd gladly give you a few bucks towards your gas!

 

[flananuts]

No worries!

 

[jaginger]

Could you please change my bag to Maris Otter instead of 2-row? Thanks!

Also, if there's still some specialty grains to go around I'm up for splitting (10-15 lbs) of chocolate malt in addition to the crystal 60 i mentioned before.
