I know TRUB is doing a grain buy, I made the suggestion to talk to you and use your pricing. They have a place to deliver too. I can pass the word on the grains. Can you send me the list?

 

[argyle]

I do have some Pearl malt on hold for you if you still want it.

Yeah that'd be great!

TANGLED UP IN BREW No.5

I post this event on here every year in the hope to get some support and interest in this event . I know some of you attended last year and by all reports had a great time. I wanted to get the word out sooner, but unfortunately I got pretty busy painting the exterior of my house. Still not finished!

They are still looking for brewers to enter the competition and pour home brew to the paying attendees.. If not interested in pouring and competing, its a great event to attend and try some home brew by the Youghiogheny. There is a facebook page for the event, but its not very good. So if you need information or entry forms or tickets, I can help you out, just PM me. I am not an organizer of the event, but have participated as a brewer every year. I will have post more information in the days to come.

Anyone know a good place to buy bulk rye berries around town? I was buying them at Whole Foods Wexford for $1/lb, but they just stopped carrying them.

Ive tried a couple of the farms that advertise on craigslist, but they dont want to deal with you for under 10 bushels. I can store 1 bushel at most.

 

[MerlinWerks]

I'm pretty sure Frankferd Farms has them:

Page 40 in their catalog...

You can pick them up at their warehouse on Saxonburg Blvd. just off Rt. 228.

 

[joyceman]

Thanks Merlin, exactly what I was looking for. I was a couple of miles away on 910 just last weekend.

Any plans for another buy? I just made a 'kitchen sink' brew with the remnants of my grain stash and am looking at buying more. I'd be more than happy with no-splits or DIY splits.

On another front, where's the best LHBS east of the city? I see that South Hills Monroeville has shut down.

 

[PJM]

I am in need of some grain too.

 

[brewguyver]

Not sure what future plans are. I know TRUB did one over the summer and might be starting one up again. Country Wines is now going bulk discounts from their north location.

If you're in a pinch let me know. I can part with the base grains I have left as long as you're willing to take some specialty as well (don't want to try an all crystal recipe). I should have some domestic 2 row, 6 row, and some British base malt left.

 

[trimixdiver1]

TRUB will be doing one soon though Helltown Brewing. I just have to get the prices together. Looking early in January. I'm just too busy brewing right now.

Thanks

 

[coyote68]

i'm in for early January too. keep us posted.

 

[kpr121]

Yes please keep us posted on the TRUB buy if you can? Im not a member is there any other information we can get?

I wouldn't want to dig into your stash, but what specialty grains are you looking to get rid of? If it's something interesting, maybe we could work out a package with a sack of 2 row?

Don't worry about it at all if you'd rather hang on to what you have. It's really not that big of a deal if I have to pay lhbs prices for a batch or two until a group option is available.

 

[brewguyver]

I probably won't be brewing for the next 6+ months or so. I put the whole thing up on Craigslist, along with 4 ball lock kegs (prefer to sell those to someone with the rest, since they're an attention grabber).

Happy to hold onto the barley crusher, and open to a fair offer.

The TRUB grain buy is happening now and orders need to be in by January 24th. Details on the TRUB site. I do believe you need to be a member to participate in the grain buys though. At least in the past that's how they did it. For $20 a year it would still be cheaper to become a member just to buy grain in bulk than buying grain per recipe.

 

[hio3791]

Ugh, I missed this post. Any group buys in progress?

I'm calling in the order tomorrow, what do you need?

What order?

 

[trimixdiver1]

What order?

TRASH, TRUB and WAZE had a group buy through us at Helltown. I may have some extra, what are you looking for?

I'm not always on this site, so it's much easier to use the clubs to get the word out.

 

[hio3791]

I didn't know about the buy. I'm looking for 1 sack each of 2row, pils and Vienna. Price, pick up location and date/time? Feel free to PM me.

 

[MerlinWerks]

@trimixdiver1

I sent you a PM earlier today

Could use a couple sacks each, MO and either Pils or pale ale/ 2-row

For the 3 guys that need grain. Stop by Helltown Brewing 13 Henry C Frick St Mt Pleasant Pa 15666 this Saturday at noon, Prices are cost plus $5 to cover shipping and pallet charge. In the future I'm only going to inform the clubs of a buy. Just too much to check everyday. Also I will be adding group buy orders to our regular order (monthly) so starting in May, just call the Brewery and order what you want. 80% is Country Malt Group 20% is BSG.

Thanks
Pat
