Raleigh Area Group Grain Buy-Round 4

[Walker]

Well, I still need to run it by the swmbo, but I would want something I could use at least in an amber ale, as that will be my next brew, and then I dunno what I will be brewing after that. My last brew used Marris Otter (which was also my first brew) so it holds a special place in my heart, but if its ridiculously more expensive than the domestic 2-row I'll probably just head the domestic route then.

You can get a sack of Maris Otter for about $42. That's $10 more than canadian two-row, but is still a HELL of of a good deal.

For example. A sack of Marris Otter is around $72 retail, so you're saving around $30/bag.

Domestic 2-row is aorund $50-52, so there you're saving around $20/bag.

I'm set on base grains for awhile. But I just looked at my inventory and I would like to split a bag of Crystal 60 and/or Cara-pils with someone. A three-way split would be ideal. I can't pass-up the savings!

I was thinking about some C60, but was hoping for more than a 3-way split. I don't really need 18# of it.

Yeah, that might be a little much. I still have some C15 from the very 1st buy!
3 or 4 way split would be fine.

I'm in for splitting C60 3 or 4 ways.

Nobody's getting hops from them? Their prices are kick-a$$!

If you read the thread you will see we cannot order hops due to spot pricing and hassles of shipping.

Must'a read it too quick...

I could get down for a 1/4 or less share of some 60.

Indeed. It's the 4th sentence in the thread.

 

[Barc]

In for C60 3 or 4 ways, as well.

Ok. That's 4 of us. I'll add the C60 to the spreadsheet. The only one offered is the canadian, unless I missed something, so I'll use that.

too bad, m*therf*cker. You are too late.

 

[skeeordye11]

10# is fine with me if we wanted to go 5-way.

 

[Walker]

10# is fine with me if we wanted to go 5-way.

agreed.

Reel/foltster.... 5 way split on a sack of C60?

 

[Reelale]

10# is fine with me if we wanted to go 5-way.

That's kinky.

 

[Reelale]

agreed.

Reel/foltster.... 5 way split on a sack of C60?

I'm in.

 

[foltster]

I'm in.

I'm in. I was tempted to say no just to spite Barc but then I realized this is HBT and not GRABASS

With 10Lbs of crystal 60...can you say Celebration Ale Clone!!!

[Walker]

reel/barc... we're get the sweet end of this. foltster and skee are bad at math. 55/5 = 11, but they only want 10.

 

[HoppyGus]

I'll give you $0.50 for that extra pound.

 

[Reelale]

reel/barc... we're get the sweet end of this. foltster and skee are bad at math. 55/5 = 11, but they only want 10.

Yep, unless it's domestic, from GW then it's 10 lbs. But let's just keep this between us guys, mkay?

Great western was the only company I saw that sold straight up C60. By the 50# sack.

yep. yer right. my bad.

we are at 20 bags now.

 

[mtbrider]

I guess this means I have to buy a grain mill now also? The SWMBO is going to freak!!

Country Malt WILL mill the grain for you for $2/bag if you want,but yeah... a mill is a good piece of gear to have.

HAHA That's what I said last grain buy. It is a slippery slope
Now all we need is a group buy for grain mills. :rockin:

 

[Chad]

In the long term, yes. In the short term there are always a couple of mills 'n' drills set up at our group brews, so if you brew at one of those you can just crush your grains there. Outside of group brews there are enough GRABASS members that somebody could loan you a mill or, if they are brewing within a day or two of you, let you come by and run your grains through their mill.

 

[skeeordye11]

I've said it before, but a mill might be the greatest piece of brewing equipment I have ever purchased. FWIW.

 

[Barc]

I'd tend to agree. I do like the mill / cordless drill combo, though. Do yourself a favor and buy one. Or maybe it's just my tiny arms that can't cut it.
