South Jersey/Philly/Delaware Group buy!

[flyerwire]

homer buckets are perfect, i have 10 in my basement full, 2 doesnt quite hold a full bag so you are going to have some left over. No need for bags and ties on the buckets, they have gasketed lids and are food safe

 

[defenestrate]

so one of these should be good for <20 lbs of grain then?

yeah shouldnt have a problem on that... i did manage to fit one of the bags into 2, but it was extremely tight and wasnt worth the effort, under 20lbs you shouldnt have a problem, and you cant beat the price

Sounds good if they have lids.

I didn't see any lids with the ones on the end cap when I was last there.

yeah it seems odd- online they have single buckets, packs of 3 and packs of 5-the five for $11 and change... only mention of lids is: (lids available) ...well they arent online.

I got my homer buckets in the store and they had plenty of lids. The lids are sold separately for $.99 and the buckets are something like $2.39 each. In my store they have tons of them on every other end cap and near the cleaning supplies. The lids are very tight fitting and have a nice thick rubber gasket.

Just want to give everyone a reminder about tomorrow! 7-7:30pm pick up! If anyone has any trouble making it, please give me a call so we can make arrangements to get your grain to you.

Thanks and see you all tomorrow!

 

[sethga]

Anyone interested in the Jug afterwards??

 

[lordura]

When arriving at NEMF, pull through the gate and all the way around the building to the ramp. Look for a white mazda!

A Huge Thanks To Our Organizer!!!!!!!!

 

[lordura]

You're welcome! It was nice meeting you guys!

 

[sethga]

Thanks again for organizing this Jeff! I am stocked up for quite some time.

Anyone who missed the buy... I suggest you post up a thread and I bet you will find enough people to get your own going! No need to wait around for another

 

[skarude]

+1 on the Huge Thanks to our organizer!!!! I look forward to continuing these when I run out in a few months!

 

[HarkinBanks]

Many thanks Jeff, that was unbelievably easy pick-up. Hopefully the next one won't be freezing and we can all exchange some homebrew.

 

[skarude]

Good point on the homebrew swap, I also think some brews for the forklift driver would help ensure they let us use their lot for the pickup again!

 

[BigBear810]

If I can ask since I missed out on this buy this time, how soon will there be another buy? I would definitely like to get in on this.

 

[twoodward15]

I may actually organize another soon. We have some club members that would like a few sacks and I found out friday night at a meeting that one of our members has a loading dock at work that we can use. We would like to order 11 pound bags of hops to split as well. I'm going to bring it up at our next meeting and if we can get enough people in on it then I will post it here.

 

[skarude]

Based on the number of responses on here I would bet you could fill a pallet within a few days by just starting your own buy. You could also just try to organize the the next buy right in this thread. Picking up at the terminal worked out really well so I am not even sure you need a location with a loading dock.

 

[defenestrate]

hopefully they will send RYE next time its all good, i'm be sure to make use of the M.O.

I'm still going to call to let them know that they missed that one. I'd be in for a few bags next round. Pils, Wheat and maybe 1/2 of Munich.

 

[rtt121]

Jeff thanks again this was very easy and smooth.

I am not sure how this happened as it seemed I checked every bag 4 times. But I woke up to the RYE in my trunk!

I feel this is my fault so I will deliver the third to wherever they need to go. Defenestrate and Skarude... PM me and I will drop off tonight or tomorrow.
Obviously I counted it as 2-row last night, so I need the MO/ or 2 row I dont care back and we will all be straight I believe.


Sorry Guys!!!

 

[sethga]

ahh the mystery is solved.. We figured that happened.. no worries man

 

[rtt121]

Hah I thought everyone had double checked everyone. Oh well. Again Sorry!

 

[skarude]

Ha that is some funny ****! Any how I will send the bucket of MO back to Jersey with Seth tonight and you can figure out when to make the swap with him.

 

[skarude]

Now I get to test my skills figuring out which bucket has the MO. Anyone got some tips for picking it out? I should have labeled the buckets last night!

well its actually the lightest of the 3, and if you taste them the MO has more of a bread taste vs the malty taste of the munich and the sweet taste of the C60.

 

[skarude]

Taste did it!

 

[lordura]

Glad we found the bag finally!

Seth, are you really in Maple Shade? I'm in MS also. Right by 73/Woodlawn.

 

[sethga]

Yeah man, I am in Ryan's Run East..

 

[lordura]

Yeah man, I am in Ryan's Run East..

Cool. ... apartment brewing? I'd set up shop right in the parking lot if I were you!
