Southeastern VA/Eastern NC???

[jmcquesten]

I'm near Charlotte, NC. Not sure how far away pickup would be, but keep me in mind if close. I've been looking for a group buy around here. I live in Clover, SC but work in Charlotte.

That's probably about 6 hours away from here (VA Beach), so I'm not sure if it would be worth it for you. I guess if you got enough, but a couple bags with shipping might be a better option vs a 12 hr round trip.

Thanks for the reply. Yeah 6 hours is a bit far for this. If there's no group buys around the Charlotte area, then I'll just order online because my LHBS is a bit high in pricing for my tastes. Plus for 2-row they only carry Briess

Thank you for setting something up. I no longer live in the area but wish you all the best

Is this still active? I moved from Maryland, where I was part of the DC group buys. I would certainly be interested in a local group buy.

FYI, Carolina Malt House in Statesville area will sell 50# sacks to home brewers. They just started up a few months ago and only have ‘base’ malt, Pilsner malt and distillers malt. Prices are something like $.45/lb for Pilsner and $.55/lb for base if I remember correctly. I picked up a sack of Pilsner last month but haven’t had a chance to use it.

I think they said the Pilsner I picked up is 6-row but can’t remember. All their grain comes from NC and within 30 miles of their malt house.

Hopefully I’ll get to brew with the Pilsner in the next couple weeks.

Epiphany malt house in Durham will also sell to home brewers, although they prefer you purchase through a lhbs. But they did say they wouldn’t turn anybody down if they showed up to buy. I think their prices were around $45/sack.

Both carolina malt house and epiphany were very responsive when I called them.

Yes. We are trying to start getting another order together now.

 

[Wreck99]

Sweet let me know!

 

[Ironedge]

Excellent. Who is the group buy through and is there a price list?

 

[newbrewer001]

Yes. We are trying to start getting another order together now.

INterested in getting in on your group buy if it is still going to happen. Live in obx but come to va beach all the time and have tons of family up there.

Any group buys going on recently?

 

[jmcquesten]

It's been a while since the last one. I'm hoping to get back to brewing more, so I'll probably be trying to get something together soon. There was never much interest in the bulk buys that we did, so it was hard to keep the hookup that I found. I'm trying to find another brewery that is willing to work with us, but most of them aren't too open to the idea.

 

[Heitdj22]

Are you located in va beach?

 

[jmcquesten]

I am in va beach
