SYRACUSE NY - ROUND 3 Group Grain Buy

[BrewDiver]

With the price I was gonna pay for the organic C20 I can grab two bags of regular stuff which I'll do. So between that and the completed split order we should still be at 42bag minimum, I hope.

....if this doesnt make the 42 bags, i'm on for the 50% c20....I'll pick up any slack if need be. Just let me know.

 

[CidahMastah]

OK all - sorry for the hiatus - rents in this weekend so I couldn't comment.

Bigbrew - GW-C15 and a bag of GW-C40 is added for bigbrew as per his PM (he was first in line).

So that leaves 1 space for a bag open with smashing's withdrawal.

i.e. we need one bag - it looked like the c20 split was first to go through - guys please confirm.

Jhenderson
1. c20 (GW-C20) - 1/4 needs 2 people (brewdiver (1/2), Jhenderson (1/4), gergelgat 1/4)

I can't sumbit the order until monday a.m. so please try to get back to me today.

So in short - bigbrew added a bag, and the c20 split appears to be complete first in line.

Let me know if I missed something.

 

[jhenderson27]

Im good with anything.

Thanks,

Hi,

Thanks,

I just ordered a barley crusher. From what I hear they're great right out of the box, no project needed. Price wasn't too bad and looked better than alternatives.

Sounds good to me. Pull the trigger.

 

[CidahMastah]

I will submit the order to the buyer this morning (sheet I need to submit is at work). I will let everyone know when the actual pricing comes back. At that point - we can start making the payments for paypal.

 

[brehuh]

Sounds great! I am also in need for a mill. I need to start looking.

Well if you find one better and cheaper than the Barley Crusher (http://www.barleycrusher.com/barleycrusher.php), don't tell me because mine is on the way!

I can take a 3rd of the white wheat to complete a sack.

 

[CidahMastah]

I can take a 3rd of the white wheat to complete a sack.

I have you down - will get the quote request out - thanks for being a trooper brewdiver!

Brewdiver what type of white wheat were you looking at (brand) - i.e. BZ-WHT/CM-WHET, etc.?

 

[CidahMastah]

OK - I am going to put down BZ-WHT for the white wheat split - in effort to get this order quoted - hopefully this is what you are looking for.

Thanks

Hi,
Anyone have a mill for sale or great instructions for a project mill?
Thanks,

if you are looking for a how to thread for corona styled mills check out my ugly junk. Of course I linked you into the shot of my ugly junk; i.e. my "grain silo"

Short version is - corona's, barley crushers, monster mills etc all work very well, depends on how much coin you have, have how much effort you are willing to make to adapt a corona mill.

 

[jhenderson27]

<3 my corona mill!

 

[CidahMastah]

+1 on my corona

 

[Ender]

Has NCM given you guys any beef about not getting the 2000lb price break? We just completed our buy and the lady I worked with said since we were homebrewers we werent getting the 2000lb price, just the 1000lb price. But she sent an email earlier saying we would get the price since we were getting a pallet. glad I saved that email.

She said they were getting more and more strigent about us homebrewers

What the heck, we get as much as a small brewpub, just not as often!

Really? that is crap man. If they put the squeeze on us, they will lose the sales that they are getting. our combined buys make a big difference in sale volume...

We haven't heard back on our quote just yet - perhaps we will have to open a company for brewing, get the co tax number so we can avoid getting the shaft....

Hey man - I jsut pmed you - can you send me that email so I can forward to our buyer - to give him a heads up?

They all ready bend us over for shipping... wtf

 

[CidahMastah]

Here is the final order setup - please check and keep for your records for your splits:

 

[jhenderson27]

Im good. I bought more than i should have but i wont need to buy for awhile. Cidah i got my red ale forced carbed and used my biermuncher botteling want and its amazing. Im not a big fan of reds but damn i like this. Did you like my torpedo pic i sent you.

Yeah that was awesome. So do could you tell the difference? And most importantly - is that IPA growing on you?

I love it, and have my batch awaiting a spot in my kegerator....


EDIT: by the way did you do a 90 minute boil? or 60?

 

[jhenderson27]

60. Hops were amazing. I have always been a floral/fruity hop style guy, this hits the mark. I would only change the dryhopping to only use Citra. But not a single complaint.

awesome - really glad you liked it. I would never recc something I wouldn't want to re-brew myself. See there definitely is a piney bit of hops in there (that I love too). But I like Gin in this summer

 

[rustbucket]

so is the citra def worth a try in a brew.. i think when i get enough time i want to a torpedo clone.. i had on the other day.. man that was good... but didnt knwo that it had critra until after, it was hard to think of the taste thinking back.

The citra are absolutely worth it. I liked them so much in the torpedo I dry hopped an amarillo pale ale I did with them - they were great in there too.

The citra are only in the dry hopping - but they are potent and make a big difference. The main hops are cyrstal and magnum. If you like IPAs, and I know you do , this recipe is worth a go IMO.

tried some of the Rye IPA last night... right now it is really good, super hoppy, fantastic. It is still about 4 weeks old, so still changing. Man I am glad I went in on 1/2 bag of rye. The columbus hops are really good, and the rye cuts into them to balance the brew. I might have to do a rebrew of this one soon - this is a great beer. Another hoppy sipper.

 

[jhenderson27]

So if we dont get this buy going and the 6er switch im gonna be drinking your guys beers soon. The red ale is tasty. The IPA like i said is a wonderful bitch slap of hops and the stouts are yum.

haha - you better not!

Well, down side of that is you won't get all the fun swaps!

I am looking forward to some serious brewing this weekend... I want to go for two batches to get me back on track. With those new kegs, I now can store the beers while they await the pipeline.

Next up on the menu is a blue moon styled witbier - and about 4 others that I want to brew.... Actually I think i might be doing a killian's clone of sorts too - an ale version though.

 

[CidahMastah]

Not sure if we will make it this week on the grain buy though. Absolutely no chance if all the payments aren't "instant".

PLEASE NOTE:

It would be greatly appreciated if you could try to check HBT at least once a day from now until you hear more information about payment. This will expedite the order. Once the payment is in it usually takes 2-4 days for the order to arrive.
