Syracuse, ny - round 6 group grain buy

[Strecker25]

Hi- I am new to the whole group order thing and am confused as to what grains some of the numeric codes stand for. I was able to figure some of them out but the rest I have no clue about. Is there a chart available to help me decipher this? I thank you in advance.

BD-MOPA- Marris Otter
BZ-HDBR- ?
BZ-CRPL- ?
BZ-LCRM- ?
GW-C40- ?
GW-C60 - ?

if you take a look on the first page you can find the link to the catalog to download. From there, the easiest way to find something would be to press cntrl+F and type it in (its a huge PDF)

Go to the first post and download the catalog In it, each of the grains has a code for ordering. The first part is the maltster, the second part the type of grain.
BD-MOPA = Baird's Malt, Maris Otter
BZ-HDBR = Best Maltz, Heidelberg Malt
BZ-CRPL = Best Maltz, Caramel Malt Pils (Carapils)
BZ-LCRM = Best Maltz, Caramel Malt Light
GW-C40 = Great Western, Crystal 40
GW-C60 = Great Western, Crystal 60

Also note that while most of the sacks are 55#, some (like Great Western) do 50# sacks.

Also note that we cannot order Briess (not that it matters that much).
Hope this helps.

Since its no longer the bottom comment on Group Buy # 7 this might make it easier than tabbing back and forth and let everyone know!

STATUS OF SNY GRAIN BUY #6

FYI - looks like the grain was supposed to be delivered today (twogunz is out of the office on travel so he will report back to us later). It will not be possible to count or divide the splits completely for at least a couple days. However that means that the grain will be ready for SAT pickup.

Twogunz will be posting more information on that in the coming days.

See everyone Saturday!!!

 

[CidahMastah]

I will double post this on both threads

If your name is on this list you need to either:

1. Make Payment
2. Tell me how to handle your credit

If your price owed is in the read it means that you cannot pick up your grain yet. If you send me a personal check you cannot pick up grain until I see it clear in my bank account.

Let me know if you have any questions

Pickup Update:
We hope to have the final details ironed out tonight and will post an update later or in the morning. We're striving to have things worked out so that people can pickup their grain whenever the shop has business hours starting Friday or so (they have hours Mon-Sat). If those hours do not work out, we can try to accommodate something else on a case by case basis if necessary.

For those of you who are having somebody else pick up your grain, can you please post again to indicate that. I know of one situation already but would like an update so that we can presort everything appropriately.

Thanks, and stay tuned for final details.

[LupulinMax]

Please add me to the list of having someone else pickup their order. Thanks!

More likely than not, CBK will be picking up my order along with his.

Someone else wil be picking up my order.

5 hours and all bags are counted, split, and separated per person.

Bad news, they shorted us a bag of GP-FLBLY. We ordered 2 and only got 1. Both bags were for splits. So we divided it up the following way so everyone still got some flaked barley.

Original Splits:
0.5 - Cidahmasta
0.5 - JBSEngineer
0.333 - JeffB
0.333 - Drocu
0.333 - Rustbucket

New splits (since we only had one bag, we just multiplied everyone's split by 0.5):
0.25 (13.75 #) - Cidahmastah
0.25 (13.75 #) - JBSEngineer
0.1665 (9.1#) - JeffB
0.1665 (9.1#) - Drocu
0.1665 (9.1#) - Rustbucket

Cidah said that they wont replace any missing bags since the shipping would be really high for them. He will update everyone on the finical side of this mistake. Sorry everyone didnt get the whole split they wanted, but we figured this was the most fair way to proceed.

Thanks again guys for making this happen you guys are awesome!

I will be putting together order lists for each person and PMing them and placing a matching sheet on each organized bundle. Please bring the sheet with you (and anybody's you're picking up) when you pick up your grain. Im hoping to do the final labeling tonight and then you'll be able to pick up your orders.

 

[CidahMastah]

Just wanted to post that for saturday if you are picking up the hours are 10am-2pm I believe. So be sure you are aware that you have to pick up in that time frame.

twoguz can correct me if I am wrong.

Twogunz, the people with red pricing can't pick up their stuff yet.

To that affect I received some more payments:
mparsons - good for pick up
and of course I grabbed your check last night

 

[TwoGunz]

We can hopefully start pick ups Friday but once again I'll post a final word when I get the orders labeled.

Luckily we had two growlers and some chips to get us through the tail end. I was tired hauling all those sacks to my basement though...

 

[Smashing]

My kid may be picking up my grain. I'll have to touch base with him now that I know the pick up hours. I'll know this afternoon.

I was able to charm our rep into sending us the bag for free.

However since we already portioned it out as a half of people's split we will have to do that again when the other bags comes in (probably early next week).

Is everyone from syracuse? If you are we don't have any issues. However if you are not we will have to play some bag swapping games.


0.5 - Cidahmasta (Syracuse)
0.5 - JBSEngineer (Syracuse)
0.333 - JeffB (Syracuse)
0.333 - Drocu (Rochester?)
0.333 - Rustbucket (Syracuse)

If Drocu is from rochester maybe we could give him a full portion from one of the splits from a local guy. Problem is that all but Jbsenginner is the only split that is still at busch products.

JBSengineer, would you be ok with cutting taking from your current split to give drocu a full portion? When the bag comes in next week we can divide up to get you totally up to .5. So in other words, drocu gets a full split and the rest of us are made whole when the bag comes in next week.

This would mean twogunz would tap into your current bag and remove 9.1 lbs leaving us with:

0.25 (13.75 #) - Cidahmastah
0.085 (4.65 #) - JBSEngineer
0.1665 (9.1#) - JeffB
.33 (18.2#) - Drocu
0.1665 (9.1#) - Rustbucket

When the bag comes in we would then portion as follows:

0.25 (13.75 #) - Cidahmastah
.415 (22.85 #) - JBSEngineer
0.1665 (9.1#) - JeffB
0.1665 (9.1#) - Rustbucket

drocu is from Rochester. I am planning to pick up my order and his Saturday morning.

 

[TwoGunz]

Thanks. And to clarify, I don't really care who the person is who is picking up your order, I just need to know if a different HBT name is going to pick up more than 1 order so I can make the appropriate pick-up sheets. In the end, I'll probably send out individual ones anyways since that is the way we organized them and you can just bring multiple ones for all of the HBT names you're collecting for.

So I came to another conclusion... I need to brew!

After hauling all that grain down I realized I filled my big 55G overstock barrels and have three bags out in general population. Well some problems are good problems to have

the fact that you filled 55G barrels with over stock, is quite amazing... "i think you might have a problem as your wife would say..." thats a good problem to have if you have to brew so you dont have spoilage of grain!

 

[CidahMastah]

Any sage advice on roller mills? My buddy is interested in upgrading our mill (and Ia m not going to stand in his way).

At a glance:
1. Monster mills are $$ if you go stainless on the rollers ()
2. Barley crushers don't have stainless rollers and I have heard they will slip over time, not sure what the replacement cost would be. Otherwise seem reasonably priced
3. rebel brewer has a mill, but they don't list specs. It seems like a good in between, but not sure.

Well I didn't empty the bags into my "overstock", however I did throw 4 sealed sacks of grain them, so 8 bags of overstock ha!

 

[rustbucket]

i personally would go with one that SS, A. wont rust. B. much harder (so wont wear down over time), C. Can whip down with wet cloth and not have to worry.

I think rebel is best for what you get... looking at it.

that was my thought - stainless would be longer wearing (we tend to brew a lot so necessary). And my basement is moist, so better corrosion resistance.

 

[rustbucket]

in doing that, you have to pay more for the monster mill for essentially the same thing as the rebal (saying its 2" rollers). and you don't get a hopper or a mount.

the biggest problem i see with those, is the bushing wearing out. and needing to be replaced. i hope they are oil impregnated, i would call rebel up and ask them about that. becuase if they are not your going to have to lube the shaft somehow, to keep from wearing

 

[CBK]

I have the mm2 with ss rollers. Been using it for almost 2 years with no issues. Have to say though that the new rebel mill looks like a beast and comes standard with many of the extra options compared to the mm2. (SS rollers and a hopper.)

 

[nvr2low]

I will be looking for one too now that I have some grain stocked. I am thinking a little extra money spent up front will keep me from having to replace something down the road...
