Syracuse, ny - round 7 group grain buy

[jeffb418]

I've heard that you could break the flask if its directly on the electric element (since they heat up so quickly). My buddy sits his flask ontop of a piece of metal to act as a conductor on his stovetop, so it more evenly heats up and prevents breaking. A thick bottomed pan would work too.

Good tip, thanks.

Cidah, can you remove the link to the order sheet from the first page? I keep getting requests for access from random people (who don't need to see that information). If anyone needs information from it, the link will still be active just not on this forum.

Thanks!

Hey all been awhile for me. Racing is keeping me busy and getting married in 25 days. Any new orders getting ready in the next few months.

 

[jeffb418]

Think the plan is to target the fall for the next order. Most likely something like Octoberish.

This is what I use for my starters since I have a flat glass stove-top.

I found two for @ 30$ brand new.

And yes, I have broken 2 flasks on an electric stove-top.

[baflint]

looking for a group buy in upstate ny? anybody know of one?

 

[samandbekah]

Or shall we say, when are we scheduling the next group buy?

Hopefully round 8 will be starting soon. I believe the coordinators for this group buy are planning on a fall buy. Can't blame Cidah for wanting to take a break after 7 back to back buys.

 

[baflint]

7 back to backs is a lot hopefully I will be able to get in on #8... anything going on like this up in Rochester cbk?

 

[Smashing]

Nothing this good in Rochester that's why we jump on the Syr on. Glad to have you aboard!

 

[CidahMastah]

Yeah info on round 8 to come. Lots of people are super busy over the summer so it makes it very tough to coordinate. There are several key players in making the buy work, so thanks for understanding.

Right now the best estimate for the opening of the buy would be late August through September. Goal being to close the buy before the holidays start.

Will keep everyone posted.

Hey Sam!

 

[Smashing]

I'm actually hoping for Sept/late Nov, I have some grain to work through.

 

[bierhaus15]

It will be interesting to see how much NCM raises the price of grain this fall/winter, with all the issues going on with the corn/grain harvest in the US and Europe. Prob only be 2-3 cents, but still.

yeah I am wondering that as well.

lol Hey Greg

That's a good point and from what I've been reading, prices are only going to continue to go up and up as the year goes on... so maybe we should get this one rolling sooner rather than later??

Looks like some folks are already discussing this further here:

Personally for me I am hoping for sooner rather than later. Since making the switch to electric brewing I have found the whole process to be:

1: faster
2: easier
3: much more enjoyable

The only issue with the new setup is I find myself brewing more often and using more grain. The minute round 8 opens I will immediately add 3 bags of 2 row. The way my brewing is going now will probably have to buy a sack before the next buy gets started. (Oh well should have bought more last round my bad.)

If anyone is interested I have a Blichmann burner with the leg extensions for sale. Asking $100.00 firm. ($190.00 to buy new) The top of the legs have some stains (boilovers). Would prefer local pickup but would also be willing to meet half way with anyone that participates in this group buy. Anyone interested please shoot me a pm. Also included are the original short legs which have never been used.

I am glad it is working out for you! Man you just have to love the electric brewing. Now you see why I am chewing up so much grain

Yeah when we get round 8 open, one requirement we are adding is that one entire pallet of 42 bags must be CM-2ROW. Makes it easier to sort and do pickups if we have one pallet we don't have to touch... just point and you grab your x number of bags from the pile.

That's a great idea. Saving my pennies.....

 

[BryanJ]

I cant believe round 8 is starting soon. I have only made it through maybe one bag so far. Are there going to be hops in this buy again?

 

[akirch12]

I went in on an order with a friend on the last buy, please give me details for round 8 so I can put in my own order. Thanks.

 

[CidahMastah]

There will be limited on hops (I think). The splitting takes up a ton of time so we have not yet decided if we will offer hop splitting every other buy, or not. We are still sorting some of the details. Of course hops by the box (11lbs) are still an option for each buy.
