Syracuse, ny - round 8 group grain buy

[gcdowd]

A little off topic but I'd like an opinion on which yeast to use for a pumpkin ale. S04 or Notty?

 

[t-booneyay]

I just added another split of roasted barley. If no one is interested I will just remove it and add a bag of 2 row or something.

 

[jeffb418]

Added a split of Golden Promise if anyone wants half a bag. Good for Scottish ales!

I'd go with S04. It has lower attenuation than Nottingham, unless you want a drier pumpkin ale.

 

[gcdowd]

Yeah I want to keep it sweeter so I'm thinking the S04.

can i just add another split for cm-munh myself, or do i need to have it added by jeff?

 

[gcdowd]

Come on guys, feel free to order some star san!!

I've got to add it. This is the last split we are adding for now. I'll do that now. We are just trying to limit the number of splits since they take time for us to do when we sort the grain.

 

[lewdog50]

Sweet, lucky number 13! Thanks

 

[jeffb418]

Added the last split - CM-MUNH and another cascade split (since a few people asked for it cuz the other closed so quickly).

Try to fill all open splits.

I might be interested in a roasted barley split or some other type of dark specialty grain. Let me know what you want to do.

I just took the other half.

Keith - do you know if we are able to purchase the bottle caps through them? 10k would certainly last me for quite some time.....

I tried to get bottle caps through the Pittsburgh group buy (since I knew I would be traveling there this past summer). Country Malt wouldn't allow those as part of the order.

There might be a small opportunity to actually push the order through this month. We are working with TwoGunz on maybe pushing this up but nothing official yet. And at the current rate of the order, I could actually see this closing out next week. Just giving the heads up.

This is actually bad news. I have bunches and bunches of grain, but put some placeholders in (which I would commit to) given a November delivery. If it is a lot earlier, I might have to reassess what I would get. Not saying I would withdraw from the buy, but would have to scramble to see what specific grains I want and how many...

1/2 a bag isn't enough....go for the entire sack! It's a base malt, good for a bunch of stuff, like MO but a bit sweeter.

 

[gcdowd]

Oh jeez, I may pick up that other half of the golden promise

Fair enough, nothing is set yet. We are just looking into it.

 

[jeffb418]

Just a reminder guys, post in this forum when ever you add anything to the sheet so people can see when new things are added.

Thanks!

 

[lewdog50]

I still have a split for Canadian malt Munich open. Just need one more person to fill it up.

[t-booneyay]

I'd throw down for a keggle if someone plans on driving out there! I need a larger kettle anyway.

 

[jeffb418]

92 bags!

Fill it up! Lets see if we can get to 124 by Monday!

 

[BryanJ]

****, i can buy kegs for 30$ from my bottle shop and could deliver them up to the grain buy pick up. Don't waste 70 on that ****.

 

[DBush20]

..nobody feeling the rye split!

 

[gcdowd]

Crushing my grain tonight for the pumpkin ale I'm going to brew this weekend and I killed both of my drill batteries. Now I gotta wait until they charge again. Haha oh well

 

[DBush20]

just brewed 2 pumpkin ales 1 extract with S04 brown sugar and spices, and 1 all grain with pumpkin, molasses and spices with denny's favorite 50.

 

[lawle102]

2 Sacks of 2-row

1LB-Williamette
1LB-Aramis

EDIT: To post my order

 

[t-booneyay]

21 bags left!

 

[jeffb418]

Added 2 open half bag splits (splits 14-15) and also added 5 third bag splits to the sheet (also open).

 

[chrisp522]

I put in for 2 sacks of cm2row and 1 mopa

 

[jeffb418]

Added another sack of 2ROW. Figure better to stock up now since the next order wont be until April (when the snow goes away).

 

[CBK]

109 bags in 8 days!

Looks like this may close sooner rather than later? However this goes I'm ready.

 

[brehuh]

Hey copy, are you making the Albany drive? If so ill help with gas money!

 

[jeffb418]

13 bags to go!

Lets get this closed up in the next few days! We will not be going to a 4th pallet, so 124 is our limit for this order. Been talking to Cidah and TwoGunz and I think we are leaning to closing the order up asap and having pickup near the end of this month/start of Oct.
