Greetings brewers! Jeremy B is putting together a group order for the club for bulk malt, hops, yeast and equipment via Jerald’s schweet hook-up / wholesale connections.
This is your chance to get brew stuff cheap before he heads out to fine hills of North Cackalaka. The whole point of this is to see what everyone needs and consolidate that list to get the best deal / save on shipping.
Bear with me, this is a long post. TJ will also send out via email. Questions about the ordering process – email or call me. Questions about costs / etc. – call or email Jerald.
Important notes upfront:
** Deadline is Aug. 29 ** for orders.
I will consolidate everything and publish a final list. Once you approve your portion of the final order, you’re on the hook. (That’s 2 weeks away – get your order in!)
**Everyone will pay upfront.** You should be able estimate the costs here so you’ll be in the ballpark. Questions? Contact Jerald.
Spreadsheet: contact us at [email protected] for more details
The spreadsheet above lists common base & specialty malts. If you don’t see one you want listed, feel free to add it. Add your name to the columns across the top if it’s not already there and place the appropriate amount in pounds you’d like. Same with hops, yeast, equipment.
Malts: Come in 55 lb sacks, 30 lb, 10 lb and 1 lb.
Example: Chris wants 1 lb of Victory malt, Noah needs 8 lbs and I need another 5 lb. We put our amounts on the sheet. Once all the orders are in, the 3 of us hash it out, and either settle for the 10 lb amount (Noah or I accept less than we originally wanted), or we bump up to the next level (30 lbs) and distribute accordingly.
Hops: 1 lb is the minimum order. (If you want to trade after the fact, go for it.)
Yeast: (See pricing notes at the bottom of this post.)
Equipment: Be specific when necessary (Perlick 650SS vs. 630SS) and give the number of items, too.
(See range of prices at the bottom of this post to get a ballpark estimate for your order. For best results, bounce numbers off Jerald.)
