Anyone in the Philadelphia area know of an active group buy for grain or have any interest in creating one? Never done this before, so I would love it if an interested party could help me!
Do you remember what Weak Knees was asking for a sack of 2-row?Has not been one in 4-5 years. The south Jersey group was active till about a year ago. I have found the prices at my lhbs are decent enough that the hassle of a group by is not as attractive as it used to be. I used weak knee in Pottstown, very good sack prices
Used to be around 40, i typically buy GP and MO these days, which is 60ish? I need to restock in a few weeks, can post the price, or call they are super nice. If you are going to get a lot, they ask you let them know so they can order extra. They can get anything from northern county malts? I typically get Thomas faucett, bestz and great Western. Occasionally briess.Do you remember what Weak Knees was asking for a sack of 2-row?
I would be in for 5-8 sacksThe prices on that group buy are decent, but still pretty high (about 80% more than buying direct).
Also, I haven't used Double Eagle in a while but I wasn't too thrilled with the very early stuff in terms of being super clean (I tend to just buy a lot of Pilsner and malted oats). I'd rather spend the money on Avanguard or Weyermann.
I'd be in for another sack or maybe 2 depending on when this happens. How should we handle logistics and what is time frame? Should we make some sort of spreadsheet to track interest until we hit enough to get a full order? How much do we need to get to make it worth it? I have never done one of these independently of a club or shop.
