So I know we have been pretty much shut out of the normal group buys we did a few times in the past. I am thinking of trying to organize a small group buy for Blackland Malts, out of Leander, TX. This is the only place in the state to buy TX grown, TX malted grain. I know that doesn't matter to some people, but I sure think it would be cool to use malt grown and malted here in state. He doesn't deliver but he will sell to homebrewers and we would just need to pick it up. I go to Austin about once a month and could pick this up on my way back up. Bulk pricing kicks in at 500 pounds, and he only sells in 50# sacks. He currently has 2-row, red winter wheat, and smoked malt available. Pricing is not super cheap compared to our old group buys, before 500# it is $1.25 per # for the 2-row and wheat, and $2 for the smoked malt. Above 500# the pricing is $1 per lb for the 2-row and wheat. The good news is there is no shipping but I'll probably ask for a buck or 2 per bag for the gas. Post in here or PM me if you are interested in picking up a bag or 2. I'm going to be picking up 2 bags whether or not we get to the 500# level, so if you are willing to pay a little more we can make this happen regardless of how much we buy.
