Living out in the Seattle area homebrewing is everywhere right now. So why aren't there a bunch of group buys on here?
Jim is good people. I got all my beginning equipment from him. He buys from Larry's and then supplies everyone up North.There are tons of clubs. There are 3 public clubs in Everett alone and I know of a few more, less formal ones, as well, so it would seem that the need is there. The only thing I see resembling a group but north of Seattle is a guy that buys bulk and resells at a low cost out of his Lake Stevens home.
What club do you speak of? I'd be interested in getting connected to some more seasoned homebrewers. I'm up in Bellevue.Honestly?
Because most of the time with the club discount at Larry's, we don't need to do group buys. That and with so many Boeing employees in the area it's pretty easy to find someone to weld or Fab you something.
Thanks :rockin:Here ya go. There are tons in our area so if I were you I'd go to each clubs' meeting before committing to being a member of one. Each has it's own offerings.

I'm planning on checking out the next meeting - sounds like a good group!The Impaling Alers are based out of Larry's. I think we get 5% off anything in the store. It might not seem like much, but every penny helps.
I believe the meetings are at 7pm?Awesome! I want to get more involved locally!
What time at Larrys?
I'd sure like some welding done in the future and I'd much rather have the money go to a local brewer.
I'm about to snag a full bag of MO, and have been planning a trip up to Skagit Malting to grab a bag each of their NZ-151, Talisman Pale, and Copeland Pale
rumor is that it's possible to make arrangements to purchase full bags. I hope to know for sure in the next week or two, and if so make the trip up.
I went up to Skagit Valley Malting a month or so ago and asked them if they sell to homebrewers. Unfortunately, they were getting backlash from the shops who caught wind of it. Now they won't even sell partial bags that they can't sell to the shops.
On a similar note, I've found that FH Steinbart down in Portland has some pretty darn good deals on sacks of grain. I have family down there, so I pick up a sack or two every time I go to visit.
