Looking for any advice on buying bulk in New England or if anyone knows of anyone doing a group buy now/soon. Thanks !
Will do, cheers!Ok, I’m about an hour from you and could meet up your way...no problem. Depending on timing, I’d be interested in a sack of 2 Row Pale and possibly a few 10lb varieties of crystal and roasted.
Keep me posted if you are able to get something going.
thanks!
If anyone is interested, I'm looking to put together a bulk order to buy from Valley Malt in Hadley, MA (http://valleymalt.com/malts) to support local small craft businesses and help out any local home brewers who need grains during this time. I plan on going to pick up the order myself (granted it's not catastrophically large!), and can even work with anyone who needs help with delivery to your door (within reason). I'm attaching their pricing sheet here. If anyone is interested, please direct message me, and we can figure something out! Cheers!
Have you put in the order yet ? Just seeing this now. I'm interested !
As far as I know, they only do the Big Buy once a year in September. But, you can get pretty much anything. Last year I bought 4 sacks, including 3 of Weyermann Barke grains and they ended up being less than $70 each for a sack. Its how I buy all of my base grains now: once a year in bulk via the Emporium's Big Buy.Homebrew Emporium does a discount bulk grain buy a couple times a year. Price is comparable to what I was paying through a group buy before that. Should be happening soon.

The order will be placed on Wednesday April 8th at noon, so if you, or anyone you know is interested, please direct message me your order, and we can work out drop off and payment. Cheers!
thanks again for putting together the group buy - stay warm for the rest of the winter!Just a reminder that there's just about a week till I place the order with BSG if anyone else is wanting to get in on it. Cheers!
FYI the 3 Homebrew Emporiums in Mass (Weymouth, Cambridge and West Boylston) plus the upstate NY location just announced a Fall grain buy. Here's a link to the list. Grain Buy – Fall 2020 Annoucement Good time for clubs to jump on it and maybe split purchases.
Brew Free or Die does a bulk buy twice a year for their members. You just missed the fall buy but the spring buy will come around in march I think.Any clubs in Southern NH (eastern) doing group buys??
A few have reached out to me, so the order is a go! I'll be placing the order on Wednesday October 27th, 2021 and be picking it up on Friday October 29th, 2021. In case anyone is reading this for the first time and doesn't want to scroll through the comments here's a recap.
If anyone anywhere reasonably drivable from central MA is looking to save some money buying some grains, DME, dry yeast packets, or hops I'm putting together an order through BSG in the next couple weeks. They offer most of their grains in 1, 10, and 50/55 lb sacks, DME in 1, 3, and 50/55 lb bags, and hops in 1 oz, 8 oz, or full lb increments. They offer dry yeast from most of the major manufacturers (Fermentis, Lallemand, Mangrove Jack, etc).
You won't see prices since one can only do that with an account with them, but here are links to their webpages for grains, DME, hops, and dry yeast to check out what they have:

If you're interested, please PM me and we can work together to figure out what's best for you. I don't mind working out driving and meeting somewhere and will take necessary COVID precautions. Cheers!
