BFD Bulk Orders

Brew Free or Die conducts bulk orders of grain, hops and chemicals twice each year, in January and in September. Bulk buys can result in substantial savings, and are open ONLY to BFD members .

Please use this catalog. (updated 18 Jan 2011)

As of 18 Jan 2011, please note that, currently the following hops are not available:

• Simcoe
• Amarillo
• Chinook
• US Hallertau
• Horizon
• Citra

Please use this spreadsheet for compiling your order. Be sure to send your name, phone and email to David Rosenbaum with the spreadsheet.

Note that, as of August 2010, you can only order in whole bags. (see FAQ below for more on this)

You will need to send a check for your full amount, but David will get back to you once the order has been placed with the full amount including shipping and any discounts that have been applied.

Send any questions to David Rosenbaum.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What if I want to order less than a full bag?

A: Rob North has volunteered to manage split bags for the club. So that club members can see what others are interested in splitting and potentially get on board with a share of something being ordered, Rob created a shared Google docs spreadsheet that you can access with the link below:

Please fill in what you want, your name, quantity, and any comments (such as "I'll take anywhere from 10 to 20 pounds of xxx"). Once we get to within a few days of the bulk order deadline Rob will confirm what we have a enough interest in splitting with all who expressed interest. Pretty much any item from the North Country Malt catalog can be included. Some notes:

• Rob will collect cash AFTER the order has arrived
• Do not repeat any split items on your personal bulk order
• Please keep quantities reasonable (e.g. grain min 5#, hops min 1/4#)
• Indicate your brand preference but for any given sack of grain to be split, we may need to arrive at a consensus
• Assume all malt ordered here will be uncrushed

Q: What if I want my malt crushed?

A: North Country will still crush your malt, but they will crush whole bags only. Best suggestion, unless you want 55lbs of crushed malt, connect with a fellow member who has a crusher and do it after you get your malt.

Q: Which pricing should I use?

A: For estimation purposes, use the <1,000# pricing. Normally we order much more than that, so the price per pound will drop. Once the order is finalized, you will get the total price. Until the order is finalized, the pricing is really just for estimation purposes.

Q: Can I order chemicals or hops or DME?

A: Yes.
