Greetings brewers and mead makers. We have an opportunity to acquire a decent quantity of honey at a reasonable price and thought it might help some of you make a batch or two (or three) of mead. Dave Schroeder is former president of the MHBA (Minnesota Hobby Beekeepers Association) and has honey available in 5 gallon buckets (60 pounds). He will sell honey to us for $120 per five gallons or approximately $24 per gallon. I've used his honey before and know it is high quality. Dave is selling his honey rapidly and will likely be out of stock by early February. I'm not trying to rush or use force but I really enjoy making mead. You should too.
To keep this a "low effort project" here is how to proceed.
1. Decide you want a bucket or two
2. Send me a check by January 15 to the address below.
3. Make the check for $120 out to Dave Schroeder.
4. Include phone or e-mail address for pickup confirmation.
5. If you want 1/3 bucket or ½ bucket, buy a bucket and find someone willing to share.
Any other questions, call or e-mail
The Fine print: I will exchange your check for the honey and will keep it inside until you arrange for pick up. I am not able to front you for your bucket-o-honey. I'm terribly sorry but I don't tweet, twit, text, or accept pay-pal. I do not have the ability to split buckets. I cannot read your mind. If you want a bucket, send me a check.
Sincerely,
Rick Oftel
MHBA Previous officer and general nice guy.
