if your lucky, maybe the judge needs you to grab his sacks.

Just got out of work. No response yet from NCM so I'm going to call them first thing tomorrow morning to check the status.
We are grown ups and a good sack joke will never get old. LOL!!!:cross:
I will bring a damn circus tent and elephants to raise it if needed!
At this point, I will contribute anything needed to expedite the process.
As of Sunday, June 19th @ 3PM EDT, I am officially out of grain.
My only choices are to NOT brew this weekend or go to the LHBS and bend-over...

I got some info from them and it looks like we might have hope to miss the rain next weds/thursday. I have it set up for next thursday at the moment but its pending based on the rain. I have to give NCM the go ahead about delivery if it looks like it will work.
As of right now, it says we have a 40% chance of rain. I'll keep it as is and if it seems like the % is increasing by this thurs/fri, i'll reschedule.
I'll PM everyone with pickup details on Thusday so i can get a last min look at the weather.
On a side note, anyone with a pickup truck (able to handle a 2000LB load) able to help lug one of these pallets? I have access to a box truck but might not be able to get it next week. I can do both myself but it would be faster to have a second truck meet me there instead of making 2 trips.

I have a pickup with a cap. I could fit both pallets in my truck if there not stacked higher than the opening.

They are too high to fit your truck.
I don't think I can make it this time, my wife has her check-up Thursday night. If it is Wednesday, I might be able to help out.
Tell her she has to go alone because you need the truck.
If she locks the laser-beam eyes on you, deploy chaff...

I wish it were that simple. We are only about a month away from our second child so these check-ups are very important. I try to make it to every single one throughout the pregnancy, as I did with my first son.
Yeah I wouldn't miss that for anything. I made everyone of my wifes Dr visits while she was pregnant. It's quite amazing to see the change and know that a new human being is being created inside of her and to see all the changes that she is going through

Right on. I agree. My (almost) two-year old is already a pro at pouring a pint...It won't be long before I get him used to running my brewhaus.
Congrats !
Aha! I see that you, also, are assembling your future brewhouse staff
Next thing you know.. you'll be looking for locks and chains to keep your nectar from going awol. The neighborhood crew will all be hanging out after school trying to kick the keg before the adults get home, or growlers keep disappearing and the kegs keep getting lighter! Go to offer a buddy a beer and your trying to pour out of kicked kegs. They go from kids to adults sucking down all your brews! LOL
BTW the grain pallets are about 2350 lbs each

I have a long way to go for that...
LOL, and mine is locked up. Never mind the kids, it is my friends and neighbors that I am worried about

Anyone able to pick up for me on Thurs night? I work in Philly on Friday and can pick up in the early afternoon.
Yes, I made plans.
I plan on picking up ~ 1/4 ton of malted grains :rockin:

Can anyone pick up for me? I live in Ambler, PA (Montgomery County). Unfortunately, I have 5 bags.
I have softball at 6:30 and 9 on Thursday. I can pick it up at 11:00pm that night or the next day sometime.

Absolutely, I get out of work around lunch on Friday and can swing up if that works for you.
Are you making this a habit?
I'm seriously wondering if I have the room. I'll have to tie SWMBO to the roll bar...
Are you doing any splits?

No, definitely not a habit and no splits. This is my second grain group buy (attended the first and picked up for someone else as well). This grain should last me for a while.
My softball games are in Warrington, so I could probably get to Lansdale by 10:25pm or 10:30pm. That's if you can pick up for me...I know you are getting a ton of grain already.

Is anyone bringing a scale. I have two splits but dont have a scale that can handle a half sack.
Just kidding, didn't I pick up a bag and a qt. of candi syrup for you once? Could have been someone else from Ambler...
I'm only getting a quarter ton, perhaps I'll order a ton next time
I think I can squeeze it in. I wanna do my part in help making this quick and easy :rockin:
