They will most probably send it to the brewery with the next delivery i can grab it for you no matter what happens if you can grab your stuff from the warehouse so it can be out of the way that would be nice

Got it. I'm going to try to come tommorow late morning
Hi. I successfully picked up all my grains plus johnnyhitch01, jonTWR, and Kroach. Completely filled the car then drove slowly back to my house with out busting my shocks! My address is 366A Monroe Street, Brooklyn NY 11221. I should be home both Saturday and Sunday. I am about to move all the sacks to my hallway it basement. Someone mentioned some tasty home brew for the help. That would be delicious! My number is 9175727805. Feel free to text me with questions

The place is called Paradise Plastics. A red building on your left hand side just past Costco on 39th Street. I parked in the gravel parking lot where the trucks are. The loading dock is small and on the right towards the back. When you get there go in thru the front door and up the stairs. On the left is the office. Ask for Zolton? Is that how you spell his name KeepitCold? They will page him and he will take you to the grains and help you bring it down to your car. You load and that that. I gave him a small tip.. I tip everyone. ha Good luck.
cool i should home today around 5pm. shoot me a text if you are coming by today.

Just pretend you're in Grand Theft Auto and it'll all make sense
Seriously though, park in the gravel lot towards the end of 39th st. It's on the left. Go into the building, 2nd floor office. Find/ask for/ talk to Zolton. He's cool. He'll get you where you need to go.
Good luck!

Nobody's here, just drive an hour and a half in the snow. What do I do?

I'm here and nobody else is... Just drove over an hour in the snow. What's the deal?
You could try wandering around back to the loading dock. That's where Zolton (sp?) asked us to meet him once we met him inside. His colleague brought out the malt on a fork lift.
Just got home from picking up my grains from Norie_'s place. Thanks again keepitcold for organizing this, and thanks Norie_ for splitting the bags and storing them at your place!
I'll probably get my brew on tomorrow!

Be aware NCM has changed the rules/pricing for home brewing buyers

This is a joke...
I wont even try to post in that thread...
Pushing business away for doing whats best for them to make money? Do you know how many breweries need malt these days and to complain you dont get the same service/price of someone ordering 200,000 pounds of a single malt per year?
Try again...

I love it when people get tough on the interwebs.
Please don't post in that thread, I sure don't care what you do. You have every right to pay the highest price on grain available. I'm done here, and moving on.

Tough...Like creating threads trashing one of the biggest maltsters in the northeast for practicing fair buisness ethics??
This buy was done thru a brewery, thus getting the brewerys rate....
We dont apply to your mumbo jumbo...Get your facts straight!
Hey i rhymed!
Enjoy your day fine sir!
keepitcold - When do you expect to have the updated price of our order?

Good to have you!
Unfortunately the group buy is closed now. But, what usually happens is when the next one comes along, someone chimes into this thread to let us all know a new one is starting. Then he/she will start a new thread to get the order process rolling. We get a catalog PDF, pick out what we want, the facilitator makes a google spreadsheet, and we pay via PayPal. Pretty smooth actually.
User keepitcold does a great job.
Keep your eyes open for other group buys that may open up in the meantime though.

That is all true and the last group buy went smoothly but North Country Malt has changed their policy in regards to how they handle pallet buys from groups. All these group buys will now have to be done through either a retailer or a brewery which will obviously be more difficult. The LHBS may not want to bother with organizing it for no money and a small brewery may not want to deal with the hassle of handling 1-2 tons of malt that is not theirs..... we'll see how it all shakes out..

Just an update here...if keepitcold is interested in running another group buy anytime soon, a friend of mine has just started brewing AG, and he and I would both be in for at least a few sacks each (and could probably be convinced to increase the number to fill pallets VERY easily...I don't doubt we'd each be willing to do 5-10 sacks), for sure.

I'd be in to split some sacks if its not too much trouble.
