In Wilbraham, MA here. If our shipment gets delayed (right now were looking at an aug 6th pickup) to aug 13, is there anyone near that can help out until aug 20th ( the day I get back into town). I hope we can still keep the aug 6th date.

I am in Palmer so I should be able to help.

Awesome a fellow brewer In my area, are you in any clubs? Sparge.us?
I am going to look into this in the AM. We might have the chance to get a pallet and a half and access the 3000 Lb pricing and then everyone benefits. If I can I will try and make this happen.
NOGO on adding a second pallet to this order. We would not get any extra price break at the 3000 lb level and we would have to pay shipping for each additional pallet (which is $80 + 20% fuel surcharge). So it just makes more sense to handle a second pallet as a completely separate order.
For those who missed out this time, keep in mind that the last order was only 2 months ago. So demand builds up pretty fast...you won't be waiting long.
1500 pounds? You guys do 30 bags at the time? Damn... my local homebrew club did 400 bags just during our spring buy, and that's only because the organizers cut it off at that point because it'd be too much to deal with
damnit! I can't guarantee I'll still be wanting to do this in 2 months b/c I want some grain SOON. but for future reference is it the same person organizing it every 2 months or does the duty get handed off?
I don't think it will be the same person...or at least *I* am not volunteering to organize this every 2 months. I might do it a few times a year but my guess is it will be a different person every time. You are more than welcome to take the torch - it's a good way to guarantee you get in on the buy - although the organizing part can be a bit time consuming.

Have you called them. This would answer your question. I do not believe that is accurate but CMG could confirm that quick.

A couple of beers last night and I wasn't trying to step on any toes, but apparently people are still super-duper upset.
I apologize for the most serious crime of (apparently) turning a grain buy into a genital-measuring contest. Never would have posted it had I remembered how insecure some guys get about that. I promise (honestly) to delete that post as soon as I get to my PC. It's the girth that really matters, anyway.
Yay porked again.
Did you get back the quote from NCM today?
