Brain Fart. Thanks
Don't worry, it happens to Walker all the time. You should see him brew for God's sake. Half down the driveway, pump going backwards, it's just a mess.

FYI, I'd like to go in on a sack of munich with one or two people, too.
coastwx and basisforaday.... you guys wanna split that Munich 3 ways, or are you guys all set with just a 2-way split?
I'm already getting a sack of MO for myself (and I want it all), and I rarely ever use wheat.
Anyway you guys would want to split another sack 2 or 3 ways with me? Anyone want Wheat or MO?

I'll split a bag of wheat with you.
If this goes well and we end up with more than 42 bags and can push 84 I'll split a bag of MO with someone. Also as for random stuff, I'll take a bag of rice hulls *only* if it doesn't cause a problem. Its a stupid thing to buy in the first place and if its a hassle I don't want it. Hell I don't even want to go to Durham for it so I'm actually counting on one of you dorks to pick it up for me. No such thing as a nook or cranny for a 50 pound bag of rice hulls... how big would that bag be anyway?
Too bad I don't have a loading dock, or we could just unload at my place on the 22nd.
Keep that in mind though for those south or east of the RDU area proper. I live near Clayton and only 30 minutes from Benson/Dunn so folks could arrange a pickup/drop off for that day if need be.
Reel, I was thinking Best Malt dark wheat, that good with you? BZ-DWHT
I guess. Is that good for american wheat beers? Or is the color too dark? Pale wheat is about 1/4 of the lovibond of the dark.
I was looking at it and compared it to the 2 options at American Brewmaster, and I think the Dark Wheat is their normal malted wheat, and white wheat is what it is.
I tend to use more malted wheat than white wheat, the flavor is more apparent. but white is fine too, i just don't like $5+ for 3# of it at AB.
I can't see the spreadsheet or catalog here at work so i can't confirm until i get home tonight.
We are 7 bags shy of filling one pallet (had one cancellation). Currently, I have requests for 9 more bags of grain, I think, (Coastwx, can you please pm me with your TOTAL order? Thanks).
Sooooo, decision time. If we order over 42 bags of grain, we will need an additional pallet. I was quoted $65.00 freight/pallet. We've saved this amount on the lift-gate charge. Of course, the more bags on a pallet, the less the per bag freight charge is.
IMO, we can:
let this go awhile longer and see if we can fill another pallet.
order what we have now.
set a cut-off date and order what we have at that point, and suck-up the additional freight charge. If we do this, people can order other items if they desire.
I personally like the last option.
so... 7 bags short of one pallet, but 9 more bags requested, meaning we are 2 bags over one pallet?
Yes, at last count.
do these numbers include the bag of Munich that basisforaday and I were talking about splitting? I'm still waiting to hear if he had a preference for the light/dark and brand, so I never sent a PM to you yet.
I don't know. I wasn't in the conversation.
Also, do these numbers include Dallas' sack of hulls?
Yes
See below for the reason why I am asking....
If we have 44 bags now (7 shy of pallet + 9 more) and if that 44 total count includes the split bag of munich for me and basisforaday and Dallas' rice hulls....
I would be fine with dropping the munich if basisforaday is OK with it. I do use Munich, but 27# of it is going to last me a looooong time and I wouldn't be heartbroken if I didn't get the half sack.
And, since Dallas already called his 50# sack of hulls "stupid", maybe we can drop that one, too and get us back to 42 and pull the trigger now?
I'm quietly watching. If you are going to try to fill 2 pallets I will go for 3 bags.
Anybody have any ideas on an equitable arrangement for the additional freight charge? As it stands, it's based solely on number of bags/order.
Can't you just have everybody pay for what they order? Do they give you a breakdown when you order so you could just apply the total cost divided by the # of bags ordered by each person?
I think breaking the total tax+shipping+whatever fees down on a per-bag basis is the right way to do it without creating a massive headache for yourself.
Aside from the tub of PBW I am tacking on, did anyone else request non-grain items like hops or other stuff?
I'd be happy to throw in some extra $ for the PBW since a "per bag" breakdown would miss that item.
No breakdown. Just the quantity of each product and the pallet rate.
So you are just talking about the $65/pallet and then probably the 15% fuel surcharge. I would say just split it up either per person or per bag. I believe that's what you're saying. Whatever makes it easiest for you Reel I'm sure we'll all agree with. You have the toughest job in this, so whatever is easiest works for me.
So I just took a look at the sheet, and it looks like you're just charging everyone for one bag of shipping. Shouldn't it be the per bag amount * number of bags?
I'd still like to split a sack of Munich with someone. Basisforaday said he was interested, but hasn't responded to any messages from me about it.
Anyone interested?
He sure is. I told him that last night. He said he was gonna fix it tonight. I'm assuming he'll post somewhere once he makes the changes.
PM sent for updates on bag splitting. Thanks!
