I had to throw one more bag of Canadian 2 row on my order because I was thinking, "What if I run out of base grain before the next group buy"? Oh no, what would I do?

Please do throw on some bucks for food and libations for everyone helping with splits.

absolutely !!!!
I am definitely willing to go in on this barrel. I am a newbie on this HBT buy, but a member of CHAOS and can get a couple of peeps to vouch for me if needed.
Thanks!
Come on! Somebody needs 18 lbs of cara munich, right?

I'm your split-angel. I picked up the Cara Munich 60 and Crystal 60 splits that had only one left. Unfortunately I was unable to complete the hop splits given the need for 6-10lbs to complete. Seeing as I was laid off today, I picked up what my business could afford.

Thanks! I'm slacking over here!
Great job on this Bill, Ghoti and all.
I skipped the last buy which was the first with the web site, the last one I was in on was all manual.
That time I had one grain split and a split on starsan. This time because of how simple things are now, I was able to get in on 7 splits and had to hold myself back from doing more.
Awesome job.

I am concerned about the sheer number of splits on this one. I assume it will take an entire weekend to make it all work. I hope the guys who are helping don't go crazy trying to keep track of everything. I just wish I could offer some assistance but with 4 kids and a wife who works on weekends, my time is limited.
Cheers to Bill, ghoti, and all of the people who work hard behind the scene to make this easy for those of us who buy in bulk!

Question
We can get 500 paper grocery bags for $40. These bags would be good for packaging grain splits. Should we add it to our additional group buy costs to be reimbursed by everyone? There are about 73 participants so about $0.52 a person average. Yay or nay?

It's amazing how well they do it. To the tee. I picked up Ghoti and Bill a six'er for their hard work, but it's the only beer in the house; like a mouse in a room full of cats.

ok. we topped out at 333 sacks of grain. Each pallet holds a maximum of 42 sacks so we are at essentially 8 pallets (8*42=336). A 9th pallet will be required for all of the other stuff such as hops, fruit purees, wood products, chemicals, etc.
Pallet charges are $78/pallet so at 9 pallets we are looking at $702. There is also a hazmat charge of $15.
I have deiced that we will get the paper bags for the splits and their cost is $40. So below is a breakdown of the shipping & 'handling' costs:
$702.00 Pallet Delivery
$15.00 Hazmat Charges
$40.00 Paper bags for splits
$25.00 Website template
$75.00 Lunch for 6 guys doing splits
$857.00 Total add-on charges
The total pounds of everything ordered is 17,951. So the additional costs are about $0.048 per pound (less than a nickel).

Sweet....
Don't forget the 2.9%+.30 paypal fee and a tip. When can we start sending payment?

don't send payment just yet. on the paypal, i ask everyone to do two things:
1) Do not gift me the money because they will freeze my account.
2) Pay the transaction fee yourself or include it in the total amount you are sending. i prefer that you pay it yourself.

So do we get an invoice for our total amount or do we just figure it out with our poundage x $0.048 per lb and send it to Bill? Plus I need bills email/PayPal account
