Checks in the bank today. They should clear by Weds or Thursday to be good to place the order!!

 

[crazyirishman34]

I have some orchard breeze wine kits that I am looking to sell. I have a few different flavors kiwi Mellon, watermelon white Merlot, blackberry merlot, pineapple banana white. They run about $67 plus shipping from the various sites. I am looking to get $50 each they are all complete and in opened. The kits make 6 gallons of wine that ends up being 2.5 cases.

 

[crazyirishman34]

OK folks current status of the ORDER is I just sent the request to NCM and if all the checks are cleared into my account tomorrow for me to pay for the order. We will be good to go for Friday delivery and Sunday sorting. Once the order is paid for I will post in the thread.

 

[crazyirishman34]

Alright the order is in and paid for. So once Redman confirms that we have delivery tomorrow we are a go. The folks that are listed as sorters should show up at 8am and the rest at 9:30am. Again Redman needs us to be done and cleaned up by noon so please try to be on time. Also if you aren't sorting it would be great if you could help doing a little bit of clean up. The clean up should not be to bad.

I'll bring a Box of Joe from DD if a few of you tell me you like coffee. If not, I'm still getting it, just drinking it on the way.

 

[EatBeerSleep]

do we need to bring anything with us? scale? containers? homebrew?

I've got a scale that can handle up to 110 lbs that I'm bringing along to measure out splits. I think half a sack will fit into a 5-gallon Home Depot bucket but never hurts to be sure. They also sell those gamma lids at HD to seal the buckets up.

Thanks DNuggs

 

[sfrisby]

You order through NCM? You haven't been shut out with their new policies? Any insight on how your group buy stayed alive? Thanks.

 

[user 51917]

If you are in for some splits you need to bring something to put your grain in

 

[dan6310]

I'm also bringing a scale for the splits. 150lb capacity.

I'll have a cup, I got an agreement with SWMBO that the first thing I drink each day wont be a beer

 

[crazyirishman34]

If you are coming early scales would be helpful if you have splits bring a container.

 

[crazyirishman34]

Alright so we are still waiting on the truck to deliver the grain. From what I understand there was a major traffic issue on 128. So hopefully either we will get delivery late tonight or tomorrow. If it doesn't come in it will be there Monday. So we all need to make some contingencies for the worst case. One good thing is that Shawn home on Monday to receive the order. The bad thing is that the next weekend is Memeorial Day weekend and I am sure no one wants to divide the grain then. So we need to figure out a different day for pick up or wait. I understand this is a major SNAFU but we can over come it.

 

[Brizzo]

Any update?

 

[crazyirishman34]

It hasn't come in at this point I figure we wait till 5pm today and see what happens. If it doesn't come in today I would assume Monday it will be delivered.

 

[crazyirishman34]

The grain isn't going to be coming today. So we need to come up with a different plan to divide it up. If you have a suggestion please let me know

 

[Calico Jack]

I am available for the majority of Monday to sort grain. I'd need a ballpark delivery time though.

 

[DNuggs]

I know it's not ideal but I'm actually around all next weekend despite the fact that its a holiday weekend if we wanted to put together something for then

 

[Brizzo]

I am no good Monday-Thursday unless it is 5pm or later, thurs I am no good at all. Next weekend is all open for me.

 

[dan6310]

I'm available Mon-Wed after 4 pm, Thur & Fri after 5 pm. Available next weekend.

 

[ACC84]

I am available either early AM any day this week (before 630) or after 7 PM. I will be around this coming weekend.

 

[tellyho]

I am around many days during the day, few evenings. I have many mornings free, and can bring my 5 year old to help sort some day if we decide on that. I'd love not to make a lot of work for Redman. I am also around next weekend and can make something happen.

 

[Satisfaction]

No good deed goes unpunished

I am available next weekend for sorting, this week my job has me trekking up to the great state of Maine.

 

[Skipper74]

I am around next weekend. I am not available during the week until after 7:00 p.m.

 

[crazyirishman34]

That's the hard part the send the grain in a semi truck. The 2 other times I ran the buy they showed up around 3pm.

I probably have the worst schedule here. Work M-F noon to 8:30 in Norwood. Mr. Mom from 7-11 daily in Providence. Guess all this is going to depends on Shawn's schedule and when the truck actually shows up. I'll stand back, see what you guys decide, and try to accommodate your schedule. Little worried about weather for Monday

 

[crazyirishman34]

They shrink-wrap it and it is going into Shawn's garage so the grain shouldn't get wet. They sent a short truck so the driver should be able to get right up to the garage.
