Atlanta Area Group Buy

Looks like my wheat bag to share was deleted. I fixed it and added you, testingapril. Feel free to edit as needed.

 

[byounger]

Scott I had put myself down for the other 35# yesterday. Did someone delete it?

 

[sfrisby]

I think so. I'm happy to split 3 ways if you're ok with that, testingapril.

 

[byounger]

That sounds good to me.

 

[testingapril]

I'm good with that.

 

[govya]

I am going to add mine when I get home, I can't get to google docs from work

Looks like the pallet is full. Awaiting confirmation from the lhbs and max count of bags that can ship on a pallet from country malt and we should be set to go.

 

[sfrisby]

Got confirmation from Country malt that the max pallet order is 40 bags. I though it was 42. Anyways, I created a waiting list section on the website at the bottom for more people to sign up if others fail to follow through. Be sure to sign up if you want something. If the waiting list magically explodes in the near term, we can always add another pallet.

 

[MotorcycleMike]

I sure wish I'd seen this earlier.
I added a few bags to the wish list.

Hope I am not too late....but I added values on column X

I moved your order to the waiting list as we have already filled a pallet. If people drop out when it comes time to pay, we'll go down the waiting list. Or if we have enough on the waiting list to fill another pallet before we order, we'll do two pallets.

 

[govya]

Up to 17 on the waiting list

Thanks for the response and all those assisting.

How do I put what it want on the waiting list? I completely missed th we are ordering. I want to get 2 bags of 2 row

 

[sfrisby]

Go to the spreadsheet and at the bottom on the left hand side you will see the wait list.

thanks, I'm on my phone at work and it's a pain in the ass to see it on this small screen

I just added myself to the waiting list for one bag of Briess 2 row. Happy Thanksgiving, folks.

I think we are closing in on getting a homebrew store to sponsor the Country Malt buy (now known as Brewcraft). The store is located inside the perimeter but don't want to say just yet in case they decide not to go through with it for whatever reason. But I feel comfortable starting the signup so we can fill the pallet and get the order in as soon as possible.

The process will be more like the last buy with Wine Work Shop where we paid WWS for our own portion then they paid the grain company. Once the order arrives, we can then go to the store to pick up our bags. When you sign up, please put your name and email address in a column (just follow my lead). I will need your real name and email to pass it along to the store so they can bill us.

I ask your patience on two fronts. First, I am no way an QA person with computers. The spreadsheet is above my head. I copied and tweaked it to suit our needs. If you see something that is off, just let me know and I'll do my best to fix it. Second, this is the first time we will be using this program through Brewcraft and the first time this store will be hosting a group buy. There is potential for snafus, so if something happens during this leaning experience, please be patient as we work to solve the problems. I doubt any problems will turn up, but if so, cvbb mÿttgjyyykkkgnmmmmc v Mm

I think we will have the order submitted by the end of the week. If you want in, in attempt to get us up to a full second pallet, add it to the waiting list soon.

 

[Beerzrus]

I added 4 sacks. I hope this takes us to another pallet. It would be awesome to set something like this up quarterly.

[Beerzrus]

How are we looking? Is the order still going through and will we get a second pallet? If we are a sack or two short of getting to a second pallet let me know and I'll add more if I have to.

 

[jmark]

Yeah - depending on how short we are I'll pick up a sack (or maybe 2)

 

[sfrisby]

We are 14 bags short of a second pallet. I finally got the paperwork back from the lhbs yesterday to finish setting up the account with Country Malt. Even if we don't fill the second pallet, as long as it is seen as a positive experience by the lhbs, no reason we just don't go ahead with another pallet once we get up to 40. No need to wait if we know we have a full pallet ready to go.

We will be working with Hop City in Midtown. I am requesting actual shipping costs and sales tax info (country malt to Hopcity and Hopcity to us). So we should have final costs and payment instructions soon.

Once we get through this, we'll have a better understanding of the full process and future orders will be performed much faster.

 

[bizarrojosh]

So at this point the order is closed? If not I can add myself for about 3 bags by 12 pm tonight.

If it's closed I'll do it next time!

 

[sfrisby]

Everyone keeps asking about signing up for more bags. I keep saying, sign up on the waiting list. When we hit 40 bags, we'll order another pallet.

If we have 40 bags on the waiting list by Sunday night, we'll order 2 pallets. If not, I'll put the order in for 1 pallet and we'll order another on a separate order when we hit 40.

 

[bizarrojosh]

Thanks for clarifying.

 

[sfrisby]

Order submitted. Now working on getting Hop City set up as a customer of theirs. Could have overlapped last week if I knew that needed to happen. Will update when I know more.

 

[Jerz]

Very cool... I used to brew about twenty years ago prior to marriage.... seeing as I'm single again I'll be brewing again and I'm currently working on the new rig and hope to be up and running by Christmas doing 12 gallon batches... I put in an order for two sacks but may add to it once I narrow it down to what else I want to brew. Seems we're 12 sacks short of a pallet at this point.

Where will we be picking up the goods once the shipment comes in?

Cheers!
