Central MA/Central CT Group grain buy ??

[xerotime]

I'm sending out an e-mail now with the details rather than posting my address and cell number all over the internet.

 

[jaginger]

I believe someone has volunteered to help get some grain to CT. Who should i make contact with there for a pickup in the Manchester or Windsor area?

thanks,
jason

I love my mill.

Ditto - I got the 7lb hopper on the Barley Crusher and have been very happy.

I have the same mill and it's great but I wish that I had gone for the bigger hopper.

Can't you get the extension for it? Or just find a metal shop that can fabricate the extension for you (probably take them all of 5 minutes to bend the metal and rivet it together)...

I went with the 7# hopper, since the 15# model was out of stock... I can put more grain into the hopper as room becomes available while milling... Although it could come in handy when crushing for MOAB...

I'm picking up for a few people already, so if you want I can transport your order back to Manchester.

RE: Hopper,

I rigged up a water jug to use as a hopper. the materials were free (few peices of wood to make the base) and it holds 25+lbs. I did this for a monster mill but im sure the barley crusher is similar.

I actually just got a Grizzly corona mill, but it is so crude I have doubts as to its grain-crushing abilities. Cranking it a few times without any malt in it, I think I'm going to get half flour and half uncrushed grains based on the wobble of the grinding plate.

The grain has arrived!

Isn't that sexy!

For some reason I thought it would be bigger...

Sweet. If you could validate the shipment against the order that would be good. if there are any issues we need to notify NCM asap (within 72 hours).

 

[konrad]

Thats what she said.


Wait a minute.....

All present and accounted for

I sent out an e-mail yesterday to everyone that was on the e-mail list with the info. Did you not get it? I sent you a PM with a copy of the e-mail just now.

 

[jaginger]

By my quick calcs, that's about ---

10,000 bottles of beer on the pallet, 10,000 bottles of beer.
Take one down, pass it around, 9,999 bottles of beer on the pallet

9,999 bottles of beer on the pallet, 9,999 bottles of beer.
Take one down, pass it around, 9,998 bottles of beer on the pallet...

Is now a good time to come pick it up, or would you prefer sometime in the afternoon?

I'm leaving for lunch in a few minutes but will be back at 1. Anytime between 1 and 4 this afternoon is fine

I'm planning on getting there after ~1pm myself... Getting my 7 sacks of wonder today... :rockin: :rockin: Plus bringing Josh's grain where he needs it...

 

[mikeho]

Hey Monox or Golddiggie, any way you could grab my 1 sack of 2-row? It would be much easier for me to pick up in Framingham or Natick, as I carpool with a co-worker in Framingham.

If you want to swing into Natick Center on your way home, I can have it at my place...

 

[mikeho]

Cool thanks, can you PM me with your address?

I hope you have a big truck!

Alright, so looks like I can pick up the grain on Sunday afternoon, if that is OK. Here is what I'm going to pick up:

Me:
1 CMC 2-row
1 Baird's pale

dami860:
1 CMC 2-row

K47K:
1 best pils
1 best wheat
1 CMC 2-row

jaginger:
1 Maris Otter (not sure of the brand)
.5 bag Vienna

So anyone know how the bag of Vienna is going to get split up? I'm not really sure how to transport it, if I'm honest.

 

[konrad]

jaginger, When are you picking up your order? We're splitting a bag and I'm going to pick my order tomorrow. Just wondering if I should bring a scale or if you will split the bag.

 

[konrad]

Wow. We posted at the same time.

I'm picking up my order tomorrow. I'll bring a scale and a container for 1/2 of my Vienna. You can just take jaginger's half in the bag it came in.

Heh, that is pretty funny. And that should work fine, just take your half and leave the rest, I'll pick it up and alert jaginger when I get home that I have the half-bag.

What time on Sunday? If I end up brewing I should be done by 4. Golddiggie was just here and picked up K47K's grain.

 

[k47k]

Yup golddigie hooked me up, but thanks for the offer.

 

[RIT_Warrior]

I can show up around 5, if that would be OK with you. And I'll scratch K47K's grain off the list, then.

That is probably a good thing, as I wasn't quite sure how my poor Camry was going to respond to 400 pounds of grain...
