country malt group order in the charlotte/greensboro n.c. areas?

[Reelale]

Just to avoid any confusion, the price per pound per the .pdf posted on page 1 (>=1000 lbs) * 55lbs is the same as the sack price? If we get to 37 sacks, should we change the 2000-4000# price range?

Yes, that is the bag price. And yes, if our total order is over 2000 lbs, we get the lower price.

 

[Howie]

I'm in for 3 sacks.

I'll hold off until tomorrow morning before I send my paypal in the event we get enough for the price and shipping drop.

Reelale, I can see you are anxious but maybe you should wait another week. For one, I just transfered funds to my paypal account but it will take 3-5 days to process. 2,some may not have paypal accounts and will need to set them up. 3, its a holiday weekend and a lot of members may not even log in to HBT.

You're right, hadn't thought of the holiday weekend. And I thought you didn't necessarily need to have an account to transfer money into someone's existing account. I'm flexible, whatever the majority wants to do is fine. We'll see how many respond today.

 

[Howie]

I'm in no rush. I can wait a week.

Once the order is placed, how long to get the grain? I assume just a few days?

 

[Barc]

Either way is OK with me. I'm fine waiting an additional week or not. It looks like we're pretty close to the magic 37 number. Aren't we at roughly 34 / 35 or so?

 

[Reelale]

Yes, there is interest so far for 34 bags.

 

[Barc]

Are you counting the 1 Vienna we're thirding out? If not, that'll be another.

Anyone want to split a bag of Vienna?! We still need another.

You may be right about the Paypal stuff, I dont know. I just think a lot of people are headed to the beach, mountains, or wherever right now and websurfing and grainbuying are not going to be priorities. It's going to be a beautiful weekend after a crappy winter.

Yeah, I was counting that. Yes, who wants to go 1/3 on a 55-lbs. of Vienna?

 

[idahoDal]

I'll take the other 1/3 of Vienna. I figure I can find a use for it pretty easily.

I'd be up for splitting a bag of 60L too if anyone cared.

Everyone paying attention here be sure to check out the GRABASS event this Saturday here: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f20/grabass-brew-n-q-4-3-10-a-168926/

Would probably do ReelAle a big favor if we could pay the man on Saturday so he doesn't eat any PayPal fees.

Thank you for that! I almost forgot about the fees. I think the sender can pay those upfront, or it's free if from a paypal or direct transfer from bank account. I'm not sure if I can make it Saturday, would really like to but just not sure yet.

Looks like we're up to 35 bags now.

 

[Howie]

So, are we officially waiting until next week??

 

[oceanselv]

I vote we delay this a week. My Paypal payment is not scheduled to hit reelale's account until April 7.

 

[Walker]

The way I figure it, I am going to go ahead and pay now, assuming we don't get to the price break point. If we get there, Reelale can keep the extra for his troubles.

In fact, I think I'll tip him a few bucks anyway.

 

[Walker]

Hmmmmm.... i just paid, but I didn't see any place for me to check off who was covering the paypal fees (I used my credit card for the funds). I thought there would be a follow-up screen showing the fee stuff, but there wasn't. Just a "We have sent your payment. Thanks." page.

I guess this means the fees for my order are getting socked to Reelale. I sent $45 to cover a $40.95 order... so the money for the fees is covered, but it means my tip wasn't as large as I had intended.

Sorry about that, man!

 

[Walker]

OK. I see what happened. When you send money, you have two ways of classifying it. One is "purchase" and the other is "personal".

If you select "purchase" (the default), the fees will automatically get assigned to Reelale. If you select "personal", I think you get to choose who pays.

Keep that in mind!

Good to know. I'm no PayPal expert like SWMBO is. Thanks Walker. I'll keep it in mind. 2.9% on 2000lb of malt is likely to sting!

Are we still below the price drop point?

Thanks for that Walker. I can't absorb those fees on this large of an order.

Remember it's free if a direct transfer from an existing PayPal account or bank account. Still at 34-35 bags so far.

Got your PayPal. Thanks.

 

[dresselbrew]

Just want to get a quick line in. I want to order 2 sacs. Fawcett Maris Otter and Fawcett Golden Promise. I didn't see what the exact prices were so if someone could pm me or just reply I'd appreciate it.

I'll look at this thread in more detail tonight when I get some more time and maybe I'll just figure it out then.

 

[Reelale]

Easier for you to look at earlier posts. We have tentative comittments for 2035 lbs. now, so that is the price-point in the catalog. Looks like right now shipping will be $4.86/bag.

 

[Walker]

Looks like right now shipping will be $4.86/bag.

Ok, cool. My payment was based on $5.75 per bag shipping (plus the PITA tip), so even though I stuck you with the fee, I think I'm good.

I think this will all be more clear come this weekend. I hope to have a firm total price by then. I'm good if you're good. I can always Paypal you back the difference

Keep it. I paid $45 for 55lbs of Gambrinus Pale Ale. In my book, I got a great deal no matter how you look at it. I don't care how much of that $45 goes into your pocket.

Well actually it will be going into my gas tank for the delivery. But yeah, I think it's a good deal all the way around.

ReelAle, Barc,
Which Vienna are we splitting 3-ways? Bairds 55lb at $0.54, Best 55lb at .51, Franco-Belges 55lb at .52, or Great Western 50lb at .57 ?

I'm going to add another bag of some kind of 2-row/pale/MO to my order also, so add another bag total to the mix. Soon as I know what Vienna I'll paypal the cash over to you.

off to look at the catalog....be right back.

 

[Reelale]

I like the Franco-Belges, seems to be a litle lighter SRM. I don't care though, any of those will work for me.

 

[Barc]

Don't really care either way... Since Reelale spoke up and said Franco-Belges, I think that's what we'll go with. Plus, he's coordinating so I'd say let's keep him happy!
