I know, it sounds likere there is enough interest to get a pallet. Ill go in for three bags. Any tips on how to order, I would do it, hiwever I have no storage space.
 
I think it needs to be a loading dock location for shipping the pallet. I believe I read that when I was reading through a catalog. If you coordinate it well, you can kick everyone else's sacks quickly.

...

Have people pick up at your shipping location. Maybe some deliveries can be made for people going in certain directions. Payment upfront is a good tip :).
 
I'm not sure what the status is on another order, but I would be interested in 4-5 sacks. Also posting in here so I don't lose this thread
 
Best I can tell, from May 28 to now, there is interest in at least 29 bags which I think is enough to get the ball rolling. I do consulting for a a guy who has a loading dock/warehouse in Windsor, CT - right off Rt 91 - and he would be able to receive the order. With the $80/pallet rate + fuel surcharges, freight would work out to at least $3-4/bag but the more bags we order (up to 42 bags) the better.

Here's where I got the count, if you said 3 to 4 bags, I used the lower number and if you did not specify a number but expressed interest I said 1 bag:

1 bag for erickhild59
1 bag for NuclearRich
2 bags for tomCT
2 bags for flexbrew
1 bag for orangehero
2 bags for dmsullivan
1 bag for schrod
4 bags for blueturtle00
4 bags for kaz4121
4 bags for wesolomon
3 bags for thunder001
4 bags for wrightbrew (<< that's me)

If you are all still interested maybe we can start getting specific about who wants what. I created a Google Form here for collecting the required info:
https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dFVuVk55c0otV1J2UDZ4Nmp5aUtXZ2c6MQ

Let's get this thing going.
 
I am intrested in at least 6 bags maybe 8 if I can still get in on this buy.

Let's get this thing going.

I am a member of the club that did the first buy and I am willing to help coordinate this buy. Freight is 80 and fuel surcharge will be about 20. Loading dock avoids the 75 lift fee. We really should fill a pallet. So the goal is 42 bags first come first serve. Also, paypal upfront is required.

The issues that come up are everyone wants bulk grain but come payment time things fade. Also, if we settle on a day to pick up grain everyone needs to make it there or coordinate with someone who can.

For example, I live on the shoreline east of new haven and I am happy to use my truck and grab grain for anyone local to me.

I am in for at least 4 bags.
 
I would actually want at least two bags, but don't want to pork anyone off the list.
 
Guys follow the link that wrightbrew setup and put what you want on the spreadsheet. When we get to 42 sacks we will collect payments, if people fall through then the thread can serve as a wait list. The spreadsheet is a must since its very clear and it will make payments. Wrightbrew listed minimums and got to 29, we need 42 so there is room for more bags if you want to order more.
 
I can also serve as a pick up point in the SE of CT. I have a truck and storage space. So if anyone needs help with pick up I am glad to help.
 
Going to go add in my 2-3 bags right now. Thanks for setting this up!

If there are any sack slots left, I could be interested. BUT, I might be moving to Maine shortly, so getting to CT would be rather difficult.

IF I don't relocate to Maine, I'd only be able to pickup on the weekend. Unless someone from the Metro-West area in MA, could get the sacks... Since I picked up several sacks of grain for other people last time, I'd rather not do that this time. Besides, I wouldn't be able to do that until I get the tailgate replaced on the truck. Which probably won't happen for at least a few more months (planned to happen before winter hits).

Its first come first serve. Follow the link that Wrightbrew setup in this thread if your interested. I am sure pick up on the weekend will be no problem. I am happy to help you with pick up if you need.
 
Thanks for putting this together guys.

I put in an order for 6 bags. I don't know if other items are game or not, but I also entered for a 50 lb sack of dextrose as well. If that is not doable then just nix it.

Thanks again! This is great
 
I filled in the form for 2 sacks if there is still room on the pallet, in addition to the split Rye. I'd also like to get 1 lb of Striesselspalt pellets.
 
NE Diver - I would appreciate the relay to your place. I can pick up from you as our schedules work out.

Drez77- I will put in the order for the Rauch. How do we split? Can you do it if NE Diver relays my grain?

Thanks!!

I will bring a scale and a second bag when I pick mine up. Just split it right there. We will find a way!
