Even though I am not in on this buy, I may be able stop by with my scale to help out with the splits. I had too much fun with it last time and it was a good opportunity to fil some growlers. Not a guarantee, but I should be able to make it.

Just a heads up, there are 4 splits still open. These will be likely canceled if they don't fill by Friday 5/1 @midnight. I doubt we'll give them an additional week as we may not get them delivered by 5/16, the day of pick up.
Please take a look and see if you need some of those and help fill them.

I already offered to take 10# of Flaked Oats if need be. I could also grab 10# more of PBW if need be (although if I do, it might be the last time I ever buy it). ;-)

Lol, that's like when I bought 30# of rice hulls. Lifetime supply.
I can see the peated barley having trouble filling, but all the others are commonly used.
If we can unload 70# of PBW within a week, why not the additional 30# during the following month? We all know what that stuff goes for in the brew store. If you can use 5#, I'm sure you can find use for 10#. Sell some at your brew club if you must.
Many of us have picked up grain balances to close splits, but it's not meant to be that way. Participants should want to buy. Maybe a larger buyers base can help with that. And new brewers, who don't have much in stock.
It will be a sad chapter if these last ones can't close, so make an effort, dear brewers!
That wheat DME will be good for a couple years, stored cool and dry. Brew more wheats, the girls love em!

That's the spirit!
Added. Thank you.
BTW, you can add (flaked) oats to many other styles for some of that smooth mouthfeel and extra head retention. Works great in Wheat Beers, Pales, Porters, etc.

I'll take 10# each of the Briess DME Bavarian Wheat and the Flaked Oats to help close them out.
On another note, I have a shipping scale I can bring to assist with the splits. What time is the earliest to start showing up?

Both added. Thank you for helping out.
I won't be there on pick up day, Reddskinnfan will coordinate and supervise the splits.
In the past, I've been arriving by 9:30 and always got in to get a head start on sorting, counting, etc.
Most will arrive by 10. Pickup is typically set for 11.
There are only 12 sacks to be split (or less
). With 4 teams of 2 that's 3 sacks each.
Thanks for helping out. Added.

Reminder, there are 4 splits still open. 3 of these have only small quantities left (10-15#). It won't take much to get these filled, if everyone chips in a bit.
Any splits that don't fill by Friday 5/1 @midnight, are likely to be canceled. I doubt we can give them an additional week as we may not get them delivered by 5/16, the day of pick up (we've been in that unfortunate position 2x already).

I'll take the Flaked Oats 15# to close that out.
You're a good man! The last 15# of oats for you. Oatmeal Stout in the near future perhaps?
I'll take 5# of Bavarian Wheat DME.
(Even though I don't need it.)
(Even though I don't need it.)
in case this inspires someone: wheat DME can be used for starters, same as barley DME... maltose is maltose.
Thank you, added. I'm sure you'll use it. That stuff is good for years.
Received!

I think I am all paid up again. LOL
Yes you are, thanks!
Now who is going to take that last 5# of Bavarian Wheat DME? You've come all this way... now someone finish it.
If Keith or Tony can pick up for me I can finish out the DME and I will order two full bags of other grain
Nice gesture! I'm pretty sure Tony or someone else can hold on to your order. Better be quick putting those sacks on, and paying Tony, and me. :rockin:
Okay I'll take it and a bag of Crisp Marris Otter CRI1001 and a bag of Briess 2 row BRI1002
Thanks
Thanks
All added. Thank you! Wheat DME is closed now too.
Just submitted payments on Paypal. Thanks fellas
Got it! Thanks for the speedy payment.
A few others, however, still have a balance due. Please remit ASAP.

Not bad...but not what we want either. We will see what next week brings. Worst case we cancel and refund or reorder something more attainable.
Cheers and get those payments in to Frits ASAP!!

I have a 10 gal with weldless 3/4" ball valve used 3 times. It's heavy duty with the clad bottom.
Yes, those last 3 filled, so you're good to order all of the above.
Note:
I'm still waiting for 1 splits payment, from @joshindc. I'll contact him, no need to hold up the order.
