Houston Group Grain Buy #2

[Ravenshead]

The Dallas guys apear to be using http://missourimaltsupply.com/.

Don't know about the prices though.

Edit: I should have read the whole thread, they switched over to Country too.

HBT member 1234 has mentioned in other Group Buys that he'd be willing to place the order and have it shipped wherever. I have no idea if he's still willing to do this, but it's worth asking if they don't want to do business with you without a business CC.

I am in for two bags. Will post what tonight. Why not see if Steve will order with his account and have it shipped to you?

 

[schaez]

Give me a couple of days. They will send my application to corporate for approval.

 

[Ravenshead]

Ryan, that's just funny. It sounds like we're at work.

I'll sign it for you if it will help.

Don't tell me you forgot to use the new cover sheets on the TPS reports. Didn't you get the memo?

 

[schaez]

At time this has felt like work, but at least I don't do TPS reports at work and this results in beer.

Hey guys,
If you are looking to buy in bulk or a group buy I can help? I just opened a home brew shop in Humble and i am more then willing to assist... Send me an email [email protected]

Did anyone else make it out to the AHA Rally this afternoon? Brock put on a really great tour. He brought us everywhere.

I didn't sift through all seven pages of this thread but is the Houston group buy still in the planning stages? If so, I'd like more info.

I'm waiting on a response from Country Malt on setting up an account. I sent a request for a status earlier today.

I'm hoping I'll get a response from and I can put in the order, but they may not set the account up for me. The first pallet is full and the second pallet is pretty far from filling up. So there wouldn't be an order for a second pallet of it doesn't fill.

 

[kingwood-kid]

In the event that we get approved, I'd be in for 1 more bag if it will help fill pallet #2. For better or worse, my beer consumption seems to be trending upwards...

 

[Regulation]

They did it for the Dallas group buy!

 

[barrooze]

Any update on the new quote?

 

[schaez]

They responded confirming they received the request, but I'm waiting for the actual quote.

This is important so I think it bears repeating; some does not apply to us but the procedure is the same:

To pay, please follow these instructions carefully to avoid paypal fees.
• Log into paypal.
• Click the "Send Money" tab at the top.
• Put in the buyer's email address (check your PM inbox to get that address - I will send it out as soon as we have reached 42 bags or an order is confirmed).
• Put in the amount to send.

Here's the important part...• Under the amount box, click the "Personal" tab.
• Select "Gift".
• If you are paying from an existing paypal balance, or from your bank account, no fees will be charged. BUT... Paypal charges transaction fees for anything that is paid for with a CREDIT CARD. If you are paying with a credit card, you will have the option of selecting who has to cough up the money for those fees. Do not push those fees onto the buyer. Suck those fees up yourself.
• In the area at the bottom where it allows you to type in the custom text for the email that buyer will receive, be sure to include your name, as it appears on the spreadsheet (your homebrewtalk user name), so that buyer can track who has paid and who hasn't.
• Then send the money and chill out.
When the buyer has all of the money, he'll place the order.

Thanks, mredge. There's only so much I could write-up on my phone earlier.

The quote's been received and I sent out the cost breakdown to everyone's email.

 

[slappy1974]

Thanks for organizing.
Sent PM with my contact info.
Let me know how much money to send you by Paypal and your email.

 

[schaez]

Thanks slappy1974.

For those that aren't getting my email updates the grain got delivered today. I'll start a new Houston group buy thread this weekend to start the process over again. I'm going to take a look at the other threads to see if there's a better way to handle the bag requests and tracking process.

Cool, I'm down to my last 5 lbs of 2-row.

 

[kingwood-kid]

Schaez, I'll be there Sunday afternoon with a few thank-you homebrews to pick up my grain.

If anyone in the greater Humble area wants, I am willing to transport their grain to my house, roughly 5 minutes east of the mall.

 

[barrooze]

Thanks again Ryan! My malt has a happy new home.
