Middle Tennessee Group Grain Buy

[1234]

No busted kneecaps, just slashed grain bags

 

[jcalisi]

that might be even worse...

 

[Tbesst]

Noooo not the grain.... take my wife instead.

Just got confirmation today that I can accept the delivery. We can also store it there for a few days if need be. My school is in Bellevue near HWY 100 and Old Hickory. I live in East Nashville very close to Titan Stadium and can also meet people there if needed. Someone is there at school to recieve deliveries from 7am-5pm M-F.

Ranger,where you have the forklift, can the grain be stored inside for 1 day if necessary? We can't guarantee what day the truck will show up. They said it takes between 24-48 hours to get them loaded, then delivery time. If all goes well, that should only be 1 day. So were looking at a 2-3 day window from time of order, that's if there's no breakdowns or other problems.

I can also come down and help as long as it's NOT on a Tuesday or Wednesday night. It will just take me 1.5 to 2 hours to get there once called. I'm almost certain it will be a weekday delivery.

 

[1234]

Cool! Now pay up you mofo.

 

[Ranger9913]

i did about 20 mins ago

 

[1234]

Once everybody is paid we will pay NCM and make sure that we can get the grain delivered during Spring Break, right Ranger?

 

[1234]

I hope you caught the humor!

 

[maffewl]

1234... did you get any word back about the crushers?

 

[1234]

I haven't! I sent them an e-mail letting them know that I really do think customer service is as important as the mill themselves.

 

[Ranger9913]

That will work but I would need the drive to call me and give me an ETA or have a known date a delivery.

[maffewl]

Haha... good thing this isn't a restaurant... my mill would come with spit in it.

 

[1234]

I know that Rebel is working on a grain mill that will carry their name. It is supposed to be SS, but could be a couple of bucks more. Rebel is sold out of the mills at this time or I might run down and pick one up.

 

[maffewl]

I'm kidding by the way... I'm with you on the customer service though, must be nice to be in a business where you don't care about interested customers or selling your product. Thanks again for your efforts.

 

[Countryham]

payments sent! i had 2 bags of cm 2 row and 1 bag of maris otter. Where are we meeting to pick these up?

 

[wildwest450]

Good job boys, all of HBT is paid in full. Just one more payment and were ready to rock.

[1234]

It seems that one of the 2 non-HBT members is the hold-up. I am sorry for that and I thought he would have taken care of this last night. I will e-mail him to let him know that he is the only one who hasn't paid.

We still have some time, but it would be nice to be ready on our end.

[1234]

I just got an e-mail back and it looks like he will do it this afternoon. He apparently was fighting with his not that old flat screen TV. I think his priorities are not in order!

 

[wildwest450]

We're oficially 100% paid in full. Let the games begin. Now to get a firm date and pray the truck can meet it.

[1234]

Ranger, When is the best time? Do you want it during spring break?

 

[1234]

Countryham, Can you pick-up and hold 3 bags of 6-row?

 

[Countryham]

Sure can. Won't be a problem at all.

 

[maffewl]

Any word on the status of the grain buy?

 

[wildwest450]

Any word on the status of the grain buy?

We're nailing down a date. I believe were shooting for Thursday the 17th.

If anyone wants it faster, all I need is commercial address in Nashville and enough room to store it so everyone can get it at their leisure. Not an easy task.

 

[bernerbrau]

A former boss of mine owns his own business. I just don't think he owes me a favor this big.

 

[wildwest450]

It may be sooner. We all owe Ranger9913 a big thanks. He's doing everything possible to speed things up.

[maffewl]

Cheers to Ranger, 1234, Wildwest... and anyone else behind the scenes!

I'll admit, I am just as stoked about the group brewgather as I am the grain!

 

[1234]

I am willing to host the group brew day at my house on the weekend that we get the grain. I would ask that if you have mash tun and boil kettles then bring them. Please bring a propane tank if you have one. I am thinking that I would like to do a Nut Brown Ale. What does anybody else want to do. We will probably have some folks who will just need to bring a carboy and some cash. How about you bring some beer if you have it as well, that way we can each see what others are brewing.

That stinks for me because I have a professional licensure exam to study for this weekend (will take on Monday the 14th) and a major project for work to complete next weekend (which is due on Monday the 21st) . After those, I'm free for quite a while... wish I could be there, but I'll catch the next brewhaha. Thanks again everyone for all the efforts in scoring this deal for all of us.
