are they going to open the tasting room for us?
Unfortunately the tavern doesn't open until 12 on Saturday, but the bringing of homebrew for sharing was strongly encouraged!

I can be there Saturday AM. And Julie said that I am free to come up there at any time to help you break down the pallets. Just let me know if you want my assistance, Ryan.

I can't do Saturday AM. I can do most any other time. Does someone mind holding on to the grain for me?
I'll be running an absurd amount in Umstead Park Saturday morning.

I'm sure that someone can hold your grain for you Frank. That goes for everyone else too. People are pretty good at helping others out if they aren't able to make it to pickup. I actually live over by Umstead so you may be able to come over after you're finished if I'm home. We'll work it out.

What it sounds like is that they started selling to HB stores so it was kind of an agreement for them to stop selling directly to the customer so the HB stores get there cut/markup.

Are you sure? I don't see the resemblance. Hope to see you there Reel, but I understand if you can't make it.
What about our Wilmington and SC folks on here? What say you?
I'm the much better looking bro. You need some help with all that grain.

I should be ok. Walker and barc have volunteered to help. I'm gonna have a buddy helping me more than likely as well, so I should be fine. It really doesn;t take that long to get it all sorted, although I got off easy the last time with a whole pallet with just 2-row on it. I've got a system now though that seems to work pretty well.

I. Am. So. There!
I'll take all my splits in the original bags, if that's ok. I collect them. I'm weird.
You. Are. A. Good. Man.

Dallas is slowly wallpapering his garage with them, so... you might be weird, but you aren't alone.
I am in on three splits. C60, Carapils, and Maris Otter.
I've got two large tupperware containers that each hold about 12# of grain, so I'll bring those for my portions of the crystal and carapils.
The sack of maris otter is actually all going with me. Chad needed grain, so he came by Monday and took 27.5# of the Maris Otter I already had on hand.

Walker, I'm still keeping you as my contingency plan but I will try to actually make the pickup the day of either in person or have my Raleigh friend do it. I'd like to meet some fellow HBTers but driving in from Winston Salem on a Saturday morning isn't the most likely scenario. I foresee me leaving WS at or around 10-11 and I think it is roughly a 2 hour drive.
Walker, I'll keep you posted by phone on pickup day.

Preferably someone who lives in North Raleigh or north east Wake County.
Thanks!

No problem. Just let me know.
If there's anyone from the Clayton/Garner area that ordered and cannot make it, I can grab yours when I'm there and we can meet somewhere later that weekend.
Of course if it's raining, This may not be the best option in my truck.

If I had to guess.... I wouldn't guess. I'd look back up a few posts.

I'm afraid it's gonna be a long road for you, wherever you are coming from.
Must be an Idaho thing.

Ok. I want to be completely up-front on these orders. I went back through the invoice last night. I did not see a line item for tax. NCM invoices by unit (bag) price and extends it by quantity. Going through the invoice, item by item, I did notice some discrepancies. For instance:
NCM invoiced BD-MOPA @ $35.83/bag. The spreadsheet had it at $35.20/bag.
NCM invoiced GW-2ROW @ $25.00/bag. The spreadsheet had it at $27.00/bag.
As you can see, there is no pattern to account for the differences. The bottom line is the invoice came in at $159.43 less than what people paid me.
I don't relish the thought of calling NCM and going through prices, item by item. I didn't check the last order as closely, and it would have been even more convoluted with the refund of the shipping charge. I do not have that invoice as I destroy them once the sale is complete. I simply take the paypal balance, transfer to my bank account and pay with a credit card.
It appears to me that everyone is satisfied with the price they are paying for their malt. I'm not doing this to make money, I'm doing it to help people out. I have ordered, for myself, about 50 lbs. total on the last two orders.
So, if anyone has any problems with me retaining this overage as a "service fee", please PM me and I'll refund your pro-rated amount, if we can figure it out. Thanks.

Nah, total "tips" came in at a whopping $22.00. I just wanted to let everyone know what was going on.
