Ok...what's the deal with a jackhammer and the rice hulls...I've never got them b4, so I'm missing the joke...

 

[lordura]

Ok, I'll take a quart for $10, sweet. I want to try that caramel amber that's in the recipe data base

Because they stuff all 50 pounds into a brick the size of a shoebox (exaggerating but it seems like it!!).. pain in the ass to split up !!

Ah, gotcha. Well, glad I'm not splitting it up then!

Is this week delivery out of the question? Just wanna make sure I will be able to be there to pick up.

Unfortunately. It takes about 2 days for the truck to make it from NCM to NEMF. Since the truck hasn't even left yet, the earliest i suspect would be the beginning of next week (depending on the weather).

 

[KoedBrew]

Bad news guys, NCM just called and said they got hit with 20" of snow and their lot is snowed in. No trucks going out until its cleared!

THAT MEANS THE PICKUP FOR WEDNESDAY IS CANCELED!

I have to wait for a call back to set up a new delivery date. I'll keep everyone posted!

Aww, this sucks I had plans for 24lbs of grain on Saturday.

 

[Rich_S]

When is round 14 coming? I'd love to get in on one of these.

Does everyone just meet at a loading dock somewhere one night to split up the pallet? Reason I ask is I'm usually out of town for work Mon-Thurs every week, so having to show up at a particular time on a Wednesday would be problematic.

 

[sethga]

^Yep, we show up at the depot and split it up. There's so many of us around here, especially close to the pickup, that even if we're not buying anything I'll still watch in case people need to hold / deliver ..

 

[vanwolfhausen]

PRetty soon we might need to start doing 2 pallets!!

I would definitely throw a little something someone's way if they could hold a sack for me until the weekend.

Last buy WAS 2 Pallets!

They come packed like a brick. It's actually not a bad idea to have a screwdriver or ice pick handy to help break them up.

Best thing we did was bring a huge bow-saw and slice the huge brick right down the middle. Of course, that is if you are splitting with someone. If you are keeping the whole sack, whatever you do, don't try to open it and put it in another container. You will regret it. Try to keep as much of the packaging as possible. I've just opened a small corner and pinch out what I need for each batch.

We did two pallets a short while ago. Turned out to be too many people in the lot, too much chaos and just not worth it.

 

[ferman]

Koed - Hit me up on email. I have a sack of 2-Row that is unopened. If you want to come down tomorrow or Friday, you can have it and I will replace it when the grain comes in.

I can also take a look at your burner and/or keggle if needed.

 

[lordura]

I just want to make sure everyone has either read the following post in the thread or received the PM.

I'm hoping to have a set date today.

 

[lordura]

OK, we are looking at Friday the 18th! It would have been sooner in the week but there is rain and some sort of holiday?

I'll PM everyone tonight with the details!

 

[ferman]

Yikes. Cutting into my brew day. LOL

Like a dirty, dented, rusty razor! Sorry





The NEW delivery date has been set for Friday, March 18th at 7:00pm!
(RAIN/SNOW will be the only cause for a change)

Location:
New England Motor Freight
1618 Union Avenue
Pennsauken, NJ 08110


When arriving at NEMF, Please wait OUTSIDE in the parking lot to the left of the building until you see me and a pallet of grain! Once you see me and the pallets, drive through the gate on the RIGHT SIDE of the building and drive all the way around the building.

If you are splitting a sack with someone, either plan on bringing a scale or getting a Homer Bucket at Home Depot and eyeballing up your split.

If you can not make it to the pick up on time on the 18th, PLEASE make arrangements for someone else to hold your grain for you!
NEMF is being very kind to allow us to continuously use there parking lot to split up our order. Lets not over stay our welcome. We need to get in and out!

If you can pickup for another member, please do! We have to try not to fill up the lot with cars. They still need to move trucks around.

If you have any questions or problems, please post on the forum or call me directly @ 856-313-3873

Cheers!

No offerings of extra money over costs in the public threads!
