[jhenderson27]

Update:

Ok - should be getting the quote in for this in the next hour or so.

SUBSTITUTIONS:
Presently, NCM is out of CM-2ROW and they will not be supplied with that in the near future. They have offered to substitute out the 2-row with the superior pilsen for the same price (see comparison below).

This affects 9 bags
Brewdiver x 3
Gergelgat x 1
Brehuh x 1
Stunsm x 1
Wheadman66 x 3

SRM for CM-2ROW and Superior Pilsner is nearly identical.

If you can't live with the substitution please let me know ASAP


PRODUCT COMPARISON:

CMC Superior Pilsen (1.4-1.9°L)
Produced from selected lots of premium Canadian grown Copeland barley, Canada Malting Superior Pilsen is
low in total protein, high in extract and low in color which makes it a perfect base malt for lagers of all types.

CMC Canadian 2-Row (1.5-2.1°L)
Traditional, premium grade 2-Row malt made from the finest Canadian barley malt varieties. This malt is a
suitable base for all beer styles.

Also - if someone is able to secure a loading dock at their work or similar - we would stand to save somewhere between 160+ on shipping. That would bring the cost from ~6.50 per bag down to more like $4. So if anyone has such an offering locally - PM me and we can see of we can make it work.

Current shipping cost is ~$270, we would save ~160

Loading dock - commercial address - no lift gate needed.

270/42 = $6.43 per bag
110/42 = $2.62 per bag

A really nice savings if we can get such a location for delivery.

Sounds good to me. I may have availability to a dock but it would then be in ROC.

For this order - since they are processing the invoice - and people bought under the pretense of Syracuse buy, we will keep it in Syracuse, unless a dock is available in Syracuse. However - in the future that is something that we could consider for sure.

The one tough aspect of the commercial dock is... everyone has to be there to pick up there grain at the same time, roughly. And the commercial address has to be patient in that aspect.

Works for me.

Next time I might be able to get a dock for us in SYR. I'd just have to look into the logistics.

That's cool w/me!

 

[gerglegat]

Substitution fine with me.
Thanks
FYI, the Loading dock shipping price would be the same for any business address with forklift availability. In other words, a forklift alone would suffice without a dock. I have that accessibility in Albany, but too far for everyone I'm sure.

Substitutions:

Hey all - just a quick note here:

I know we got hit with a substitution for the 2ROW on this one, unfortunately substitutions happen. Due to the nature of a commercial order - it doesn't work quite like amazon.com or another store where a quick swap is easy to do. Once the substitution is offered and I make it, there are literally hours that go by after that decision is made before the order is often picked and unchangeable. I say all this because we had a last minute change request for the order - and unfortunately I couldn't make it because the order was picked. This is just the nature of the beast with a group buy.

Changes in the final hours of an order happen and it is essential that you monitor HBT to make changes quickly and appropriately.



I am working in the interest of expediting the order for the group - so I apologize to the person who couldn't get their change made. I thought in the least I would point this out so others understood the process better and could learn from it.

Personally a sub between pils and 2 row is like coke and pepsi. They are the same thing. I understand frustrations but you can mix them interchanably. Its .5 lovibond different and my palate sure cant tell the difference. Just my. 02

Haha - good coke/pepsi analogy.

I agree - I know a couple guys who only buy pils and use it as if it was 2row - because you can lager with pils but can't lager *well* with 2ROW (mostly due to the slightly darker SRM of 2row). I have had the ales they brew with the pils stuff and it is good beer. Maybe side by side I could tell a difference, but even then I doubt it.

Truth is - the PILS costs more and is considered a superior product - according to NCM

 

[CidahMastah]

Just so we are on the same page - if we don't process the payment by 5pm this order will be submitted Monday (or when payments have been completed). From the date we place the order, it will be a minimum of 3-5 days for it to process since this is a residential delivery.

What to expect:
1. Payment goes in and all have cleared - buyer calls in payment and shipment is activated.
2. Ships from Champlain, NY to warehouse.
3. Routed to local route - 1 day delay for residential delivery notification.
4. They notify me of the time of shipment and it is shipped the following day.

Steps left:

1. (PENDING) Everybody pays up (the order will NOT ship until everyone has paid via paypal)​

2. (PENDING) Once payed up (following the paypal instructions on page one of this thread) - the order will ship.​

3. (PENDING) CidahMastah will let everyone know when the shipment is to arrive (PENDING) and where it is shipping to (PENDING) , when to pick it up (PENDING) .​

4. (PENDING) We all slap high five and say job well done.​
