Syracuse, ny - round 5 group grain buy

[CidahMastah]

Im pretty sure Cidah did include this with the order, but it looks like its missing from everyone's grain list.

I must have forgotten to add this to the running list. It did make it into the order.

You guys are keeping me honest! it is updated on post 2

 

[CidahMastah]

Man - no good way to get the cost down on the towers! haha

the perlicks just kill you at about $60 a pop if you go for the 575ss and stainless shanks. To get the towers it isn't that much more to get a cool looking compact unit...

ugh, decisions decision...

Damn, I just remembered I have to bring containers for my splits! That could have been bad.

Yeah guys - as we get closer to grain pick up please remember:

1. Grab containers or bags for your splits.
2. Give Justin a courtesy text on the way in to let him know your ETA. This is not at his house, so you need to let him know when you are coming.

There is a walmart and a lowes nearby, so if you forget those will be your options for grain pick up.

Let Justin and I know if you have any questions.

Hey anyone picking up from Syracuse might be able to help me out?

I was supposed to pick up TwoGunz's stuff for him(about 200#) but concerned about the total weight I'm moving in my car.

Can anyone that's coming from Syracuse be able to pick his stuff? I'll have all of his splits pre-sorted and weighed out for you at jhenderson's place.

Let me know if you could help out.

Thanks,
Jeff B

Do we have a date yet?

 

[CidahMastah]

Do we have a date yet?

Pick up will be when everyone's individual checks clear.

 

[Mparsons327]

JHenderson, Your inbox is full. I have a few questions about pick up.

 

[CidahMastah]

JHenderson, Your inbox is full. I have a few questions about pick up.

feel free to text or call him as well

wanted to say this too (to the group not you specifically mparsons):

I am fronting the entire $3k for this order. So the next time around I am going to expect people to pay within a week or forfeit the right to their grain and potentially future buys. Not trying to be a jerk here, but if you can't pay within a week then you shouldn't participate. It holds up the group and isn't fair to the people who are responsive and pay quickly.

That isn't pointed at anyone, just sayin'

 

[CidahMastah]

jbsengineer - i have your money order in hand!

 

[Mparsons327]

Nevermind to what I said before. I can get your stuff TwoGuns. I should be able to fit it all just fine.

For those who live east of Syracuse, I am planning a trip from Albany to pick up the grains after all payments have cleared. So far I will be picking up my order and gergelgat's order. Are there any others located east of Syracuse who would like thier grain picked up? We would need to coordinate drop off, which needs to be somewhat fluid as I am not sure when I will be making the trip.

I could really use a pickup for my 1/3 splits of roast b, brown malt, and pale chocolate if possible for Syracuse. Any chance Rust or Cidah could get mine along with your portion of the spit? It looks like I got to go back to Maine for a while for work, probably leave Friday. I'll be happy to help with gas $.

bierhaus - jeff b is grabbing my grain so i won't be headed out there, sorry man!

rust - sounds like you need to make your brewing rig modular! I assume this means you found a job so that is good. That means you will be able to put some more coin into your hobby haha. Congrats

if i do you MUST so unfortunately i will only be able to brew when i come home now...

the good news is... you have all your kegs filled!


Guys - in general wanted to say thanks for being quick and considerate about getting the money orders and cert checks out so quick. I really appreciate it and it made a potentially tough payment a heck of a lot easier. So keep the payments coming in, and next time I think we can do a combination of payment methods so we can speed the payments up, add convenience to payers while flying low under the radar.

Yeah, I'm getting Cidah's and TwoGun's. I wish i could fit more but I wont be able to. Sorry.

Just had a thought, people doing the PBW split may want to bring a mask. I know even when I measure out grain at home it can be kinda dusty and bad for you lungs... I can't even imagine how bad PBW would be inside you. Just something I thought of.

That shouldn't be a problem. Thanks.

 

[CidahMastah]

Ok all Cat's out of the bag

Grain order is in - not so fast - if you don't have a blue "C" by your name you can't pick up your grain yet. That means that if you have coordinated a pick up with someone and they don't have the coveted blue "C" by there name you can't pick up for them.




gergelgat $70.18 (check - Pending Receipt)

The blue "C" means payments are in free and cleared [you are cleared for pick up]

NOTES:
1. Please coordinate your pick up with jhenderson ASAP, so he can clear the grain out of his race shop.
2. Text jhenderson with your ETA; and coordinate pickup with him. This is not his house so he is not always there.

When your cleared for pick up I will arrange to meet you, not before. everyone on this buy should thank Cidah, he fronted this entire order not because he wanted to, more so beacuse he had to or no one got the product. Going forward with future buys, if you do not having to payment to the buyer in 1 calendar week or 5 business days your out. This is more than enough time. Keith or anyone else putting their hard earned money on the line is more than nice, the least you could do is square up quickly, this is not directed to anyone just my own statement as we all work hard to get this completed, mostly Keith. Pickup is a different subject, i am fine with holding a short time for your supplies, not months as we run a race business and we need the room. Like i said i am fine for a short period but don't forget stuff like i did at cidahs for like 5 months : ).

Thanks for the support!

I think it all is just exercising some respect, good judgment and reasonableness - if you don't have those elements, see jhendersons note above for etiquette haha

pshhhhh... Keith (cidah) we know the real reason why you wanted all that... YOU WANTED TO CLAIM ALL THE GRAIN FOR YOU SELF, WE KNOW THE REAL TRUTH.. :fro: Haha

yeah, maybe i can get some more kegs and get those full as well... now that i will have an income.

but jhenderson would you be able on saturday for a pickup?

 

[CidahMastah]

pshhhhh... Keith (cidah) we know the real reason why you wanted all that... YOU WANTED TO CLAIM ALL THE GRAIN FOR YOU SELF, WE KNOW THE REAL TRUTH.. :fro: Haha

It would give me a hell of a backlog hahah!

jhenderson27 - can you pm me your address and contact info? I will be driving from the Albany area. I'm thinking of combining this with taking my son with me to either visit relatives in Syracuse or possibly even going to the Rochester AHL game on Friday night or Syracuse vs Albany game on Saturday night in Syracuse. There's a bunch of things in the air to make this happen, but knowing your availability is key to any of it.

Thanks.

p.s. this group buy has cost me a lot of money (besides the grains). I bought a pair of ski's this past weekend at a show here in Albany. I didn't have my boots with me, and the place I bought them from is in Utica. So, I would need to go to Utica to get the mount done. But, my rationale was "Well, I have to go get my grains anyway."
