Please dont ask for late orders

The buy was open for a month and unless you where in jail you had time to place an order.

ORDERS CLOSED

Bulk buys go really well when everybody pays attention and pays on time, for the majority of this buy its great, its a real PITA to try and organise late orders as there is a lot of emails and phone calls to make sure it will be included.

Thanks to all those doing the right things

I will try (notice try no promises) and acommodate the late orders within the last week but that is it (foot down)

Kleiny
 
Have just direct deposited the $80.50, sorry I'm late but my pc died on me.

Cheers :)
 
Just transferred it Kleiny. Sorry for the delay, was out of town for a little bit.

Thanks again.

Andy
 
No worries guys just wont to get GG the money as fast as possible, their is a fair lee way in the bulk buy with John ordering the malt before it is paid for. I dont know too many retailers that would offer that kind of service.

The quicker i get the payment the quicker i get rid of the money and GG get paid.

Fair enough i reckon

Hey Shimple and or SuperJim, hope it's still fine to grab mine as I am off to Dromana for the long weekend, can pick it Monday arvo or one of the nights in the week.

thanks for organizing a great buy.
 
Hey Shimple and or SuperJim, hope it's still fine to grab mine as I am off to Dromana for the long weekend, can pick it Monday arvo or one of the nights in the week.

Yeah all good Matt.

Jim,

I am happy to drive, should all fit in the back of the Prado.
 
Quick question for those who've purchased bulk grain before, rough what size (ltrs) would a container need to be to store a sack of grain (25kg)???

Cheers SJ
 
Supra-Jim, I'm using 70 litre olive bins, but anything ~50 litres would do the trick.
 
Good work, it has to make it easier when everyone's paid in a timely manner.

Has pickup for this Saturday (6th March) been confirmed?


Yes Pick up is confirmed as the 6th of March, all organised with graina and grape. I will be there from around 0915 but i dont hink GG open until 1000.

A 25kg bag of grain would take around a 50-60L container possibly a little larger. I get half bags into a 20L bucket with lid Just.

Does that mean we have access to the grain at this time Kleiny? Also, Two & 1/2 weeks ago i got my 20L handypail filled at Greensy and it fit 13KG of JW pilsner exactly.

600-650g per/L is usually what i get with barley. You get abit more with wheat and rye due to the smaller grain size and lack of husk.

I have a 60L willow black bin from bunnings for less than 20 bucks which i use for my base malt. You can squeeze 1 bag of grain in there still in the sack. Empty it out and i recon you would get close to 1 1/2 bags worth to the top.

Ive got to get myself 1kg of carafa special II while im at GG too. Can't forget!
 
Guy's, I've been there just after 9am on a Saturday a few times and they've alway been open.

Thanks Fourstar, how does this bin go with a seal (tight/air-tight/loose???). I keep everything in the garage and hence don't want to be making life comfortable for mice etc!

Well the lid 'clips' down, some better than others so road test them before you buy. As long as the mousey is incapable of a textbook swandive if oyu leave the lid open or has the strength to pop the lid off i'd say you are safe. Although something that screws closed and is airtight would be ideal but for the price its a pretty good substitute. I'd prefer to use these than the stackable underbed jobs you get from the reject shop, i believe the bins are HDPE so the chance of this bin cracking is slim.
