Melbourne Grain Bulk Buy - Late Nov/early December

[Fourstar]

I'll try to make a mental note for a spare bag for Bertie and mants to split the smoked malt.

 

[Golani51]

Is there anyone who has car space and can collect some (6) boxes of bottles on the day for me? I can collect Saturday evening (after 9) or most of Sunday, so you won't have to worry about stashing it. Unfortunately cannot get there for the bulk buy.

Thanks in advance,

G

I'll try to make a mental note for a spare bag for Bertie and mants to split the smoked malt.

I've managed to secure some big mayo tubs, approximately 3/4 the size of a handy pail (I think). I _think_ the grain should fit in them, but if you could manage a spare bag for a 'just in case' moment, I'd really appreciate it. I can always return it once I've got myself sorted.

I have 9L tubs that i use which hold 5 KG no sweat (roughly 600g of malt to 1L volume~). so your 6-7kg (1/4 sack) should be good in anything that holds 12L or more.

Either way, I've put a reminder in my phone to bring two empty sacks.

Oddly enough, mayo is shipped by weight and not volume*, but these tubs say 14Kg on it. Anyone know the density of mayo and the resulting weight:volume ratio?

I'm hoping that half that amount of grain will go in them.


*I have no affiliation to mayo producers, so I maybe wrong. I am, after all, just guessing.

I've got a heap of bags at work if needed, They are farm super bags. Brand new though, looks to me the same as grain bags, same material. Prob got 300 or so. Let me know if anyone would like some brought along.

OK guys,

I've made up a spreadsheet for the day that's much easier for me to follow.

If you could cast your eye over it and make sure I haven't lost anything translating from one spreadsheet to another, that would be great. I'll be printing it off and double checking it against the latest updated whole sheet but several sets of eyes is better than one.

Any errors - please let me know here. My PM inbox is close to full.

I'm not sure I've included everyone's pick ups - I have a memory that da bear is picking up for someone else?

Total bags is total bags being collected by that user - not total bags ordered so if someone else is picking up for you your total will say '0'

Thanks

PS: you may need to zoom out to see the whole spreadsheet. Non-excel users - there is a bar towards the bottom that you can slide from 100% up or down to fit the thing in your screen. Non-excel users includes me really. ******* annoying **** formatty stuff from Microsoft - more of a headache than word.
