Our order has been received and passed to G&G wholesaler.
I have had no definitive answer re. everything is available, but I was keeping G&G updated re. quantities, who in turn were keeping the wholesaler updated.
Soon as I have confirmation, I will post back.

 

[haysie]

Hi Everyone,
I have spoken to G&G, the order has been accepted, no issues either re. the 4th pallet only having 15 sacks.

PICK UP will be between 9AM and 1PM Saturday 13th.
A few guys have requested early p/up, work committments etc. So, if possible try to avoid the 9.00>9.30 time slot, unless of course you have to, so the fella`s who need too get out, can.
Arthur will be assisting me with the despatch on the day.

If you are picking up grain for somebody else, please let me know via PM!! I dont want any heresay on the day.

For those that are interested, BREWING DEMONSTRATION will be on between 10AM and 1PM.

Apart from a weather forecast of fine and sunny 20deg on Saturday. Thats about it from me.
Look forward to putting some faces to names.

Cheers
Haysie

No worries! A camera I will have.

Here is our invoice for anybody interested View attachment Copy_of_AHB_malt_Invoice_2008_09_08.xls
For the door prize, how many litres of 1050 wort would we get from the 3375kg of grain? :blink:

Haysie

 

[tim_mortensen]

Lumping a few of the categories together:

%
pils 33.3
ale 30.4
wheat 11.1
munich I 10.4
munich II 4.5
vienna 4.5
crystal 3.7
choc 0.75
rye 0.75

Would make an interesting pale ale. Anyone for trying a Bulk Buy Memorial Ale???

Nice to meet Haysie and Arthur this morning. Well done fellas on organising the bulk buy. Also good to talk to a few others about brewing, Nick from G&G, Les from Strathmore, Ilikebeer from Portland and the big fellas from Albury. I hope the suspension on the Ford doesn't give out on the way back to Albury :lol:

 

[Stubbie]

Les from Strathmore

It's alright, John; lots of people get it wrong. :lol: Twas Salv from Strathmore.

Great effort Haysie, and G&G, who came to the party. Even the splits went over smoothly. Was a good opportunity to put some faces to names and have a chat.

Cheers

 

[Kleiny]

Thanks Haysie for your hard work

Thanks Brendan for collecting my grain and thanks razz for the offer to collect :icon_cheers:
