Bullshit.
Maybe half a pallet is wholesale to you T.D., but to Cryer or Bintani or any other maltster, it's a sneeze in a big big bucket, and barely warrants the time to pick up the phone. They used to be happy to do it, and now their not. I would say that it's more as a result of their own accounting dept calling a halt to it than anything else. And they asked me for my ABN number when I was talking to them this morning by the way.....
If you don't mind me asking, how many pallets did you order from them this morning? 5? 10? 100? I doubt it. I know for a fact that you can buy half pallets of both JW and Cryer malts as a wholesale transaction.
If half a pallet is a "sneeze in a big bucket" then why did they sell half pallets to home brewers not so long ago? I am not coming up with some random figure that I call wholesale - its a quantity that I KNOW Cryer (and other malt companies) are willing to supply at a wholesale level. A pallet is obviously preferable for all concerned, but half a pallet is fine.
This has turned into a circular argument, with the initial point being lost long ago. Everybody just keeps repeating the same silly argument and I'm sick of repeating myself.
I agree, close the thread.
