Sydney Grain Bulk Buy [Feb 2013]

[stux]

Three cheers for Stux!
Looks like a mammoth effort.

Yes, turned into a bit of a nightmare

Ironic, because I was planning on actually running this BB in mid-feb, and the fawcett issues wouldn't have occurred then!

So I'm assuming pickups will be late next week?

There's going to be 3 pallets ordered from two suppliers. 1 whole pallet for the BB, and then pat will squeeze the remainder into his normal orders from the two suppliers.

The BB pallet will arrive first.

So, its quite possible your order will come in *this* Thursday or Friday.

Another pallet should arrive early next week, and another late next week.

I believe all grain should be delivered by the end of next week.

I will update the thread when peoples orders are ready to be picked up.

BTW, people who are sad they missed out

I'm still collecting names for a March BB.

First pallet has been ordered.

This includes everyones orders up to and including column AF in my spreadsheet... ie pimpsqueak

This pallet should *hopefully* arrive on Friday.

The rest of the orders should arrive during next week.

 

[vykuza]

Fingers crossed!

 

[stux]

Looks like no delivery today

Should be early next week then

Pat has my number on speed dial so I should get a call as soon as it arrives.

Can this be confirmed? Fletcher didn't see this post yesterday and just traveled to St Mary's to be told by Pat it will be "...a few good weeks".

 

[stux]

That's not the information I have

When I spoke to pat at 330pm on Friday he was expecting the first pallet on Tuesday

 

[fletcher]

fingers crossed. it was a long way out to drive (admittedly, i should have looked here first) and he told me that marris otter couldn't be delivered for a few weeks which meant a delay to deliveries apparently; i was a bit annoyed (at the situation, not at anyone of course) and so had to take off asap with an angry SWMBO so couldn't confirm all details. hopefully he'll update you soon to let peeps know.

 

[stux]

Okay, that makes sense.

The Fawcett's Marris otter was a hiccup and won't be in for a few weeks. This necessitated a rejigging of the order and we got it in on tuesday instead of Monday.

Monday would've meant thurs/Friday delivery. But Tuesday means Friday/mon/Tuesday

 

[Phoney]

Any updated on when the second pallet might be arriving?

Cheers

 

[stux]

Second pallet should arrive later this week

 

[stux]

First Pallet of grain just arrived

IIRC that's everyone up to and including pimpsqueak on my spreadsheet.

The grain can be picked up during absolute homebrew's regular hours, which are Tuesday to Saturday

But please try to pick up your grain ASAP. If there is going to be a substantial delay then contact pat directly

I'll be posting PMs with pickup credentials

So just to confirm - my order included Bairds MO, this is also on the first pallet?

I only ask because you'd mentioned earlier that Pat was going to do a full pallet of BB, then spread the rest over the subsequent orders.

[stux]

Anyway. When it comes in I'll post and update the thread

(grain comes from melbourne btw)

Thanks again for organising this Stux, appreciate your efforts in getting it over the line, no mean feat.

[Mobbee007]

Thanks again Stux,
Just went & grabbed my sack (that doesn't sound too good :blink: ) & found Pat to be an awesome & very knowledgeable bloke, dropped a few more $$ while I was in there having a yarn. Can't wait for the next buy!!
Cheers
