The Yeast Bay bulk buy - now with more additives

[fattox]

No worries. I'll go through tonight and remove pull outs.

I spoke to Hoppy days and he doesn't seem to be interested in taking on the bulk buy so the plans and timelines will remain as previously decided.

Cheers
Fattox

We're still in for this.

Reminder that the cut-off for orders is midnight 19/3.

We'll be putting in the order for shipment via DHL on 24/3 & can expect delivery the following Mon/Tues.

After that, we just have to have the $'s in place & syndicated/individual shipping addresses to get the beasties out to where they need to be ASAP. This is where fattox & I need to coordinate to make sure we've got everyone covered.

In the meantime, your precious babies will be kept in the fridge until just before they're picked-up by the couriers. You have my word on this.

[barls]

are they being shipped with ice packs?

 

[fattox]

I would assume so Barls but I won't speak for Martin here.

I will be going through the orders now with those who've pulled out to update totals

Hi All,

I am going to have to pull out of this bulk buy now.

I found out this week I am heading to the states for work end of March and I will purchase what I need + bootleg biology yeast as well while I'm there.

Thanks for the offer tho.

Cheers

If you and I can sort something out with a bootleg biology kit that would be sick. Send me a pm?

 

[Beersuit]

Thanks for going to all the effort getting this off the ground Fattox. Can you arrange to get all the Toowoomba orders rolled into one to save freight.

 

[Clever Brewing Bloke]

are they being shipped with ice packs?

ABSOLUTELY!!!!

 

[NeilArge]

Any idea what the cost would be for a couple of vials to northern NSW? If it's going to be pretty exxy I might ask the good folk of Toowoomba to hold them for me...

 

[fattox]

I'll wait for Martin to reply, otherwise you can piggyback in on me and Beersuit's order - it'll be going straight to Toowoomba home brew so there will be icy cold storage on arrival!

Thanks very much for the kind offer! Always looking for an excuse to come that way...

Depending on where in Nth NSW, we'll send your stuff by air. We'll always send stuff by the most cost-effective route. If it means delayed delivery (specifically for liquid yeasts), we choose to send by air at no extra charge to the punter.

I'll guess at $15 for a 2-day delivery to a remote(ish) area. If you're in a major area, it's generally next-day from when we send it.

Ice packs are a given, no matter where it goes.

Thanks for the response. I'm in Armidale if that helps?

OK Gents, cut-off was at midnight, so we'll shortly be placing the order for these babies to coincide with our regular Whitelabs order.

Since we have no absolute guarantee that we'll get what we order (even Whitelabs sometimes doesn't do it), we'll wait until we've received the shipment & go from there with payment details.

Please make sure you've specified where you want your vials shipped (ie. individual or collective order in a particular city/area) so we can divvie-up the shipping costs as required.

Watch this space for updates as they occur.

Cheers,

Martin

As far as I can see no East Melbourne folks put their hand up for me to collect their yeast. Is that in fact true?

 

[MartinOC]

Maybe they don't trust you after that last torrid incident involving white powders, a .357 Magnum & a darkened carpark....? h34r:

Maybe fattox can help with this one?

 

[Mardoo]

Listen, it wasn't MY magnum.

Order all confirmed. Only important things to note:

1) The TYB House Sour Blend strain isn't available on commercial orders. We attempted to add it anyway, but they took it off. We also ordered 7 standard vials of it, but TYB also removed them from the order, so it looks like they don't have any. So these 7 vials aren't coming.

2) WLP672 Lactobacillus Brevis is a White Labs only strain and has to be ordered through White Labs and not Yeast Bay. We've put in a request to White Labs to add this to our order, so it's now in the hands of the yeast gods as to whether they will actually get added when packed.

The other 120 vials are all confirmed and paid for.

Edit: Edited to add clarity to the Sour Blend situation.

 

[fattox]

Just updated my address so it will come with Beersuit's

 

[Clever Brewing Bloke]

Your lovely Beasties are on the way. Expected delivery tomorrow

Once we know what we've got in-hand, we'll contact everyone to confirm orders/numbers & provide payment/shipping details.

Like I said before, there's no absolute guarantees of getting what everyone wants (which is why we didn't do pre-payment & avoid disappointment).

Fattox, I hope you've got all the delivery addresses bit sorted-out already...?

In the meantime, after a brief journey from California (1st-class with valet parking, limousines with Police escort, groupies & a phenomenal alcohol rider etc.) all your babies will be kept tucked-up in a nice cool fridge until just before they make their final transfer to you.
