NCB Hop and Malt Buy

[ColmR]

12 out of 13 are ready to go. When I hear from the last straggler I'll send on details to y'all to arrange payment.

But I still haven't settled on a delivery point. So far the suggestions have been generous and I appreciate everybody's kindness, but I'm not sure how ideally suited they are as a drop off point for 30 bags of malt. So we have:

• a garage in Meath, which is ideal, but possibly a bit too far away
• a front room in the North County. Good location, but imagine the mess and the hassle!
• a friend's shop. Possible inconvenience to someone not directly involved in the buy

Still taking suggestions. Remember this is your precious malt and hops...

Colm, even if we'll have to collect them from Meath, I can take few extra bags and store them in Swords for a day or two.
Heard same thing from Will. However still think that garage location would be perfect as we'll have to cut&repack our hop bales.
From what I've heard wouldn't recommend doing that in a kitchen or living room

Some fine logic there. Do we have a garage further south?

The hops are only a tiny part of the shipment (4% of the entire weight). So they can always be taken after to a site to do the division.

As Jacob said - I am happy to arrive and help with moving and sorting of the grain:

You need a fairly large area to set out the different sacks, then "pick them" into the individuals peoples orders. For this you need space. ColMacs garage so far is the only place that ticks the boxes.

I will then take away the Renault full for the Malahide lads. Tends to store well in the car and acts as a marvellous air freshner.

Big Plus: No self respecting Irish Rodent would be seen dead in a Renault!

So when we have all paid and ordered we can split up the collection and distribution of the sub-lots.


The hops are a different matter. For that you need a clean space plus tables and chairs. Its again about splitting, sorting and packing, labelling and picking the orders. Its only 6 bales!

I will check but I am sure we could use the rugby club as a packing station. We have plenty of Fridge space for the few days and then cold meet up on Saturday afternoon for a packing session! I have a nice room in mind.

Also have a massive freezer for any long term storage!

Payment details sent to you all via PM.

Colin's garage does look like the best bet alright. Hope he's ok with it

Confirmed re. the hops.

We can set up and re-pack in the rugby club whenever it suits us!

I can pick-up and store hops until we meet up

[ColMack]

Yeah, should be ok. I'll work something out for meeting the delivery.

[BrianC]

Pallet arrived at lunchtime today.  It's all safely stored in the garage now.  30 bags of malt and 5 boxes of hops.
One bag of wheat malt was damaged and is short 5 - 10Kg.  Noted on the delivery docket.
I know how you like pictures so here are a few.  Hopefully they attach ok.
I'll be around one of the days this weekend for collecting, she hasn't told me which one yet.

[Jacob]

Holy shit!!! All delivered within 3 days from the order
