Whole grain available - interest in purchasing lot?

[cruiscinlan]

Hello all,

I was unsure where to put this so mods please put it where you'd like.  I've found a job lot of whole grain at a significant reduction,

30 x 25kg whole pale malt maris otter blend
13 x 25kg whole wheat munich malt   
9 x 25kg whole crystal malt

Price would be under half that of retail.  Story is was delivered in error to a farmer instead of brewers grain and he wants rid of it, he's based in Co. Cork.

I'm happy to drive down and pick it up, but I'd need a van to do so and a club member with said van and who would lend a hand.  Is anyone interested?

Why did the farmer need a ton of brewer's grain?
What part of co cork. One of us rebels could store it for a few days from purchase to collection if there's a rush.

I'll take a bag of marris otter. start a provisional list?

I don't need malt but I can act as a rendezvous if required.

Just bumped a link onto the NCB site. I know a few "productive" brewers are again looking for grains.

As an aside; What are the criteria for successful long term storage of malted WHOLE grains?

[mr hoppy]

13 x 25kg whole wheat munich malt   

I'm curious what this is. Is it munich malt or wheat malt?

[hopapotamus]

[johnrm]

Brewers grain is what farmers call the mash or waste grain that is left after brewing and is sold to them as feed. As to why he needed a ton of it, he may have a large herd, I don't know more than that. I have asked for photos of the bags to identify producers. As far as I know he has the grain no longer than 2 months. He's based in Glanmire, Co. Cork

Also lads, I know I'm new here, I'm getting into homebrewing all grain myself, but fully admit that no more than anyone here without going there and checking it out I can't make any statement of fact on the stuff itself. Beag nó mór.  I'll upload photos if I get them. 

Would an interested Cork member take the trek out to Glanmire?  If other capital i.e. Dublin or surrounding area members were interested I could get quotes for pallet collection from Cork to Dublin. 

At the price its offered at it would be a shame to let it go.

Actually, I'd take 2 bags of MO.

I would take 2 bags of MO.
I wouldn't mind some crystal but would only want about 5kg, if people wanted to split.

Barry I could get your grain as far as Dundalk, if that would be any help.
