    DC Area Group Grain Buy #24

    OK, order is in so we're good for pickup this Saturday! I'll be there around 1000 or a little earlier and volunteers are appreciated. We can always use scales, bags, scoops, and buckets to weigh grains. I'll bring labels and some heavy-duty bags for PBW & DME. As always, feel free to bring...

    Nothing yet, hoping to get some info tomorrow and still planning for a pickup on the 16th

    DC Area Group Grain Buy #24

    My homebrew club participation has dropped off significantly, as well, and I think some of that is due to the general availability of good craft beers. It's the old saw horse of 'why make it yourself when you can just buy it' so people weigh time and money commitments against convenience. My...

    DC Area Group Grain Buy #24

    Just waiting on a couple of stragglers, based on the last two buys most people pay very promptly (thanks mostly everyone!). The unpaid are regulars so assume life overrules brewing, it happens. Already reached out to 3 Stars to get things moving and ensure there aren't any gotchas with the...

    DC Area Group Grain Buy #24

    Thanks to the brewers who have paid, looks like there may not be a memo section for your moniker so don't sweat it. It's a small buy this time and thanks to Peter we have a useful registration database I can use to correlate names and IDs. Still waiting on about half the group but started...

    DC Area Group Grain Buy #24

    Closing up shop, stacking the chairs and mopping the floors.. Ah, memories of the "good" old days. Buy will close in a couple of minutes, last chance to close that 60L or anything else you can't live without. Sláinte and g'night

    DC Area Group Grain Buy #24

    Going to kick the can for a few more hours but will wrap up this evening. I'll send out payment requests once the buy is closed and I encourage you to pay promptly. Last buy there were a couple of stragglers who held up the order and the sooner I get complete payment the sooner we can get the...

    Yes, I asked Peter to take a look. The amounts add up to a closed split but it re-opened for some reason. Experiencing technical difficulties, please stand by

    Iz, will clean that up and thanks for taking one (or two) for the team

    DC Area Group Grain Buy #24

    Exactly, I should have been more clear but hadn't had my coffee yet. 50# of oats remaining from a 55# sack isn't likely to close in the next few hours but the full remaining splits are: 1925C BRIESS 2-ROW CARAMEL 60L -- 15 OPEN 3200C FLAKED CORN -- 15 OPEN WEY1016 WEYERMANN VIENNA -- 25...

    Just a few open splits left if anyone is able to close them out: 1925C BRIESS 2-ROW CARAMEL 60L -- 15 avlb 3200C FLAKED CORN -- 15 avlb WEY1016 WEYERMANN VIENNA -- 25 avlb Will be locking the order later today, get your changes in while you can. Cheers

    Closed the PBW, here's what's realistically left: 1925C BRIESS 2-ROW CARAMEL 60L -- 15 avlb 3200C FLAKED CORN -- 15 avlb CRI1001 CRISP FINEST MARIS OTTER ALE -- 15 avlb WEY1016 WEYERMANN VIENNA -- 25 avlb

    DC Area Group Grain Buy #24

    Don't want to rush everyone but also don't want to slow walk this order in to December. I'd like to lock it tomorrow but realistically I'd say mid-day Friday is the cut-off. As a reminder, PayPal is the preferred payment method so please ensure you have an account set up in advance. Thanks!

    DC Area Group Grain Buy #24

    We'll start wrapping this one up, hopefully we can close a few of the splits before we lock the buy. Expect payment requests to go out this week/weekend and assuming enough of the order comes in then we're looking at Nov 16th as a pick-up date. Sorry for beating the drum but please arrange for...

    I might take some Maris, need to check my inventory and also what I plan to brew in the next few months. -- I took some Maris and 5# of flaked corn, I'm sure someone could use some Maris to get it closed.

    DC Area Group Grain Buy #24

    Sorry everyone, been swamped with work. Thanks to Peter for keeping the lights on and taking care of everything. Below are the current open splits, I would think we can close out the PBW and Crystal 60 but the others might be iffy. Since this buy has been open for so long it's probably best to...

    DC Area Group Grain Buy #24

    Thanks everyone for working on splits, hopefully we can close out a few more and get this order placed. For pickup, Nov 2nd is out as the brewery is hosting a wedding. I'm waiting to hear about other dates, 3 Stars suggested Sundays but unsure we want to change the routine.

    DC Area Group Grain Buy #24

    I'm back and will coordinate with 3 Stars on a good pickup date. Realistically, it will likely be an early-mid November pickup so accept my apologies in advance. For newcomers, once the order is finalized and placed with 3 Stars we give it 2-3 weeks to be fulfilled. This provides lead time for...

    DC Area Group Grain Buy #24

    Yay, we're finally picking up momentum! I'm heading off to Oktoberfest so will be in a beer tent for the next two weeks. Assuming I make it back/want to come back, I'll likely submit the order mid-October. Will see how the splits look but I'm thinking pickup on Oct 26th, how does that look for...

    DC Area Group Grain Buy #24

    I don't want to keep everyone waiting on the order to hit a pallet, or some magic number of sacks, but we are currently only at 7 full sacks. For comparison, the last buy was 49 sacks (a pallet is 40) with 19 brewers participating. 3 Stars will order whatever we ask, regardless of quantity, but...
