I'll defer the swimsuit questions unless they have to do with females'.
So far we have 5 or 6 tables on count. That should be enough. Plus there's one table at the brewery we've been using.
We do need shopping bags though...

I talked to Mike via email and he said our second shipment did not come in THUR but he did say the truck has been coming in late on FRI. No status since then...I think the worst case is that it will come in next week...which would be a b-e-o-t-c-h for us to deal with. Keep fingers crossed that all made it today. I probably have 20 pounds of light Munich and Vienna so if the sacks don't show and you were planning a brew day soon, let me know and I can bring some with me tomorrow.

I really hope so... I would have just picked up another bag of Optic when there today if I knew the M.O. wasn't there...
That said, I am keeping fingers crossed and hoping the beer Gods shine down on us all.
If the bags for this aren't there tomorrow, how are we gonna do this? I work in DC, so it isn't an issue for me, per se. However, others may not be as flexible...
I may just pick up another sack of Optic while there tomorrow, after all. I think they had 5 or 6 left after I picked up some.

Tony,
I've got about 9 pounds of Light Munich committed to the next two week's brews. If my grain doesn't show tomorrow I'll be paying LHBS prices.
If you can help me out, it would be greatly appreciated.

Rob: I will toss the sack of Light Munich in the truck just in case...
Think I have a few bags of other people's grain...will try to locate and toss those in the truck too in case they show up.
See you guys in the AM!

Hey all, I don't know if anybody's going to respond this soon before the pick up, but I ordered Maris otter in the original shipment. Did that make it in? Sounds like yes. I guess I'll find out in a few hours.
From what I understand the Crisp MO made it from the beginning. It was their GlenEagles MO that was back ordered.
Labels are printed, car is ready to load, see you there!

Yes thanks sorry I was not there, thanks for the help.
Smoothest operation yet. Tony, thanks for hooking me up with 9 lbs of your light Munich. Once mine comes in you'll get it replaced.

That was a super smooth experience. Glad to have been part of it. Looking forward to when the Munich and Vienna get in but I think 175ish lbs of grain should hold me over for a while

Great samples today, too!
Many thanks to BigBeavK for the buckets, too. Very helpful!

Thanks to everyone that helped out...you guys blew through those splits in record time!
Look here over the next couple of days for news on the Vienna, Munich, and Pils. Reddskinnfan has volunteered to schlep it over to my place once it comes in. You are welcome to stop by in Rockville, or we can try to arrange a meet someplace as Mike works downtown and has agreed to meet up with folks, and I am in Bethesda. I was supposed to fly up to RI tomorrow but that flight was cancelled so I suspect I may be home most if not all week...
If you haven't tried 3 Stars Madness, you should!
Cheers!

I can also meet anyone in Frederick or Germantown area...
P.S. I got a Growler of Madness and a bottle. Wonderful beer!
Thanks to everyone making this buy another success! It was great to see such good team work and a whole bunch of excellent beers brought to the table for all of us to sample and have some brew conversation too. 5 stars for 3 Stars for accommodating us in such a gracious way.
Alas, we were 13 sacks short, which is a big nuisance, but beyond our or 3 Stars' control. I strongly feel a 3 week lead time (instead of 2) may increase our chances on more complete delivery since we piggy back on 3 Stars' other orders. The time before this, in November, 3 Stars actually received our order late that Friday before we picked up. That's way too close for comfort.
Onto the next...

After thinking about this last night, this is a great idea and should help. It also gives us more time to deal with 'shortage' problems.

For the price, you can't just shrug it off. I got two and CaptainAl got one.

Speaking as someone whose sack just barely missed showing up, I'd have no problem with an extra week of lead time
Im off to TX on friday, I cant forsee any free time for a trip from Waldorf to the north side of the Beltway between then and now. Is there any way anyone would buy my 20 lbs of light Munich and Vienna off me?

Was it 20# each or 20# total? Don't have access to sheets right now to check.
Yeah, I've been thinking about you since those sacks didn't arrive.
I'm pretty sure someone will want them. So please, help Eric out by buying some or all of those 40# of his leftover grain.
They can be picked up after an arrangement with Tony or waited for until the next buy/pickup.
Please post the transaction details in this thread, so we can adjust and correct the splits sheet and moneys paid/due. In 2 months I doubt anyone will remember who gets what exactly.
If no-one steps up, I'll add them to the splits list for next buy (#12). You'll get your refund one way or another, it just may take until the next buy.

To easily see which splits and sacks are still "pending" I have them clearly marked in the #11 spreadsheet.

20# each!
Let me check my Vienna stock. I'm supposed to get some of the Munich already.

IMPORTANT UPDATE:
Just talked to Mike @ 3 Stars. All the grain that was missing from the buy last week came in as expected today. All 13 sacks are accounted for. Now we need to figure out how to get it to you. I have the following suggestions:
FULL SACKS
* If it is more convenient for you to pick it up at 3 Stars, we can make that arrangement, but obviously need to know that soon!
* Otherwise, Mike (reddskinnfan) has agreed to pick it up and drop it off at my house in Rockville, near Shady Grove metro. You can arrange to pick up directly with me via email.
* If you work downtown, Mike would be willing to bring it in to work (the Hill) and meet up with you.
* If you work near Bethesda, I can bring it in to work and meet you there.
* Lastly, if none of these work then I guess I can bring it to the next group buy or make other arrangements.
SPLITS
* I think we are going to have to do these at my place or have people arrange to split sacks.
* Mike is willing to bring splits into the city and I am willing to bring them in to Bethesda
* We can always default to bringing them to the next buy as well.
3 Stars is going to be closed tomorrow, so the earliest Mike can pick up would be WED and I am not going to be available until SUN at the earliest.
Welcome any thoughts or ideas...
