Friends: 16 of 26 people have paid. I am afraid that I cannot keep doing this if people cannot follow directions and pay on time. I was out of town at my mother's and her internet was down, so I came home just now to process the order and we are too short for me to proceed. This happens every single order and it is getting old. I will send an email out and those that send payment by 8PM I will try to process your order. It is probably too late for 3 Stars to do so at this point, so you have potentially screwed over others by not following directions. Stephen you can get in if you pay by 8PM tonight.
So is the date of the 21st still on?
 
Looks like I have to work Saturday can someone pick up for me? I live in Crofton and work in Burtonsville.
 
I have emailed 3 stars a few times and NO replies. Not looking good, but this is not new. I will try to call the brewery during the week and catch our buyer to see what is going on. Sigh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No problem man! We all appreciate you!
 
I just saw an email from the buyer. He said our order was "languishing" which I took to me not ordered yet. Sorry for the churn but I think this weekend is definitely out of the question based on that and we are a few weeks out. I will let you know when I hear more and apologize for the delays...I am pursuing other avenues for future buys as this is frustrating me as much as, I am sure, it is you. Cheers all and look here and email for update!

All I just heard from 3 Stars about an hour ago. Only the order from LD Carlson came in. The stuff from BSG did not. We will push the pickup until next weekend, assuming that comes in. Frustrated by the lack of communications, but this is the world we live in when we try to get cheap grain, sigh! I will send out an email as well...

Thanks a lot for handling tony. You are the man. My grain supply is really weak and feeble right now... one might say it appears to be languishing.....
 
Thanks for all the coordinating, Tony. Unfortunately, I'm taking my family camping next weekend and won't be able to join the pickup. Is anyone in the Howard County/Baltimore City area that could grab my one sack at the buy? I can pick up the sometime the next week.
 
I will be out of town 7/28, could someone grab my grains as well? I think I only had a couple of specialty things. I live in the Silver Spring area. Thanks!
 
Just a little bump since I'll be leaving with the family tomorrow morning for camping through this weekend. Can anyone pick up my sack this Saturday and hold it for a few days? I can pick up at your place on a schedule convenient to you.
 
Thanks Tony, sorry this buy was such a PITA. I am shuttling visitors (all under legal drinking age) around DC this weekend so will only be able to grab and go, wish I could help and share a few pints :(
 
ALL: Please post here if you can help with splits or the like. Please post what you will bring as well. As usual, we need about 6 people, with 3 scales and buckets that fit on the scale and can hold around 10# of grain. We need plastic bags to put the malt into. Scoops are always nice to have. I don't have labels made but will try to get that done tonight (unless someone wants to volunteer to do it!).

The buyer is not going to be there so if things go south, not sure we will be able to correct quickly. Mike is going to be in the shop though, so we have a friend there that can help communicate back with the buyer if needed.

Please get there at 10AM to sort and split. Please be sure to have stopped by no later than about noon to pickup. We can bring in homebrew, but keep it to a bottle or two as we don't want issues or anyone getting in trouble driving, etc.

Please show love to 3 Stars, buys some cans, and hit the HBS for yeast or hops or whatever.

See ya'll in the morning!
Tony
 
Sorry guys I’m in fairfax so not sure you would want to come pick up?

Any port in a storm I suppose. If no one closer to Baltimore steps forward on the day of the pickup, I would greatly appreciate you grabbing my one sack. I can probably pick it up an evening next week if that works. This will probably be the last time I have access to the internet until Sunday. Thanks everyone.
