I'll be out of town from 6/6 through the next weekend. I'll arrange something when we find out more info.

Buckets will be a little scarce this time since we move to a new facility. I'm hoping they will use some this week though. I've also asked the manager if they could save all the buckets for me so I don't have to keep checking the labs to find them. Hopefully they will collect them for me so I don't miss any.

I can pick up for you if the 7th is pickup day.

If the date moves to June 7, all who go to BAM or do judging that day will be delighted. :ban:

On the flip, side, the Homebrew Guild has their annual picnic at Patapsco Park from 12-6 on June 7. I intend to go there, so I prefer to get out of 3 Stars ASAP.

Either date, starting as early as possible is still best for most of us, I think.

The early bird catches the grain!
 
6/7 is not good for those home brewers up near Frederick. That is the day of 4th annual Brewfest at the Farm, a very nice local brew fest with music, beer, AND free homebrew samples!

Cheers,

Jim

it starts a noon, same as whatever the 5/31 event is... so no change there :)

looks like Brewfest goes on until 6:00 pm. considering how efficiently Fritz runs the splitting, you'll be back in Frederick before noon anyways!
 
Guys: We are RUNNING the festival on 6/7, not attending it - there is a big difference.... As much as I do not want to miss time at the BAM festival, pickup this Saturday is MUCH better.
 
I was under the impression that this was being bumped to the following weekend because the holiday may make it impossible to get delivery this weekend. I don't think we've just decided we like next week better.
 
Yes, an update would be great. It would nice to know so I will know if I can use next Saturday for welding up my new stand versus picking up grain (although picking up grain is fine, too).
 
All: I just heard from Tony via email and he asked me to post the following as he doesn't have access to HBT right now:

“The pickup will NOT be tomorrow as the grain did not come in. We have two current options, next Thursday night or next Sat. AM. If it is next Sat. Mike will not be around so it may not go as smoothly as it normally does.”

I assume everyone should start weighing in with your choice of date. I vote for Thursday night. Ed
 
Thanks for the heads up Ed.

It'd probably be best to have someone create a poll to make tallying the votes easier.

I'm voting for Saturday. I can't pick up in Tacoma Park on Thursday night because I'm out of town next week. I'll be back on Friday.
 
Traffic on Thursday evening (or any other weekday eve) is a major concern. So it largely depends on the time we plan to meet.

If 3 Stars' Mike isn't there on Saturday, we may not be able to get in early. Is that what you meant with "it won't go smoothly?"

I can pick up for guys in the Baltimore Area, but that is only useful if we can work out the logistics. No-one wants to drive out to my neck of the woods unless you want to go windsurfing and/or join in for a few brews. :D
