do you know the pick-up date yet?
OP

Should be the 11th of FEB, but I have not gotten confirmation from the buyer yet. I think he is on vacation...
OP

Got a strange email from the buyer at 3 Stars the other night...said someone else was buying the grain for us as he is out of town (which I knew), so I sent the other guy an email and he had no idea he was buying for us. SOOOOOO what does that mean, I dunno. I sent him the list to buy and hopefully he will this SUN for next SAT pickup. May mean we do not get everything. Less than happy right now...

Stonebrewer, you must have extraordinary patience! Thanks for all your work and for dealing with all this mess. It can't be fun, but we really appreciate it.
Man this is frustrating. I planned my buy around a heavy February brewing schedule and by the time we get it, two of those brew days will be in the past, maybe more. Hopefully they'll get their act together.
Tony, thanks a lot for dealing with all this. I'll be sure to bring a bunch of treats to the buy to ease the pain. I can't wait to see this website also!

Let me know if the 11th holds true. If so, I can be there to help and see everyone (and bring labels).

on the assumption that this buy actually happens, it has been brought to my attention by the powers that be (AKA the missus) that i have committed to way too much oats given current timelines. as in, i probably don't need any.
if anyone missed out on oats and would like to take some of mine off my hands (at cost), please let me know. i've got 15 pounds in this buy but don't really need any, anymore.

I'll take them. I want to use them in a few brews coming up.
awesome, thanks for helping you. i'll PM you with further details... if you paypal me, we can ask stonebrewer to re-assign the oats to you.
payment received, thank you!
@stonebrewer - on the spreadsheet, please transfer my 15 pounds of hops to Wgoose1.
heya group buyers - i'm about to post this on the DC Homebrewers FB page, but thought i'd give y'all a little head-start in case there is any interest here:
i'm moving in a few months so i need to empty the brewery of ingredients (grains and hops) and some equipment ASAP. please see the spreadsheet below for available inventory. add your name to the "Claimed by" column and make payment to reserve your picks.
- this stuff has to go ASAP. ideally, please pick up tonight (saturday) after 5:00, or sunday before 3:00. everything must be gone by next weekend.
- i reserve the right to charge less, give you more, and/or give you some homebrew
- there is some free stuff for the taking with any purchase, such as buckets, bottles, etc.
- i'm near rockville metro (viers mill & norbeck/1st St.). during the work week i can meet up at Farragut North & White House areas.
THANKS!

Any idea if the buy is on for the 11th?
OP
OP
Yes! I got an email from Mike yesterday and he thinks the order went in and that all grain was in stock. Proof will be later this week when the pallet arrives. I am hoping he emails me then so I know ahead of time. I will send a group email out tonight to remind folks to show up SAT morning.
Remember we need help:
- Plastic Bags to load your splits into!
- A couple of good scales that can do at least 10 pounds
- Labels - last time we made do with tape and a sharpee but that blew chunks
- Optional - a homebrew or two (don't get carried away!)
- 6 to 8 folks to come early and help with splits

I'm getting pulled out of town due to family stuff and won't be able to make the pickup Saturday morning. Is there a kind soul out there that would be able to hang on to my grain for a couple of days in exchange for some beer?

I'd be happy to, but I'm in Silver Spring. If nobody closer volunteers let me know.

Anyone have any storage buckets or 3 gall kegs
I didn't get this email, and my order is still showing as unpaid (paid 1/17). Does this mean the grain wasn't ordered and I should stay home Saturday?

I'm willing to help with the splits.
I can bring some bags, but we'll need lots more. I couldn't get any buckets this time.
Scales are the limiting factor. The more scales we have the more teams we can have doing the splits.
Scoops, or any things that work as scoops, are very useful, and so is some kind of blade for opening the sacks.

As I mentioned to Tony, I should be able to get there around 10:15 to help out. I'll bring a scale and whatever bags I can scrounge up. I try to find scoops, too.

Tony - will try to get there around 10 - 10:30 and will bring my scale and bags

Rob: No - I believe it was ordered. I will double check.
All: We have been told to not arrive before 12. I will send another email tonight if I have time and remember.

This might really throw a monkey wrench in it for me....
as a positive, it means we can buy growlers after the splits are all done

I hear ya! I talked to Mike today and he was apologetic and assured us that he would try to get things ready for us, but it is what it is. Half the grain is in and the other half should arrive tomorrow. I will know tomorrow night if anything is missing.
As luck would have it, it turns out to be better for me. My wife will be home by then and I don't have to find someone to watch the kids. So I'll be there around noon (w/scale and bags) and will help out as much as I can.
I would have felt really guilty not being able to help much given the fact that I opened about 10 splits.
