Saw on the web page that the tentative pickup date is August 12th. That's also the date for 3 Stars 5th Anniversary bash, which starts at noon for "VIP tickets" and at 1:00 PM for non VIP. It seems likely the grain pickup will be a different date.
 
Closed a couple of splits, added a bunch of splits, accidentally added a 2-row split (gotta stop ordering after a few homebrews).

Welcome back Tony!

OK folks, I think I am caught up! I created a ton of accounts, so let me know if I missed anyone. Jet lag is still kicking my butt pretty hard, but I think I got the site caught up. Cheers!

Any idea on the plan for closing and new tentative pickup date?

Short answer is "No. It depends on you guys."

Longer answer is " We are at 22 sacks closed as of this writing. I added about 6 new accounts yesterday, so if they start ordering it should pick up. Right now we have 24 splits, of which 3 are closed. So if those 21 open splits close, I would proceed with the order. Or if we get about 10 more full sacks and about half the splits close, I would proceed as well. To make it worth the effort, we generally target a minimum of about 40-50 sacks. My complete and total WAG is that we will get to a decent enough amount by the end of this month based on the new folks and people starting to close splits. If either of those peter out, it could be SEPT or even OCT, but likely close at the end of AUG with pickup a few weeks into SEPT. Sorry I don't have a definitive answer but most of the variables are out of my control."

+6 sacks closed yesterday, so we are at 28. I have some travel coming up next month, so it would be best if we could close this out sooner or it may have to wait a week or two on me. Dunno yet, but am encouraged it is picking up a bit.

Mike - let me check with them on exact costs/varieties and I will add the premilled to the selection on the site. Still a little jet lagged but should be able to get to this tonight or tomorrow. Cheers!
 
Toasted wheat: I will ask.
Milled grains: I will ask.

Apologies for the cone of silence. Really swamped at work and home...first time I have logged into HBT in like 2 weeks! Doh!!

I think we are at the point we can order, so if you want to close out some splits, now is the time to do so!!

Any chance a forum newbie can get in on this? I'm just outside the beltway in Virginia.
 
I've placed an order. The carafoam split is closed out and we're a little closer on the PBW split. Thanks!
 
OK, I think we are going to close this down FRI at midnight. Please start sending in your payment...an email will go out tonight with details.

This is the current state of splits:

With the possible exception of PBW, I don't hold a lot of hope that any of the other 25# plus splits will close in the next week...not saying it won't but people will really have to finish strong to make that happen.

Tentatively looking at SEPT 16 for the pickup...
