Tony,

Are they able to get Oat Malt? I might be interested in taking 30# if anyone else is interested.

Hey Mike, I've been looking for Oat Malt myself. Only few places stock it and shipping kills the deal, mostly.

I've found Ritebrew.com to be the best source so far, price and shipping wise, very doable for 20-30 pounds. I haven't ordered yet, it's been in my basket for a while, there's always other stuff I like to order with it.

Alternatively, I guess we could order a sack through Maryland Homebrew.

That said, I would be interested in it too if we can get it through here, I'll take the balance of 25#.
The only malster I found for Oat malt is Thomas Fawcett, not sure if our suppliers (BSG/LDC) deal with them.

Crisp and Simpson sell them too, under the name Malted Oats.
 
Latest status on the buy. We are about halfway to a close, which might mean between the holidays or after the new year, depending on how things go over the next week or three.

Hey guys - just joined; this will be my first buy. As a point of clarification, if a split is not fully claimed, is it still purchased and 3 Stars takes the rest for their HBS? Or are all split orders where all 55 lb are not fully claimed simply tossed?

Thanks!

If the split isn't fully claimed, it's not ordered. When we get close to the buy closing, there will be a push to get the splits that are close to get closed.
 
For your holiday shopping pleasure, here is where we stand as of a few minutes ago:

22 Full sacks
08 Closed sacks
30 Sacks taken -> goal is 40
22 Open Splits

Let's close a few more splits and get a couple of more full sacks and I think we order after the New Year. Need about 10 more sacks to close this puppy up. There are a few 5-10-15 lb splits below that should be low hanging fruit to close out. Happy Holidays to all!

Wow! There has been a flurry of activity and this buy can close anytime. Let me get through the holiday and I will start setting up a time to close the buy and arrange the pickup. I cannot do it before the 20th, so I am trying to get a date confirmed for the 20th or later. Once I know, I will start sending out emails. Here's where we stand on splits at the moment:

I'll probably close some splits once I figure out what I'll be brewing.
 
I'll probably close some splits once I figure out what I'll be brewing.

You could do that, or you could close a bunch of splits and figure out what to brew later. I mean, they’re called specialty malts. Making a beer with 100% specialty malt must mean that it’s really special.
 
Hey Tony - when is the next buy closing? Can you set me up and send me the link? I was last on Buy #18. I had to take about 6 months off brewing as I was busy finishing off my garage/brew area. Now it is fully insulated with heat and air conditioning, exhaust fan, floor drain, hot and cold running water, 40" TV, and all the wiring for my EBIAB system. Whew..... Back brewing now and need grain! Thx, Ed

Ed,

Sure thing! I just setup your account on the web site. You should have an email at the last email address I have for you. Use your HBT name to login and that temp pw in your email. Let Petar and I know if you have any issues getting in.

The buy is closing soon. Waiting to hear back on a date from 3 Stars, but planning tentatively for one SAT later in JAN (20th or later).

Welcome back!

Hey all - I just added a split of PBW to the buy and took the first 10 lbs. You all know you use it and need it and at $3.88 a lb, it's a huge discount over the homebrew supply stores - so jump on it and close the split! Cheers, Ed

I ponied up and added 5 more lb each to Crisp Amber, Brown, and Chocolate. The chocolate and the brown only need 5 more lb to close, and the amber needs 15. Let's finish those out!

Did the website change? I tried to log into the site from last year and got a page not found error. I'd like to get in on this buy if it's not too late.
 
Mike or anyone with 3 Stars ties...can you talk to Tim and ask him to answer my emails? Appreciate it! Wanna get this buy closed and rolling to the finish line.

Sorry, just saw this. Did you hear back from Tim yet?

Also, can you send the new site URL to my Gmail address? Pretty sure you have it. I just sent you a note.

Yeah I need access again. I plan to definitely get in on this buy, so I need a drop dead date of when I have to have everything ordered by.
 
Just so there is no confusion about a “new” url, the url has not changed in almost a year. If you have ordered within the last year, then it is the same url.

If you google dc area group grain buy, it should pop up on the first page.

If you have had an account, then you can reset your password from the main page.
 
Looks like we are closing this down THIS WEEKEND! So if you want in on the buy, get to the order page by FRI night! Let's close some more splits while you are at it. I will send a group email later in the week with details...

Looking forward to it! I was worried the pickup would be set for 2/3, and I’ve got a running race that morning.

Now - I’ll make my plea to get the smoked malt split ended. If you haven’t tried a rauchbier, it’s definitely unique. It’s worth making at least once!
