DC Group Buy #5

We received all of the bags except the c20 and the flaked wheat. Tracked down Derek and I should receive those two bags next Wednesday or so. I will load everything up early and head to town. See everyone in am.

How would we distribute those?
Unless someone lives close to you, it's hardly worth driving for.

What a great time meeting everyone and getting this done! Thanks so much to Bucksnort and IslandLizard for their efforts and organizing!

Stonebrewer if you want I can load yours up and drop it off at your house anytime next week. I thought about it this morning but I didn't want to drop by unannounced. Of course I still would like it if you wanted to come up and sample some.

Funnycreature just let me know when you're ready! I get off at 3pm so I could meet you in Gaithersburg if it would make it easier for you as well. Of course I still would like it if you wanted to come up and sample some.

Again awesome job everyone!

Thank you everyone! I was so happy to finally get grain on hand at the house! Bucksnort, just let me know when to meet up with your coworker for the other splits ;-) you did an amazing job and I thank you for getting this grain in! Next time we all meet up (I hope we can find another supplier for a next time) I promise to have some beer on hand. We keg most of our stuff and just started bottling recent so I don't really have anything ready to go yet. Hopefully next time we can do this at a house and we can all have a homebrew together!

Bigbeavk: I am not home until late Friday night, so if you don't mind holding on to it, I will arrange a time to come by next weekend and perhaps we can have a few samples and chat while I pick it up. Dead tired as this has been a very long week for me...next week could be worse. Can't wait to get back home!

Sounds like the buy finally got done. Thanks to all who helped out with this! I apologize for the way things went down, but it really was out of my hands. We'll try to get something going again in the coming weeks...

Happy brewing!

No problem at all. See you when you get a break.

Thanks to everyone for showing up in our narrow time slot, or arranging with other brewers to pick up the goodies. Also thanks to everyone bringing equipment, weighting, bagging, labeling, distributing, or just staying around to keep the morale at peak level. As expected, the DME showed her real character again and managed to leave a signature behind attesting to her sticky presence.

It was great meeting you all and wish we had more time to chat, exchange some home brew and shoot the breeze. Until next time...

Friday I rattled our suppliers cage again about the last 2 bags. He thought he could give me an update and tracking number then. I was standing there when he called it in the first time but the distributor did not ship. I will let everyone know what to expect when I hear something. Hopefully, we can turn the page on this order soon.

Thank you for staying on top of this issue. :rockin:

 

[bucksnort999]

I received a tracking number yesterday. The last two bags are due to arrive Monday.

Will update when I have them in hand.

Good news..... I received 2 bags of grain today......
Bad news... BSG strikes again and sent one bag wrong......

We now have the flaked wheat and a bag of C120 ( instead of C20). I will call Derek tomorrow and see if he will swap us..

JasonVT, I have your 2Row and will be in Herndon tomorrow.

Yikes! C120 is way off C20. Wish they could have messed up and done like C40 or C60 instead Hope it works out to swap.

 

[bucksnort999]

Derek ordered us a new bag of C20. Expect it early next week. I will weigh out the splits and then we can wrap this up. I will be out of town Tues and Wed. I will try to get it all pulled together ASAP.

Bucksnort, again, thank you so much for finishing this buy so elegantly. I'm not sure how and when to take possession of my share yet, let me think it over and see what options roll out or are being offered. Maybe we can have a communal brewday & meet. :rockin:

Brewing a small batch of experimental tonight from leftover wort, while the pumpkin ale is knocking away in the blow-off jug. I need to get that one finished before Christmas... this year!

Awesome! Thank you for all your hard work Will wait to hear what we decide on how to get this...or if it works out that your co-worker can still bring it to Stafford. Either way, thank you once again!!!

 

[bucksnort999]

I have received all of the grain and bagged up the splits. JNR, I have sent your info by PM. Stonebrewer will have everything else this afternoon.

Good luck and happy brewing.

So who gets what? I have a box of C20 and Flaked Wheat splits...I think they are for me, stevedasleeve, funnycreature, and maybe IslandLizard? PM me to setup a date/time to pickup.

Yeah, I think I was in one of them. I can stop by after work almost whenever.

 

[IslandLizard]

Yeah, I just heard from Bucksnort. My share of C20 and Flaked Wheat are in there too.

 

[stonebrewer]

OK well it is all in the garage nice and cool. How about picking up on Sunday or during the week? PM me to setup times.

Happy Holidays all!
