Group grain buy Pittsburgh / Western PA

[bugman9317]

sleepy I will get everything emailed to you so you know exactly what everyone gets. Hopefully it won't be too hard to tell all the different bags apart. I have about 5 more payments to get and then I will call the order in. I would do it now, but I don't want stuck with a 1k of grain plus my order. I like to stock up but not that much. Just so everyone know, I talked to them yesterday and they told me once the order is placed it will be picked and shipped the same day and it is only a 2 day ship since its coming from Indiana.

Hermit - Thanks for the offer - however, it is difficult to say what time of the day it will be in - you could just be standing around here waiting. If you PM your cell number and e-mail, I can call you when it gets here, and if you want, you could help me separate/sort it.



My regular business hours are M-F 9-4:30. However, my house is only 2 miles away from my business, so I will try to accommodate everyone's pick-up schedule. I would say PLEASE do not try to pick these up the DAY they arrive, as who knows what time they will come in and it will take some time to sort. Give me til at least the next day. (Unless of course you are coming to help, Hermit.)

I am NOT collecting anyone's money for Bugman (other than mine and TomA's). So, make sure you pay him before you come and pick up.

Bugman - Can you send me a list of what everyone gets and that they have paid you? Just wanna protect you here.

I will advise and update this thread when the grain has arrived.

Grain is in and sorted. All looked to be in good shape. My forearms kinda look like Popeye's after moving 80+ bags around...

The pick up location is:

Shenango Steel Buildings, Inc.
33 Carbaugh Street
West Middlesex, PA 16159
Tel: 724 528 9925

Please E-mail me at (remove stars): *campbejb*@*yahoo.com*

To set up a pick-up time. NOTE that I usually only check my email at work, not after hours. Our regular business hours are M-F 9-4:30. However, I live about 2 miles away from my business, so I will try to accommodate requests outside of business hours. Please don't e-mail me at 8:00 PM and expect to pick it up that night. I have no problem e-mail my cell number to you guys after initial e-mail contact.

Hopefully all this grain will result in some great beer that is hangover free for everyone!!!

Big thanks to Bugman for setting this up!

[bugman9317]

Thanks everyone for being patient. Me and sleepy went through everything and all the orders are in stacks. Next time we do this everything will run a lot smoother..

I might have to make the trip Saturday as well. The wife wants to go to the Grove City Outlet mall so I'm sure this will be a good excuse to swing by and pick up some grain. Though it will probably cost me a Coach purse.

Hermit.....with the change of location I can just pick up direct at sleepy's place. Thanks for the offer, I sure would have needed you if the pick up was in Pittsburgh !!

Bigtoe......just wanted to be sure you still wanted me to pick up your bag and take to Cuyahoga Falls.

Logdrum....I'm picking up your two bags and our split.

I'm thinking about making the trip this afternoon or Thursday afternoon depending on how my work goes........

Thanks again bugman and sleepy for making this possible !!!!!!!!!!!

 

[sleepystevenson]

Sounds good, I will be here either day. BTW everyone - I edited my earlier post to include the phone number here at my office. (724 528 9925) PLEASE call before you leave to be sure someone will be here to help you. Ask for me - Brad. I just don't want anyone to drive a long way only to end up being late and missing us here or whatever!

Thanks everyone for being patient. Me and sleepy went through everything and all the orders are in stacks. Next time we do this everything will run a lot smoother..

Any idea when the next purchase will be? I just got a mill and had planned on buying a sack from my LHBS, but at 60 bucks for MO or 2-Row I might just hold out for the next group buy.

 

[bigtoe]

rattwo, yeah, if you are going to pick up the grain directly, I would greatly appreciate you hauling my bag to the Cuyahoga Falls area. Thanks! I'll PM you my email and we can set up a pick up time after you get it your way.

Thanks to everyone for making this happen!

 

[rattwo]

i'll get it bigtoe np......i got your pm, i'll email u when i have it back in cuy falls ( hope my little car can hold all this. lol )

 

[rattwo]

oh by the way......my current fee for a 110 mile trip with a 50LB bag of grain is 1 bottle of homebrew !!! ;-)

 

[bigtoe]

I think that can be accommodated.

 

[sleepystevenson]

You guys coming on Saturday - PLEASE email me, and I will email you my cell number, so you can call me when you are getting close to here and I will meet you at my shop.

 

[Jon_TWR]

Picked up my grain last night, thanks again sleepy and bugman!

 

[sleepystevenson]

RATTWO - Lemme know what day and time you will be coming. I have an appt this afternoon and will be leaving the office around 3:00. Tomorrow and Friday I will be here til 4:30.

 

[faithinchaos]

Huge thanks to bugman & sleepy. Jon, thanks for making the trip.

No more mini mashes. I just forced myself to build a mash tun!

 

[sleepystevenson]

Drizzle
Faith in Chaos
Scut Monkey

Everyone else has picked theirs up.

I am not rushing you guys, just an FYI.

Cool. I am looking forward to start using it. I brewed last weekend (a special bitter), but needed to use up some grain I had on hand before getting into the new stuff on the next brew.

Shoot, I thought I was subscribed to this. I sent you an email.

 

[sleepystevenson]

Big thanks to ScutMonkey for the Growler of stout and the bottles! It was really nice -my GF and I both really enjoyed it. It had a very dry stout-like flavor and finish.

Also, Scut Monkey and Drizzle - My buddy from the homebrew shop will be putting together a more in depth email about the Brew Grass Derby, May 7 in Hillsville, PA. I will send it out to you guys as soon as I get it. Hope to see you there! It is an AWESOME time.

Only ONE person left to pick up grain: FaithInChaos.
Sorry I couldn't meet you on Saturday afternoon. Let me know when you want to pick up.
