With the wacky weather plowing through the country I wouldn't expect grain prices going down. Maybe before harvest time it'll be better. Lots of factors affecting our brewing ingredients.That is my LHBS as well, I've been going to him for the past 3 years to buy grains in bulk but found lately that his 50 lb 2-row sacks are more expensive than morebeer. I'm hoping his costs come down but probably unlikely with the economy.. I'd prefer to support him over the big online guys.
