Default CT brewers - where do you buy bulk grain? Group buy?

Last time, I bought a 55# bag of 2-row from the LHBS, but I'd like to get a better deal than that. Anyone doing group buys in CT?

Thanks

I've never done one, but I'd be in for sure.

Good questions all. Maybe Poobah can point the way while I engage in some research.

I have to dig out the paperwork but it's like $35-$40 a bag from North Country Malt.

If you guys can move some grain to the eastern part of the state, it appears 1 or 2 of you are, I'd be interested even though I'm in RI.
