I fully expected it. I always get shafted on the great craigslist finds, so this gives me a small feeling of redemption. Its all ****e luck. I was able to piggyback an order with a local brewery. They gave me their cost on everything! As I told the brewmaster, I almost feel guilty taking him up on the offer!

If you do this again, let me know! I'd gladly drive up to you in order to get those prices.

Well I just got done bagging/bucketing my bulk grain order. The dust created from dumping a sack of 2row into buckets damn near choked me.
+1 to whoever recommended homer buckets from Home Depot. I picked up 4 with lids and the total was right around 15 bucks. As stated, two buckets will hold a 50lb sack of grain. The specialty grains I just bagged into large ziplock bags (about 5lb a piece) and am storing the whole kit'n'kabootle in my basement (it stays a dry 60-65 degrees down there thanks to mr pellet stove)
Now the only thing left to do is brew! *sets his eyes on saturday*

That's amazing!
How long will grains keep like that? I was thinking about doing a bulk grain buy and was curious how long they woudl stay... assuming you seal 'em up really tight like you're doing and keep them in a decent spot?
