Grains by the ounce
|
|
I wish more homebrew shops would let you buy exact amounts the way brewmasters warehouse does. I am trying to find somewhere that does for some grains that aren't as easy to find, so many places want to do a pound or 8 ounces minimum. Its nice to throw a recipe into brew builder when they have all you need.

I had, on the few I checked, the fractional amount offered was 8 oz. Was that because I only checked base grains?

Yup online orders. Plus I brew small batches sometimes, so a minimum buy of 8 ounces of grain really changes a 2.5 gallon beer, where as with a 5 gallon it wouldn't be as bad if you had the extra few ounces.

I'm curious what you're buying that Brewmaster's Warehouse doesn't have.

Some specialty malts, mostly english malts for making milds. I know he has things that are close subs, I dont want close subs.
Also Mild Malt itself.
Huge fan of BMW, my local shop. Just wish others has sites as convenient.

Rebelbrewer does specialties by the ounce. I'm just curious though, why not put up enough grain to do several batches so you have stock to brew whenever you feel like it? It's really nice having 80 lbs of base malt from a group buy hanging out in my basement and 50 lbs or so of various other things so when I feel like doing it, it can be done instead of waiting for the mail man and paying shipping for every batch.

I buy some bulk grains by the sack, in fact 3 different types. Not everything is needed by the sack.
Pale
Pilsen
2-row
Rebel also only sells the Mild grains they have by the pound.
Also just to add, I live in Atlanta home to Brewmasters as well as a few other great homebrew shops, and even 2 beer stores that sell homebrew supplies. Unless it is something out of the ordinary, I never have to wait on the mailman or drive more than 5-15 miles depending on the homebrew shop I want to end up at. We are pretty spoiled in Atlanta.
