LabelPeelers is owned by my LHBS (Abruzzos, see www.abruzzos.com). Matt is a real stand up guy, and is located only around 3mi away from LD Carlson. You will get great pricing buying in quantities like that. I couldn't feasibly store/use that much so I bought the 50lb bag from North Country Malt Supply. He doesn't have it in stock, but gets shipments every 2 days so it would be at the shop pretty quickly, however I wouldn't get it shipped! Shipping on something that large is over $300.00 on the website to my house and I'm only 15mi away!

Keep in mind also that that shipping quote was for less than 15mi away the store.

Taking storage time out of the equation. Is is cheaper to buy bulk DME then LME including the conversion for sugars. I know that lb for lb is different. But when you correct for this which one is cheaper?
LME is typically cheaper, 1 lb grain = .75 lb LME = .6 lb DME.

Great thread, thanks guys! I'm brewing today (simcoe's been on the boil for about 25 min now.) Did some surfing while watching the pot and just ordered 50lb Briess DME light from Country Malt Group . . . $2.37 a pound including the shipping to my door in Ohio. Brings the price of extract brewing down for sure!

Here you can get 176 lbs of DME for $292.01 coming out to $1.66 / lb
They also have 640 lbs for $814.05 coming out to $1.27 / lb!
Granted I have not tried to buy these so I don't know if they are really in stock but they are listed there! If I had a big enough place to store 176 lbs I would totally buy it. Instead I have been buying 50 lbs from North Country for $121 coming out to $2.42 / lb.
Wow -- great link! I would totally do this if I knew a few dedicated extract brewers who'd split with me -- they all think I'm nuts for getting 50# at a time even though I can get through it in 3-6 months easy. I'm sadly the most active extract brewer I know, as anyone more into it than me seems to have gone all grain.
Whatev, I can still crank out ~$0.30/12oz 5-6%abv ales and ~$0.60/12oz 9-10% belgian ales between hopsdirect, northcounrty malt, and culturing yeast from bottles! And sub-4hr set up to clean up brew days rule!
If you can burn thru extract that quickly, you can probably do the same with hops. Buy them by the pound and you can really save. I use Puterbaugh Farms' pellets:
