I would pick up what is needed on your first batch, once you try it as written, start subbing to suit your tastes and normal stocking of grains.

Will do... I am going to start buying crystal and chocolate and some other grains a couple pounds at a clip and food saving them.

I love my vacuum packer, I use it for my bulk hops, and all but my base grains. I pick up most in 5 pound increments, vacuum pack them with extra bag for resealing and store in my brew closet in a couple storage bins, my base grain goes in vittle vaults that I picked up from costco, 24 dollars each and they hold a full sack of base malt.

The costco by my house got in a fresh shipment, it took some 'splainin to the wife why I bought 6 of them....

I brewed this up again on Tuesday eve, I used Gambrinus 2-row, some home toasted victory as described in the recipe. this batch puts my total at over 70 gallons. This current 10 gallon batch is going to be served at a friends pool party, and was requested by many repeat attendees.

When you get your batch finished, pour up a pint and post a pic so I can admire yet another pint o' mild!

Brewing tomorrow morning. Have you ever put this beer into a secondary for any reason? I May not have a free keg after 10 days. This will be my 1st brew in my grain mill ! I am thinking about a hand full of rice hulls just in case.
