Brew_Meister said:Nice sack! Wait that didn't sound right.
I have sack envy I guess.
I just did my second AG and will be moving to bulk grains soon after I invest in a crusher. That price doesn't sound bad to me. You should be able to get about 5-6 brew out of that right?
Jester said:Awesome!!!
I'm going with bulk grain with my next brew. If you room for storage, then cost wise it's the best thing to do...

JimTheHick said:Now I just have to keep my sack clean, cool, and dry. And keep the bugs out of my sack. Does the cockroach have a cousin sackroach?
Brew_Meister said:Do this and it should keep the bugs away! Also make sure you watch where you are sticking it!
By the way where did you score that killer deal?
Brew_Meister said:So if I take care of my sack by keeping it cool, dry and keeping the bugs away how long until it goes bad? Maybe stale?
I know... Until I use it all.
But seriously how long would this last?
Cheers
runningweird said:nice banjo............ group buys are the way to go. I have 7 bags of grain coming to me in about a month or less from the MD/DC grain group buy. can't wait!

Once you go to sacks you'll never go back, first big 2 row sack (malteurop), and a nice fat sack of great western wheat malt....mmmmm
cciszew said:I bought 2 sacks of the same malt 2 weeks ago ($33 a bag as B&G had 15% off sale that day), i keep the grain in homedepo buckets ($4 with lid), they are air tight and stackable
Brew with it yet? I hear CMC is good stuff.
mobilecabinworks said:There is a LHBS here in Portland that you can buy a "virtual bag of grain". What you do is pay the going rate for a sack of grain and then they just record how much you buy until you have used up the 50 lbs. That way the "sack" is always fresh. Seems like a cool concept. Great if you don't have a lot of storage like me.

I pay 60 for a sack of grain... It sucks.
So 50 lbs fits into 2 buckets? Does anyone use anything different for airtight storage?I've never seen such a colorful sack as yours. The sacks I buy are in a plain brown paper sack with black lettering (Great Western Malting) I pay $50 for 50#. I store mine in two Home Depot "Homer" buckets.
