So after a few extract batches I'm ready to step up to all grain brewing. It seems the real savings are when you buy grains in bulk. I plan on buying a fifty pound sack of two row. Anyone in Oregon know the cheapest place to buy grain in bulk locally?
Specialty grains are 24 cents cheaper a pound from my LHBS if you buy 10+ pounds at a time. I'd like to minimize trips to the LHBS store with the price of gas. What specialty grains is it worth stocking up on and how best to store 10lbs at a time. Also how long does the grain store if stored properly?
Living in Oregon there are a lot of hops growing. A local supplier sells hops for only $2 an oz of very fresh hops. How long can hops last if vacum sealed and stored in a freezer?
Thanks
