Per a suggestion on the board (I love this forum!!) I went out and bought Brewing Classic Styles and went through and earmarked all of the beers I wanted to brew to see what sort of grains would make sense to purchase in bulk.
My two biggest grains that I calculated needing were 51 pounds of pilsner malt and 48 pounds of British pale malt. My LHBS sells Weyermann Pilsner in 55 lb sacks and I have had good luck with it in the past. Will Weyermann Pilsner be ok for a wide range of beers that aren't necessarily German? Any brand suggestions for British malt?
PS...I really like the Brewing Classic Styles book. It made me put some beers on my brewing list that I probably wouldn't have normally.
