Where is your favorite place to buy grains? My "local HBS" is unpredictable at best with what they stock, when they have it and what it costs. I'm looking to buy several 55# sacks of grain with a brewing buddy and want to get the best dea lI can.
RichBrewer said:I've always ended buying them at the LHBS. When shipping costs are taken into account, it ends up being the best value. I get #55 sacks of 2 row then purchase the specialty grains as I need them.
If I remember correctly, I paid about $28.00 for a 55 pound bag and then 8.1% tax.ALPS said:Yeah,shipping costs do add up in a hurry.
What do you pay for for your 55 lbs of 2 row?

ALPS said:Malted barley is food and is not taxed. $28 is a good price though. Too bad Denver is about 1400 miles away, but it is a nice area to visit.
That's correct. I didn't get charged tax. I forgot about that.ALPS said:Malted barley is food and is not taxed. $28 is a good price though. Too bad Denver is about 1400 miles away, but it is a nice area to visit.

ALPS said:Yeah, I found them, too. I can get a pallet of up to 40 sacks (2200#!!) shipped for a flat rate of $90. Prices are really good, too, but I'd like to find some other brewers in the area to share the shipping with just to lower the cost even more.
