There was a post some time ago about Amarillo hops and not being around or something like that, so I mentioned that brewcraft has never really ran out of stuff but I killed the thread I think. Anyway, they have a huge warehouse. They might sell to pro's too because they advertise 2000lb bags of grain.

Look for a group grain buy in your area.
Prices obviously will vary but to give you an idea the Denver group grain buy was able to get 50 lb sacks for ~$37.50 with shipping included in that price.

Yeah shipping kills the great online deals on grain sacks.
I get mine from either group buys or from my LHBS. $50 / sack of breiss 2 row isn't bad for a LHBS. IT's a lot more than I pay on group buys, but it also helps ensure I have a LHBS to go to

Buying local and establishing relations will be your best bet.
I love shopping online. It's fun to look at everything a site has. You can browse for hours and find everything you want. Both AHB and NB are on my Google Chrome top 8 sites visited. But nothing beats supporting your LHBS. I love little local stores for anything. If they don't have it, they will gladly order it for you. We need to keep these small local shops in business.
After 20 or so years of doing business with my local , I have a great relationship and get the best price anywhere. It's only because I have spent tons of money here and established trust and a friendship and knowing I will be back.

A 55# sack of 2 row is about 5 batches max.
