My LHBS sells bulk LME if you fill your own container. I wouldn't want to buy more LME than for one batch at a time (5-7 gallons), but at $2.69/lb. (vs ~$12 for a 3.3 lb Briess container, or $14 for 3 lbs DME) I could save several dollars per batch.
A couple questions for those of you who have done it...
Would a standard 64 oz growler work as a container? How many pounds of LME would that hold?
How should I go about sanitizing the container before I get it to the store? Just soak it in starsan?
What are the risks, and how long would it keep?
