I live just outside of San Antonio Texas and we’re down to one LHBS. They’re a decent shop, but when it comes to grain, I’ve had two bags of grain with bugs in them.
The first time it was the barley and the bugs were alive and crawling around.
The second time (today) it was in a bag of oats and the bugs were dead.
I have to assume this happens from time to time, but I’m frustrated and have lost faith in this shop’s fresh ingredients. I’m not sure if they still do, but before they moved they used to store their grain in plastic storage tubs (like what you use for Christmas decorations).
I still order a bulk of my ingredients from homebrewsupply.com who typically overnight orders to me since I’m close, but sometimes I’m going to need to go to this local shop.
I wish I had more options...
