Sorry for the late post, but is anyone interested in buying a few more bags of grain? I have some 2Row and Marris Otter from the last buy that I'm not going to use, as well as some other splits.
Will post details soon, I'll sell $5 under "face" value (from this buy).
I'll be down at the buy picking up a bucket of PBW, so we can exchange there.
Thanks!

Just an FYI the store is in the Boston Metro but not located in Cambridge. I am sure that you can figure it out from there.
So this guy was pissed off because he felt these grain buys were taking away business from him.....think he failed to realize that most of us still may have used his business for specialty grains, hops, yeast (those things we typically don't purchase in bulk). I think it would be fair to say now that none of us will be purchasing anything from him.
In any event......thanks Donovan for keeping these going as long as you did. Glad I had a chance to participate and meet some great folks along the way (and taste some great Down The Road Brews )

He can't name them for his own account's sake.
There are only really 3 in the area. It's not the one in Cambridge, and it's not the one North of the city.
Given that info, i think you can figure it out. Don't call and complain, that will just give Donovan a potential headache with his supplier. Simply don't support them any longer.

Not sure if it's worth persuing but Valley Malt sells bulk grains at around $1.04/lb (2-Row) with a minimum order of 500 lbs.
That's significantly higher than CMG was selling it for. I guess another option would be to set up a new account with CMG and/or to not publicly mention who owns that account.
Either way, it's pretty pathetic that that LHBS felt the need to complain. Definitely lost me as a customer as well.
Unfortunately homebrewers (unless commercial brewers or homebrew shop owners) cannot open an account at CMG any longer, AFAIK.
