Revvy, For work, i'm literally across the boarder in canada at the blue water bridge at the holiday inn, sarnia. There is one nice thing about canada, at their LCBO's they sell specialty beers per the can or bottle, of course a little pricey. I have gotten back across the boarder and been...

On the phone I had it confirmed $98 for a 50 lb bag of briess DME when I asked... I called north country malt (the 518 number). Thanks for the grain storing info that's good to hear! :rockin:

yea actually I was just on the phone with them earlier, they only sell briess DME. FYI they also sell the specialty grains on the catalog in as little as 1 lb bags, and crushed too if you're like me and don't have a grain mill. Anybody ever use crushed grains after being stored for a while...
