Any Canadians??

[bradsul]

Are you sure that wasn't 25KG? That's a comparable price for that amount but definitely not 25lbs. I just picked up a 25KG sack of Vienna and a 25KG sack of Munich II from Gilbertson Page for only $50/ea. They're just up in Fergus so if you buy in bulk it would make the trip worthwhile. If you email them they will send you price lists.

My HBS sells sacks of 2 row for about $45.

Those prices seem more reasonable Brad
Just did a google map trip lookup to Gibertson from St Catharines....~125 KM / 1hr 45 minutes one way using shortest route

I might have to double check the price / weight with United Canadian Malt one more time. Fingers your quoting for 25 KG or ~ 50 lb sacks as well?

Cheers eh

Ya I keep forgetting that St Catharines is a pretty big round-trip from Guelph compared to from Oakville which is where I used to do it from.

I don't know about this years pricing yet but last year grain from Gambrinus in Armstrong, BC was in the low $20's for most of their grain. (25KG).

Those prices are about the same with Canada Malting here in Calgary last year. But the latest price list has risen from last year by nearly 50%. Still a great bargain, but not as good as last year.

 

[Rudeboy]

I zipped out to Alix and got sacks of Two-Row from Rahr for $25 a piece right from the malting factory. Of coarse I was down in Ponoka on business anyway.

Going out to the Okanagan in July and I'm really thinking of driving just so I can load up at Gambrinus.

Hey FlyGuy what's Canada Malting like? Aren't they right in Calgary?

 

[FlyGuy]

Yes, Canada Malting is pretty good. Their malting facility is right in Calgary, but their warehouse is near Red Deer. Regardless, they will sell sacks of grain to homebrewers if they have them in stock. I believe a sack of 2-row is $26. They also sell a variety of specialty grains and malts at prices between $30 and $40. Great way to save a buck!

Northern alberta here! Raised in Courtenay, Vancouver island. We need more homebrew shops in canada! Funny how we live in one of the largest cereal producing nations and I have to order grains from the US!

Wow, this is an old thread, but you might as well add me to the list. I'm from vancouver but live in Yellowknife right now.

It's really hard to get supplies up here, but I just got into this hobby and I'm loving it. I went down to vancouver for a wedding and brought a 34 lb jug of extract back with me (it took up a whole suitcase) along with other ingredients from Dan's.

I can carry a conversation still, but my vocab is limited these days...

 

[hfxer]

It might be obvious but I'm from Halifax.
I found this very old thread by searching for the word "canada".

I was specifically looking for shops in Canada that might carry some of the stuff my local guys don't carry or never heard of.

It's kinda funny how this thread hung up in Nov. of 05 and then this year started back up.
