Been brewing for about 5 years, up until this point I plan a brew day, head down to the brew shop 45 minutes away, grab my ingredients and brew, I've recently taken on the task of harvesting my yeast and am thinking I'd like to start buying more grain in bulk, as well as hops. I like the idea of being able to brew on a whim and have some great grains, hops, and yeast to choose from... I think it will prove to be a cost savings too.
I live in Arizona, so it's pretty dry, and I'm thinking its best to store I crushed grain, so ill need a mill... Does it make sense to grab a 55 pound sack of 2 row, and then grab something like 5 pounds each of some of my favorite specialty grains? Stock up on a variety of hops? I'd assume that I crushed grain stays for quite a while, especially if sealed in buckets or something, any advice would be greatly appreciated!
