Cheapest shipping for bulk grains

[MaryB]

What vendor has the cheapest shipping on bulk grains? Or should I plan a 250 mile round trip to the nearest brew store?

I would have to say MoreBeer because if you buy in 10lb increments it's free shipping over $59, but it depends on where you are. For me the shipping for whole sacks from Williams Brewing is just a bit cheaper.

I usually buy my bulk sacks when a vendor has a 15-20% off sale online. Really helps with the shipping costs evening out the total price.

That trip is going to cost you about $150 on gas and wear and tear on your car, so online is going to be a no brainer.

I compare prices at Morebeer and Homebrewsupply. Good luck with both vendors.

Are these even in business anymore. The site shows nothing available.

For me (zip code) from morebeer.

50lb sack GW 2-row shipped - $61

5 - 10lb bags GW 2-row $56, I just add something I need for the free shipping.

Since they are the same company as RebelBrewer.com, Rebel may be handling their stuff now.

nahhh Tank of gas, wear and tear? I barely put on 3k miles a year now so it won't matter much... considering I am stocking up and dropping $00 on 50 pound sacks... plus some specialty grains in amounts for a few of my favorite beers. Yeast and hops ship $7.99 from NB so that I can handle. Grains keep a year when stored right.

With those prices it puts them all on a par with Northern Brewer + shipping so I may as well make the drive...

WOW... Guess my LHBS price of 53.09+ tax is a decent deal after all! I've been trying to find a better deal on 50# bags of 2 Row Pale Malt. Short of getting in on a bulk buy or something, sounds like I should look no further!
