Okay I'm doing something wrong. I spend way more than most. I run between $6-8.50/six pack. I don't buy in bulk and that doesn't count the $14 in gas I use to get to the LHBS. I hate to change direction but where do I start buying in bulk. I live in metro Atlanta. I'm all ears since I could be brewing twice as much with what I'm spending.
Thanks,
Nick
Brewmasters Warehouse is in Marietta depending on where you are in Metro Hotlanta that is not a far shoot up 75. They unfortunately can not ship to Georgia addresses, but I'd bet they would allow in store pickups, maybe they have a brick and mortar.
Really Bulk wise you really only need to buy base grains at least at first, a bag or two of 2-row and maybe a bag of wheat. 10 pounds of whatever specialty grains you always use makes sence also. You can store them in 5 gallon buckets, rubbermaid tote etc. pretty much anything air tight.
Biggest cost is a grain mill, but a roller can be used to start, or find a cheap corana mill on e-bay.
I spend about 30 bucks as I buy local and have not started buying bulk yet. Of course if you figure in recent equipment cost I'm probably at $150 a batch....
