I'm always asked at the homebrew store what recipe I'm making when I check out. The first couple times I was asked, I was very puzzled, but then I realized that most folks buy just for the batch rather than having stock on hand, kinda like going to the grocery store and buying ingredients for supper. Maybe I'm a bit of an excessive-ist, but I've always liked having enough materials on hand to wake up and say, "I'm gonna brew a tripel today" or "I'm gonna brew a FBS clone".
Anyways, I have about 50 lbs of base malt (40 GP, 10 Pils), 30 lbs of wheat, and about 20 lbs combined of various caramel, roasted, and adjunct malts (standouts are Gambrinus Honey, Flaked Oats, Special B, Roasted Barley, Victory, Cara 120, Midnight Wheat). I bought a chest freezer to store hops and it's full, probably about 25-30 lbs of hops (leaf and pellet). Biggest standouts in volume are Citra, Ekuanot, Warrior, Target, and Bravo. Quite a bit of liquid and dry yeasts in the fridge as well, mostly S-04 however. I try to brew at least once a month, usually more often though.
I'm sure I'm not the only dude with some product hanging around itching to be used.
