I was looking for a sticky and didn't see one...perhaps I should spend more effort searching rather than posting, but I'm lazy on this Friday.
I'm partaking in a group buy with a couple of buddies, and was wondering what people's takes were regarding what are the most common grains they use/like to have around in general to fit most basic brews/styles?
I'm probably aiming to still spot order for a lot of our brews, but it'd be nice to have some grains on hand to a) supplement brews (it seems with the 70s% efficiency of a cooler LMT setup + batch sparge, the easiest way to avoid a watery/less abv-ey beer is bump up the grain bill a tad) and b) maybe brew a batch with on-hand inventory every once in a while, depending as little as possible on the expensive LHBS options here. So, along with domestic 2-row, what would you guys/gals recommend as staple grains?
