Hello, got a quick question, I just called the facility near me (in illinois) and they don't sell to homebrewers anymore, do you have any insight as to why they stopped? I've been searching all over the place to find some decent prices on grains but everybody around here is charging $2 a pound. Just talked with a local micro-brewery that might be able to sell some, but a place like this would be a great resource (especially since it's only 30-45 minutes away from my house). Thanks

I'm pretty sure it has to do with logistics. Too much trouble and not enough money to stack a pallet with 14 different kinds of grain and keep track of inventory. That's just my guess though.

My guess is that they got pressure from some of the large Homebrew stores.

Yes, sorry the pallet is full.

Hey guys,
What are you storing your grains in? I've seen threads on trash cans and and Home Depot pails with lids.
What do you use? Any recommendations from personal experience?

 

[sowellbrew]

Thanks consider me in the next time for 4-5 bags

 

[blkandrust]

I store my grains in their original bag inside a plastic tote with a lid..works well.

 

[chutracheese]

thx for responding.
What kind of plastic tote?

I use the larger zip lock bags from lowes, one of the smaller ones holds 50lbs no problem and the bigger one just gives you some head space. I use the plastic bins from target with snap lock lids. They are sturdy and stack. At the cost of around 12 dollars.

I looked into airtight plastic barrels but the cost difference was considerable so i went this way. The ziplock bags are fairly air tight and the locking lids do pretty well. I have never had an issue.

[nootay]

im gonna throw my name on the thread so im notified of the 4th grain buy. i missed this one!

 

[thomashp]

i'm down for the 4th as well. I can't believe I missed this!

 

[prodigal_son7]

Hey all you Richmond guys/girls out there... according to Matt the grain should get here today. I will be heading up on Wednesday to pick up my grain and whoever from around RVA wants me to pick up for them. We can then work out arrangements when I get back with the grain. Just remind/respond to on here and I'll grab it on wednesday.

Cheers

 

[ameliabrewery]

Hey prodigal, please grab my 2 bags of 2row. PM me your address in Richmond.

Thanks
ameliabrewery

 

[mb2696]

It's here!

 

[sensibull]

I picked mine up today prodigal, so I'm good, but thanks again for offering. And thanks to matt for organizing this. That was a nice stack of grain in your living room. The thought occurred to me to knock out your roommates and make off with the whole lot ;-o

 

[VABeerSnob]

Aaaaaaagh! I can't believe I missed this one! I'm just now finishing up the stuff I bought last year. Oh, well.

BTW, for storage I use Rubbermaid Roughneck 14-gallon totes. I buy them at WalMart. 55 pounds of grain fits perfectly.

 

[prodigal_son7]

Ok guys I'm going today to pick up. I'm currently picking for ameliabrew & brewspook. Anyone else, last call?

 

[mb2696]

All picked up! Thanks everyone for a smooth group buy.

For those interested in the next group buy, I will bump this thread when I start another one. It will probably be at least six months before then though.
