Where is the best place to buy bulk grains???
If you scroll down on the forum home page, you will find a sub topic titled "GROUP BUYS"
Depending on your location, if there is a group buy in your general area this is where you will find it.
Sometimes it means driving a decent distance to get to the pickup spot, but for around 60 cents / pound it is a considerable savings over the prices that LHBS charges. (Mine is 1.89/#)
Another alternative is to work out a deal with LHBS. Mine was willing to add my occasional order on to theirs and charge me 10% over cost. Pretty simple decision on their part, as they were getting the grain anyway and did not want to lose my business.
Your LHBS doesn't give better deals on bulk grain for everyone? The two LHBS's in my area charge around the $1.89 per pound for normal quantities but charge between $40 and $50 for a 50 to 55 lb bag of standard base grain (e.g., 2-Row Brewer's, Pilsner, and Munich malts).
How long do the grains stay fresh for in that sort of container? I've thought about getting bulk grains but I only brew every other month or so.
