I have started keeping a bunch of ingredients on hand so that I can take advantage of free shipping over $100 on orders and not have to plan brews weeks in advance. Since I do mostly 1 gallon batches I can stock half a pound of each specialty malt (which costs a dollar or so) plus big bags of my favourite base malts and make up recipes on the fly. I have 20 or 30 small bags of malts at the moment plus 6 hop types in the freezer and 4 different yeasts in the fridge. I'm really loving it so far, and this lets me brew a wide range of styles.
How useful is the Beersmith inventory feature for tracking how much grain / hops are left? All my recipes go through Beersmith. At the moment it's not a huge hardship to look through the malt bucket at reorder time, but if people are getting good success with the Beersmith inventory then maybe I should give that a try.
Just interested to hear how people manage their inventory.
