Anyone have the golden ticket for bulk base malts around the area? Our little handful of brewers would love to save a few more bucks if its possible. Primarily Maris Otter, German/Belgian Pilsner and Wheat. I don't mind supporting local places for specialty grains, but i'm thinking there must be options on bags of base malts.
I stopped into a fairly large brew pub and supply shop in San Diego the other day hearing rumor they sell bulk. They will sell generic 2-row at $40/bag. The kid said that they don't use much else in their beers because "the public can't taste a difference so why would we pay more". That cracked me up. Their regular retail grain and supplies pricing were quite high compared to the Inland Empire.
