Since I recently got into all grain brewing and realized it was a lot cheaper to buy bulk grains and mill them myself, I've slowly started adding on to my bulk base malts with specialty grains when there are online sales. Started with a bag of Rahr 2-Row and Marris Otter and have since added 4-5 lb. here and there of caramels 10-60 , carapils, Vienna, etc.
My next goal is to start getting some Pilsner malt and different wheats and such.
1. My question is how many different grains do YOU keep on hand on average?
2. How much (weight) of those grains do you usually like to keep on hand at once?
3. Do you buy/store less common grains by the pound or by the bag? Or do you just buy them recipe to recipe?
As a newer all grain brewer who is brewing about once every 2 weeks at the least, this will give me some ideas on what is most efficient since I don't really know yet.
