Best place for grain.

Hi all. Where do you buy your grain from (online)? Not bought grain for a while. Cheers

Malt Miller or BrewUK

Depends how much you need and how often you need it?
If you use quite a bit then there's a semi regular group buy run by one of the members here. @Obadiah Boondoggle seems to be the organiser.
If you only need smaller amounts then you could use one of the online retailers custom grain kit builders. I've used Geterbrewed a few times. The cost of a kilo is the same regardless if you buy 1kg or 25kg

Cheers Tom

Thanks, Tom, for the post

We do actually do some 3kg bags of the more popular malts

This is our website

https://southcheshire.co.uk/store/index.php?route=product/category&path=66
It's run by forum members as a collective - no profit, just pooling demand and buying in bulk for cheaper malt

Thanks, Tom, for the post

If I brewed more often I'd have a dabble myself

Cheers Tom

I used to put everything I wanted in the basket of a few online suppliers and buy the cheapest. Recently I contacted a local brewery, Leigh on Sea Brewery, to ask if they would be able to provide me with grain, hops etc and they were very accommodating so I just give them a call now a few days in advance and they get it ready for me to collect from their taproom.

That sounds perfect to me - and you are supporting local businesses

I would encourage more people to do so

Thats great benfleet, my local brewery that i have been going to for the past 10 years, with probably 15+ friends, told me they sold some great beer in their shop but was unable to help me with any grain....ouch.

If you brew often and live within 30 min drive of OB you are blessed.
Online you wont go far wrong with malt miller, darkrock brewing, or home brew company.Geterbrewed is awesome for bulk hops and recipe grain kits.
