Buying grain locally

[Leon103]

Go into Beeriff down the marina and ask there. Whilst you are there you could pick up a few takeaways

What a brilliant idea to go and ask the local micro breweries.... my local home brew shop wants £49 for a 25kg sack, not likely!

Hi Leon103 I most certainly will thank you. I'm always up for trying new beers.

I found maris otter cheaper from Worcester Hop Shop with delivery than my local. Their website has recently gone to hell, though. It's a shambles and like a plan to make them go bust on purpose.

I usually use the Worcester Hop Shop, too, and the website is indeed incredibly unfriendly to use now. So much so, that it must discourage buyers.

The Homebrew Company look very competitive for 25kg delivered, have a big range, and you get 5% forum discount (or at least you used to).

You still get discount on purchasing but doesn't apply to delivery though from what I've seen across online sites they are the most competitive pricewise as your allowed up to 30kg and they do have a great customer service.My choice of supplier.

I pay about £40 for Weyermann malt. No issues paying it as I feel its a better product for what I enjoy brewing, which is mostly German Pils, Helles and Kolsch.

Fair enough. Like most things you get what you pay for. At the end of the day it really works out to be only pennies on the pint for the different prices were all paying for a 25kg sack. I think though that at heart EVERY HBer is by circumstance or design a tight git

Have to be I'm afraid.... every bill has increased this year but there is/was no increase in my income. The £49 sack of grain I mentioned earlier was only for pale malt.

That's a bit steep.

Hi Tommos,

I was working in Llansamlett until recently and quite a few guy’s said how friendly Boss Brewing are, very broadly opposite Tesco’s near Eurocarparts, so it may be worth calling in with a friendly smile!

Top insider/local info!

Was told my local brewery to bare them in mind when sourcing grain and hops. I'm assuming it's because they'd do it cheaper rather than trying to turn a tiny profit.

Is that the speyside brewery?

Indeed it is.

Was going to say your local micro brewery too, and take some of your beer along as well, it helps grease the wheels of industry and they can give valuable feedback
