CML

[user 4749]

Unfortunately CML have stopped supplying All Grain Recipe Kits not sure if its a short or long term . This is a pity as they were very Good value, obviously taking the company down different route concentrating on Hops and Yeast .

Yeah they were very good, i did quite a few a sad day if they have stopped doing them

 

[Agentgonzo]

I wonder whether that's anything to do with the cost of shipping. Hops/yeast are light and cheap to ship. I can imagine shipping 5kg of malt is a lot more expensive.
It's a shame. BrewUK folded earlier this year, meaning there are fewer places selling grain, so fewer options for us customers.

I would willingly pay for postage if that is the case, those kits are top notch

I have a 5L Batch of CML Rye IPA in the fermenter. Should be nice from the aroma so far.
If CML still deal with small orders I'll certainly place orders.

They're out of stock of pretty much all base malt so that would explain the unavailability of the kits. Hopefully a blip.

I hope it is a blip as I have a couple of AG small batch recipes in mind that they do, they seem very good value and lots of info on the site.

Unfortunately it is not a blip .I messaged CML , they are concentrating on Yeast and Hops ,they don't have the resources at the min to deal with Malt and Kits and it will probably stay that way in the future .

There are still a couple of places that ship all grain to your recipe that you enter but obviously you need to enter the recipe.

Oh dear. Thats a shame. Hope they leave their recipe sheets online.

Arrrrghh!
They became my go to after the demise of BrewUK for AG kits.
I'll still use them for hops and yeast though.
Worcester Hop Shop have a great range of AG kits but after contacting them about shipping it just is too cost prohibitive for me.

 

[evil.soup]

I have just recently found a local whole foods shop that sells a variety of brewing kit and ingredients, including AG, in small quantities at least. It may be worth me going in there one day to see if they can order in specific ingredients for me, they seemed very helpful when I was in there last.

This really is a shame though.

I found BrewCo quite well priced, but strangely no Pilsner malt.

They call it lager malt

I had started to buy my malt in bulk . So will still use CML for Hops and Yeast as their service is excellent as are the prices.
Think I may take a trip to Crafty Maltsters as their Pale Malt is still £27.50 for 25kg never used it so don't know what its like though but at that price worth a punt.

Is that the same though? A lot of suppliers have lager and pilsner malts listed.

 

[GhostDoggyWoofWoof]

Dark Rock seem cheap for malt. eg 5KG Weyerman Pilsner is £12

I've always assumed they are the same (or at least I've never been able to notice any difference - but then I've never done a side-by-side comparison). They are definitely close enough for my needs, if not the same. It sounds like the difference may just be a different name depending on where it is grown, which would account for difference in price (transportation cost)

From all accounts from people on here who have used it, it is very good
