How Much do you pay for grain and hops??

[luckyeddie]

Never bought hops there - just bulk malts in the 25 kilo sacks and some sugars. I did find them extremely helpful when I was involved in setting up before my first-ever AG and was 'a bit lost', and of course they are only 15-20 minutes drive away so if I have an emergency shortage of something, they are very handy.

My first load of grain was a bulk buy, where if you spent over £60 the delivery was free. Now I buy my grain from my local shop, Edina homebrew in Edinburgh. As a member of Scottish Craft Brewers I pay them £25.50 for 25kg of my choice of a range of malts made up however I want, and I can pick them up from the shop a few kilos at a time whenever it suits, so once a week or so I take a lunchtime walk from work and get 4 or 5 kilos to carry home with me :mrgreen:

That weekly trip almost makes work worth coming into :lol:
