Malt in Suffolk

[Daveg]

Hi, guys
Anyone any idea if and where I can buy 25 kg sacks of malt in Suffolk or Norfolk?
I live about 5 miles from the Muntons factory and about 4 or 5 miles from the Norfolk border and I buy my malt from the Malt Miller in Swindon!
Now, I have no problem at all with this because as far as I'm concerned the service is second to non but I'm surrounded by fields of barley and have to order it from a squillion miles away. In these days of carbon footprints etc it'd make sense to buy it in local seeing as it's grown here.

Ok, obviously a daft question. Thanks

Hi,

Mauldens brewery in Sudbury offered me a 25kg sack of maris otter for £34.50 after I made an enquiry. As I can get for 30 quid delivered from Worcester hop shop I didn't bother!

Might be worth ringing round local breweries.

I'm sure Crisps Malting's are local, not sure if they will sell direct to a home brewer.

If you can get to Mayland in Essex, you can get a 25kg bag for £24 from Wibblers brewery.

They also do a nice selection of hops which are more than reasonable, and will give you some yeast free if you take suitable containers. I get most of my ingredients from there and have nothing but praise to say about them.
