Who is best for 25kg malt orders? Either within Liverpool / Manchester or decent shipping costs

[Berry454]

Looking to order a couple of 25kg bags of (crushed) malt and just wondering who is the beer right now for this?

Nearly ordered from Bigger Jugs until I noticed on checkout that they want £36 for shipping. To be fair that is next day shipping but their standard postage isn’t exactly better at £118.

Open to paying delivery on it providing it’s not extortionate and more than happy to collect if anyone knows of any suppliers within the Manchester or Liverpool area.

A lot of places have a free delivery threshold. Can you nudge the order up to that size, or does the weight of the grain mean it's excluded from that offer

Yeah i don’t believe they offer this unfortunately. Do you by any chance know any shops that do provide a free delivery threshold on grain orders? honestly I would buy 5 25kg bags just to get the free shipping. I have a 15 keg draft setup and a lot of storage for brewing in my garage so happy to buy big occasionally.

From what I can see The Malt Miller will do free DHL shipping for orders over £100 with no weight restriction.
Put over £100 worth of malt in your cart and see what it calculates for the shipping

I ordered recently from the homebrewcompany following a recent post on here.

Another vote for these!

I order a 25kg bag and a selection or caramel and roast malts when they have their 10% sales on.

You pay postage, but the whole cost is always very competitive

I'm not far from Liverpool, would be up for adding a 25kg bag in to your order (maybe 2) if you are up for it?

Yeah I would be up for this mate what shop would you want to order from?

Wouldn’t really be worth it from the homebrewcompany because once you are on the £7.99 postage (per 25kg bag) they basically end up being the same cost as most home brew shops. The £28/25kg sacks are not actually a sale when you add £7.99 to each bag in postage.

If you have anyone in mind please do let me know!

The malt miller is an option but at £38 I do feel like a shop somewhere must be able to do a little better!

Splitting feathers homebrew is only in Bolton and they do 25kg for £35.. Works out similar to the malt miller in all honesty.

On the search for any local breweries now that would be open to selling. Will let you know if I find any.
