Hi Tassie Grain Brewers,
As you know BBY is closing and since they supply 25kg bags of grain to home brewers, here in Hobart and to other parts of the state, we are looking at losing the supply of base grains.
I'm planning a grain bulk buy for some time around March, and I would like to see if there is enough interest to make it worthwhile.
We can do it through Ross but we would need a minimum 20 bags and freight would add around $10 to each bag. I have made contact with another supplier and don't need to order a minimum of 20 but will still need to order enough to reduce the proportional freight cost.
I estimate that we would only need around 15+ bags ordered to make it cost effective. As an idea of the price please take a look at Ross's Prices. Add ~$12 to the "minimum 20" sack price and you will be close to the mark.
Of course with more bags it becomes a bit cheaper.
Another catch is that this supplier doesn't supply Barret-Burston malts, they have Joe White instead at around the same price as Ross has for Baret-Burston. They do have Bairds and Weyermann though (I can supply more info on the grains available just let me know).
Please indicate how many bags and which malts you would be interested in.
I personally would be in for around 4 bags; W. Pils, W.BoPils, W.Vienna, JW.Pils. This would get me through a years worth of brewing.
Also for you non-Tasmanian brewers, any donations to the "Grains for Tassie Home Brewers Appeal" can be made to me .
Cheers,
Petr
