Melbourne: Grain Bulk Buy September 2013

[syl]

Hi would love to join in but no mill. Does anyone know if G&G would run it through their mill

They would because they are very obliging. But I feel it's a little rude since they are already letting us use the space for the split.

We can bring in a mill to do it for you, but you will lose freshness if you aren't going to use it quickly!

Best option: Join in the mill BB also on this forum and start reaping the benefits!!!!

 

[fortmonty]

Could you vacuum seal crushed malted grain in say 2 kg lots and store in fridge ?

 

[syl]

Don't store in a fridge, store in airtight tubs. People say they've kept it for 12 months fine, but people also say you need to chill your wort immediately.

GET A GRAIN MILL

I don't mind bringing my mill in. I am simply suggesting that a mill would make more sense to be done on demand.

Thanks for the advice. I've been thinking about getting a grain mill looks like that might be the best way to go.

I would recommend getting the grain and get cracking on the next mill bulk buy (which are a permanent feature!)

I just got one so I could participate in the bulk buy. The economics alone are worth it. Cuts the cost of your malts by half or more. Means I can brew twice as often, not to mention brewing with fresh-cracked grain.

Howdy Syl,

When you have a moment it looks like my Wey Boh Pilsner x1 hasn't yet made it onto the spreadsheet.

Cheers.

 

[syl]

I bought the grain bill individually for the first time this weekend because I am impatient and I nearly ******* choked when I got the receipt :/ $60 dollars for one 75L batch of Smurto's!!! After the bulk buy that batch costs closer to $20!

Mill pays for itself in a few months.

Whoops.... added!

[syl]

4 to 6 months, nothing set in stone.

 

[RobjF]

Thanks syl will more than Likley join in before this one runs its coarse anyway. Just wondering how many to get and how long till the next one comes round.
