Finally got a chance to meander down to Powell's Malt in Braeside (10min drive). Had a good chat to Michael (son of Grant the original malster) about all things malt
They sell the basic range of malt to the public in 25kg bags (pils, ale, vienna, munich, wheat). Got myself an odd bag of pils 20kg for $32, which is roughly half the price I've been paying for JW malt (albeit crushed and in small quantities).
Fired up the insinkerator (thanks Arthur) for a test run. Not as nice as a true mill, but appears to do the job If anything the crush is too fine. Will do a small BIAB batch this weekend to check the efficiency.
The sack!
