Where to buy malt

Post by Theo » Mon Dec 31, 2012 12:36 pm

Hello to everyone and i wish you a very Happy New Year!
What i would like to ask is where can i find some relatively small quantity of Bairds malt and especially distiller's malt.
I know this is a beer forum but by what i have read here so far, i think that you are very knowledgable people and maybe you could direct me sucessfully!
Where do you buy your Bairds, Crisp or Simpsons malt and approxmately what's the price per kg? I suppose that distiller's malt price will not be that different to brewing malt.
For start i will need somethink like 50kg malt or 2x25kg bags.
Thanks a lot!

Brewers malt can be got from here, I'm not sure about Distillers malt as we don't distil on this forum as its illegal in the UK to do so at home. I assume its the same stuff though.

Worcester Hop Shop is also very good with keen prices. It comes crushed or uncrushed.

Forgot to say Worcester gives a 5% discount for JBK members. Search for the thread on here for details.

Sure it's different but not that in terms of price i suppose.

if you have a micro brewery near you they will probably sell you a couple of 25kg sacks, i asked 3 local brewerys and the want £20 per sack.
cheers Neil
