My price per pint just went through the floor

[fatnurse]

Just ordered my first big amount of all grain ingredients, based on a standard brew of 3kg pale malt, 100g hops, 500g of speciality grains and packet of yeast I'll be brewing at 16.5p a pint!!! Woohooo, sorry just had to tell people who understand

[Naich]

It's good isn't it? The only thing that worries me is being able to get through larger quantities of ingredients before they start going stale. I only get to brew up every 5 weeks on average, so I'm having to produce some fairly pokey beers to use up the stock. That's my excuse anyway

[fatnurse]

I'm brewing normally every 2 weeks at tho mo, but I've got a vacuum packer so I may split my grains out and pack them up into batches should keep them fresher that way I hope.....

[Normski]

Hi fatnurse

Yeah a lot better value than kits.
Grain will keep fresh for months if kept dry. I keep mine in plastic bags inside the sack inside an ols fermenting bucket with the lid firmly on. I've had grain keep for over 6 months with no problem.
I dont think you need to vac pac it.

[ncmcdonald]

I have a bag sealer and re-seal the grain bags after opening. I have used grains over 6 months old without any issues to be honest. I know it's not ideal but when you have a kilo of black malt and only use a tiny amount in a batch, it can't be avoided.

I used crush grains I kept in my garage in the original sack for close to a year and it made one of my best beers to date

[fatnurse]

Sweet!

The packer seals only as well, so I guess i'll just use that......just waiting for my shipment now.....its in transit, COME ON!

[techtone]

I had 7 brews (40 pints each or slightly more) out of a £60 order delivered. I was left with 2.5kg of grain and about 400grams of hops. All strong beers too! Inflation, what inflation

[Dennis King]

Funny I don`t even think of the price these days, I love my beer and I love brewing, even if there was no major saving I would still carry on.

[fatnurse]

Fair dues Dennis...however I've been brewing for about 3 months.....so I've gone from paying £5+ for 4 beers to 66p!
Though my reasons for starting were not to save money.....it certainly helps hehe

[fatnurse]

I've been AG brewing for over twenty years now and I still get exited when a big, beautiful sack of malt lands on the doorstep! I've even been known to give the sack a little cuddle!
