New to the area, looking to buy a couple sacks of grain on the cheap. Are there any groups in the area? I participated in a couple of Philly ones before and they were great! The LHBS prices here for grains are high.
ABS in Raleigh offers full bags of 2 row for $39.50. I went in last weekend and they had German Pilsner malt for $39.50 too. Amazing offer compared to most online places that offer it for $55-85. I mentioned to the clerk that the price was dirt cheap, and he responded with a puzzled look and said "Well, that's the goal." It's tough for me to track down a group buy when ABS offers it for so cheap.
I'm halfway between Charlotte and Raleigh, so it isn't that bad of a drive for me. But it might be worthwhile to get a few orders together and someone make the drive to Raleigh. Still saving a good chunk of change.

I paid 47 bucks for my last sack of Rahr from AB and its 55 lb. Jess (the owner) will try to price match other places as well. My favorite homebrew shop for sure. Been buying stuff from AB since 1990s. One of the orginals and still going strong.
It looks like a new shop is opening up in Concord, inside of Commoners Brewery. It's called Brewers Depot. It sounds like it might have potential. A sack of local grain (Carolina Malt House) is $50. At Alternative Beverage, it's $67. I'll check it out in a couple weeks and see how it is.
SameAny update on this? It would be great to be able to at least get close to the price I get on morebeer locally.
Sign me up if anyone figures out a bulk grain buy.
