Ugh, just sayin those two words together makes me feel like my dad and uncles talking about corn and bean prices at the bar.
Anyhoo.
So everyone has been watching prices skyrocket. I'm checking inventory in my new space and noticed I have about 4 brews worth of 2-row on hand. Since I'm within next day shipping from NB, I've generally purchased from them. Plus free shipping (I realize the bag is more expensive itself, but adding in competitors shipping price and they still are lowest by far). But now a sack of grain from them is 80$, which is about 25 bucks higher than when I bought at the start of covid, and about 15 higher than last year. So im shopping around and am curious if anyone out there has an ideas? I have one "local" shop, but they are mostly for wine and beer kits and sorta frown on selling full bags of grain. MoreBeer is my other main source and I generally take advantage of 10# bags still shipping free, but thats for malts that I use only a few times a year (wheat, rye, Munich), and Ill end up paying more to get to 50-55# at the 10# bag price anyway.
Unfortunately, NB seems to be the cheapest that I can find unless someone out there has a better suggestion for me to check out? I feel like I have checked a lot of online stores, so perhaps it is a question asked in vain.
