Find the Best Deal on Sacks of Malt – Tips, Tricks & Sources + Maris Otter DEAL Ends Tonight
Grains by the lb can generally be had for a reasonable price. They also generally qualify for free and flat rate shipping when a retailer offers that. The same is true for sacks of grain. The real issue comes when you add on shipping. 50 or 55 lbs of grain is… heavy. Shipping charges can add up.
Limited Time Deal on Maris Otter (ends 3/27)…
William’s Brewing has 55 sacks of Maris Otter Malt on sale for $63.99. Valid 3/27/24 only while supplies last.
An Illustration of the Problem:
An unnamed online homebrew shop ran a grain sale. Discounting sacks of grain.
- A bag of a certain brand of two row malt was marked down to $48.44… Great, that’s a good price!
- To slowest/cheapest available shipping option was…. $71.22 to my address and… I’m in the same region as this shop.
- That’s a total of $119.66. That’s not good, in fact it’s bad. That’s almost double the (current, can change quickly) price of one option I outline in this article.
- We can do a lot better.
- This article offerings tips, tricks and sources to help you source bulk malt at the best price.
