= Bulk Grain Deal!

This coupon works with sacks of grain and makes a sack of Briess 2 Row just $41.64. Shipping on sacks of grain is calculated based on your location.

OR…. Depending on Shipping Costs…

When you purchase 6+ 5lb bags of the same grain MoreBeer will apply a volume discount. You can see this discount on each product page. Here is an example:

Malt Deal at MoreBeer! – choose 6 more 5lb bags of grain to see volume discounts

10 x 5 lb bags of Briess 2 Row is $76.50 with the 6+ bag discount. Use coupon ode BIGBREW2024 and they drop to… $65.03.  That includes shipping to many US addresses!

For comparison, the 50 lb bag is selling for $41.64 with the discount but sacks don’t quality for free shipping. Calculated shipping (for me, this will vary) is $38.80 or a total of $80.44 shipped. That’s well above $65.03. Note that with the 10 x 5 lb bag workaround you will receive 10 separate 5 lbs bags the equivalent of a 50 lb sack fo grain.

Announcing: Abstrax Hop Profiles! + Save 15%

From MoreBeer:

A while back, we received samples of these terpenes, and we were absolutely all hopped up after trying them. You can add them at any stage on the cold side—whether it’s in your fermenter, keg, or bottling bucket. You could even add a drop or two to elevate your finished beer in the glass, resulting in a massive aroma boost that alters the flavor perception as well.

Optimized Hop Extracts
When you extract the oil from hops, no matter how good your extraction is, you’ll always wind up with certain undesirable plant compounds. Abstrax Hop Profiles are true-to-type optimized hop extracts without any of the undesirable notes typically found in other dry-hop aroma oils.

The Power of Terpenes
Abstrax Hop Profiles are created by using individual terpene isolates. Think of them like little building blocks. We assemble them together to create an exact profile of the original hop with ZERO undesirable compounds. The result is an extremely potent and accurate profile of the original hop utilizing the power of terpenes.

Extremely Concentrated
A little really goes a long way here. Hop Profiles are made from the essential building blocks of flavor and aroma so they’re naturally potent.

Dosage
Use at a rate of 2.5 mL per 5-gallon batch. Add at any point on the cold side in your fermenter, keg, or bottling bucket. Or even add a drop or two to spike your finished beer in the glass.

Features:

  • 100% efficient flavor/aroma transfer
  • Consistent from batch to batch
  • Increase in yield/profit 5-30%
  • Hop Profiles will not affect IBU test results and they cannot cause lightstruck off-flavors
  • Zero Undesirable Plant Compounds
  • No Lipids
  • No Chlorophyll

Alora™ is the latest aroma hop from the Hopsteiner Breeding Program best known for her unique oil composition, high 3MH thiol precursors, and tantalizing aroma.

  • Over 50% of total oils are Selinene
  • Alora™ has 5X the amount of bound 3MH thiol precursors than Cascade
  • Aroma—Peach, apricot, yuzu fruit, sweet melon with an alpha range of 7-10%

Abstrax Hop Profiles

  • Shipping is free with a qualifying $59 order to many US addresses.
  • Also: The Hop Market! – rotating deep, limited availability, deep discounts from MoreBeer

homebrew sack malt deals

Updated: 4/23/2024

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.

Another retailer has 55 lb sacks of two row on sale right now. Those are $74.99. Shipping (for me, probably varies) is $58.95.

  • 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.

More about Sabro™ brand HBC 438 Hops

From the product description, check product page for current description, price and availability:

For many years Sabro™ brand HBC 438 has been unofficially referred to as Ron Mexico due to its native US neomexicanus hop heritage, and was once one of the more difficult hops to get your hands on. It developed such a huge cult following in the brewing community that you can trace the recent boom in available neomexicanus hop varieties back to HBC 438. Sabro is notable for its complexity of fruity and citrus flavors. It imparts distinct tangerine, coconut, tropical fruit, and stone fruit aromas, with hints of cedar, mint, and cream. Sabro’s pedigree is the result of a unique cross pollination of a female neomexicanus hop. With a robust brewing performance, Sabro proves to be a strongly expressive hop that translates its flavor incredibly well into beer.

Vinnie of Russian River Brewing once used this hop in an experimental beer brewed for the National Homebrewers Conference, which was an absolute hit. We recently toured Russian River’s new Windsor brewery with Vinnie, and he still raves about this hop and will happily talk about the origin of the Ron Mexico alias with a Cheshire grin on his face. We think you’ll absolutely love this hop for brewing juicy, tropical pale ales and IPAs!

Mason Jars For Homebrew Ingredient Storage, Yeast Starters and More

You can also use Mason jars along with your vacuum sealer’s accessory port with a compatible jar sealer to store grain.  Using my rule of thumb 1.25 lbs per liter, the half gallon size jars should hold around 2.36 lbs of grain and the quart jars should hold around 1.17 lbs of grain.  Mason jars are reusable, oxygen impermeable and you can easily see the contents.

Adding Fruit to Your Homebrew Using Amoretti Fruit Purees and Artisan Natural Flavorings + Recipe for Wildberry Rye Ale!

This review is by Homebrew Finds Contributor Brad Probert.  Brad is an engineer, expert homebrewer and experienced reviewer.  Grab a link to Brad’s website at the end of this review.

Using Amoretti Fruit Puree in Homebrew

I’ll be upfront and admit I’m not a fruit beer brewer. I do enjoy a few commercially available fruit beers, but it’s more as an occasional change of pace than something I regularly seek out or buy on a regular basis. And it hasn’t been until recently that I’ve actually brewed a fruit beer myself. A friend wanted me to make a Peach Pale Ale, and that was my first foray into brewing one. I didn’t use Amoretti products on that beer, but it’s worth a brief explanation of my experience there, in order to contrast it to my experience with the Amoretti products.

Brewing the peach beer, I didn’t have the option of fresh, delicious tasting peaches to make a beer using fresh fruit. Conceptually, this seems like the ultimate solution, but this can limit your creativity to either time of year, or quality of product substantially. My first experimental batch was using a canned puree product. Thick and “sludgy”, this gave a great mouthfeel and cloudiness, but it had a distinct “dried fruit flavor” to me. It wasn’t as bright and popping as I had wanted.

For the second batch, I did a combination of the same canned puree, but also added some natural flavoring extract I got from my LHBS. That got me more brightness and pop in the flavor, but it also came with hints of alcohol-y flavors, and somewhat artificial aroma. In the end, through working a combination of this canned puree and flavor extract, I got a beer that turned out well, but I didn’t feel either was exactly the perfect tool for fruit beer.

I saw Amoretti fruit purees and thought I’d give them a try to see if they provided a better option. Amoretti set me up with some bottles of their craft puree as well as their artisan natural flavor compounds. Both are advertised as additions to your beers, with concentration recommendations printed on the containers. The craft puree comes in a large bottle with a hand pump like a soap dispenser. Specifically designed for you to either add flavoring in bulk to your whole keg, or just a squirt into your glass before you fill it with beer. To make a sort of fruit-flavored-Radalizer.
