More Info
Highlighted Features
  • 🧳This equipment is perfect for large batches and high efficiency milling. With two rollers, all your grain will be crushed twice in one cycle. The crush is through the fixed gap between the top two rollers. The initial pass slightly flattens the grain, getting it ready for the next crush that breaks apart the grains and loosens the starch with minimal husk damage.
  • 🧳This Grain Mill is constructed using materials that will last a lifetime. Cold rolled steel for the rollers, and aluminum for body and Stainless steel hopper and oil impregnated brass bushings. The grain mill is professional in grinding barley, wheat and other cereals.
  • 🧳You don't need any additional attachments, just stick the drill on and go. Stainless knurled knobs allow a gap spacing adjustment range of 0.070". Adjusting is simple - just loosen the adjustment screws, adjust the gap and tighten the adjustment screws.
  • 🧳The hopper can hold up to 11 lbs of grains and the roller body features an alloy block frame that houses three steel rollers on oil-impregnated bronze bushings. The drive shaft and all axles are integral to the roller, which makes clockwise or counter-clockwise drive possible. A hand crank is included, but the mill can be easily motorized with a corded electric drill.
  • 🧳It is provided with adjustable 2 rollers which can be crushed cereal well and peeled shell off perfectly, so as to be good for brewing beer in future. The 2 rollers design has the main advantage that it draws the grain better and gives improved throughput.

 

Milling your own grain… 1.  Gives you control over the crush of your grain.  That’s a big factor in efficiency.  2.  A mill allows you to fine tune for your equipment and process.  You know what the crush is going to be since you set it.  3.  A mill allows you to save money by buying whole bags of grain at a discount, and 3.  The shelf life of unmilled grain is longer than pre-milled grain.  Freshly milled grain = better tasting beer.

Find the Best Deal on Sacks of Malt – Tips, Tricks & Sources + Two Malt DEALS at William’s Brewing End Soon

homebrew sack malt deals

Updated: July 25, 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.


Limited Time Deals on Malt from William’s Brewing

 Rahr North Star Pils

From William’s Brewing:

Need a good deal on an excellent base malt? We made a special buy on North Star Pils from Rahr Malting. 10% on 10 pound bags, and 14% on 55 lb sacks, while supplies last.

  • 10 lbs are on sale for $17.99 and qualify for flat rate or free shipping
  • 55 lb sacks are on sale for $59.99 + actual shipping charges

Rahr North Star Pils Malt Deal!

10 Lbs Weyermann® Barke® Pilsner Malt

  • William’s Brewing has Weyermann Barke Pilsner Malt on Sale
  • 10 lb bags are $18.99 each (no limit) and qualify for free or flat rate shipping to addresses in the contiguous US.
  • 55 lb sacks are on sale for $54.99 + actual shipping charges

Weyermann Barke PIlsner Malt Deal!

Also, save on 10 lb bags:

  • Williams Brewing has select malt available in 10 lb bags. Save versus by individual lbs.
  • These also qualify for their free or flat shipping.
  • Shipping is free or reasonably priced flat rate to addresses in the contiguous US depending on your order size for most items.
  • Buy 5 x 10 lb bags and you have the equivalent of a sack of grain.

Malt 6 Packs at MoreBeer = BULK Malt Deal!

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

Get Free Shipping: Shipping is free with a qualifying $59 order to many US addresses

Example… Briess 2 Row drops to $7.65 when you buy 6 or more 5 lbs packs. Buy 10 x 5 lb packs and you’ll have the equivalent of a 50 lb sack of grain. With the discount this will figure to $76.50 AND that will include shipping to many US addresses.

Yes, free shipping works… FREE Shipping DOES Work. I periodically get questions/concerns when I post this workaround, please read… Although bags of grain do not ship under MoreBeer’s free shipping program… this is a loophole of sorts. 5 and 10 lb bags do ship for free. If you use this technique you will receive 5 x 10 lb bags of grain, not a single 50 lb sack.


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.

Another Illustration of the Problem (4/2024):

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 $74.99 for a 55 lb bag. That’s an okay price is shipping is good.
  • To slowest/cheapest available shipping option was…. $58.95
  • That’s a total of $133.94. That’s not good, in fact it’s bad.

Another Illustration of the Problem (5/2024):

This is a current “sale” from a prominent online homebrew shop. 50 lbs of grain is $80. Shipping (to me, will vary based on location) is a whopping $88.62. That’s a total of $168.62!


We can do a lot better! This article offerings tips, tricks and sources to help you source bulk malt at the best price.

Used for bittering, aroma, and dry hopping, BRU-1™ is an ideal choice for single hop beers. With no specialty malts in the mix, your taste buds will cut right to the headliner hop. In addition to the unmistakable pineapple character, you’ll pick up notes of pear, apple, and a hint of fresh cut grass. You’ve earned a break from life’s unrelenting hustle and bustle, if only for as long as there’s beer left in your glass.

Stainless Steel CIP Spray Balls for Sparging and Cleaning

8c3c93a1-b53a-4be0-b96b-30f2ecf67a80Thanks to HBF Reader Sam for this photo! Let’s be friends!  8 Ways to Connect with HBF

Updated: 7/23/2024

CIP (Clean in Place) Spray Balls are generally used for vessels that are too large to move.  Since they’re too large to move you… clean them in place.  If you have a larger setup, you could incorporate these into your system or routine to help clean your vessels more easily.

There are a couple of main styles of CIP spray balls stationary and rotary.  Note that if you’re going to try and use this for sparging, you may want to use the fixed spray version as Sam did.  You’re probably not going to get enough pressure with gravity alone to turn the rotary version.

Note that these are affiliate links. Multiple variations of these products may be available, as such a different version may appear at the link

HBF Reader Sam uses this spray ball as part of his sparging setup.  See photo above.

The Vittles Vault line of containers are very popular for bulk grain storage.  They have a large opening for easy access and have an airtight design.

The 25 lb size is said to be 6.5 gallons.  My estimate for unmilled grain storage is 5 lbs per gallon.  At that rate an 6.5 gallon container would hold about 32.5 lbs of grain that’s a rough estimate, actual storage capacity will vary.

My rule of thumb for unmilled grain storage is about 5 lbs per gallon.

65 quarts is 16.25 gallons.  At an estimate of 5 lbs per gallon, you could store about 81.25 lbs in this container.  That’s a rough estimate, actual storage capacity will vary.  103 quarts = 25.75 gallons.  These have a stated maximum weight capacity of 75 lbs.

Hands on Review: Vittles Vault Stackable Storage Bins for Homebrew Grain Storage

Updated: July 22, 2024

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.


Vittles Vault Storage Bins

Gamma2 as a company is 100% dedicated to their mission of designing and providing pet food containers to animal owners (technically they also care about your dog getting out of the pool, as they make a doggy pool exit ramp). But, that doesn’t mean these “pet food containers” can’t be co-opted for homebrewing. The same characteristics that make them ideal for pet food, also make them ideal for malt storage.

Vittles Vault 60-lb Container

I’ll go through a few storage basics for malt. First, you want to store it uncrushed, so that the husk helps keep the good stuff inside protected from the environment. Cracked grain kernels are more enticing to critters, and opens up the endosperm to fast staling. Beyond that, grain wants to be kept at cooler room temperatures (40 – 60F), dry, away from light, and in an airtight environment. Maltsters range in the max recommended storage time, with most in the 12-18 months range, and some up to 24 months. When you buy grains by the 55-lb sack, most will put a “best by” date on the label, since you don’t know how old it is before you get it. Although you can save money by buying grains in bulk, you need to make sure you have the right throughput to use it up before it stales.

Lid o-ring Out of Groove on Right Side

Gamma2 has a number of different types and sizes of storage containers. All are designed to be airtight, so they keep air from getting in and staling your grains when you’re not scooping it. (Which of course, the same thing can’t be said for that 55-lb sack of grain you’ve got in the corner, with a stretch of duct tape over the hole you cut into it…) The lid design is how they achieve this air-tightness. There’s a compliant o-ring that’s held in a groove on the lid which gets compressed down onto a chamfered face on the body of the container to make the seal. As the threaded lid gets screwed down, the o-ring will get squished to block off the air-leak path past the lid.


Deal on BULK Grain!

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

Get Free Shipping: Shipping is free with a qualifying $59 order to many US addresses

Example… Briess 2 Row drops to $7.65 when you buy 6 or more 5 lbs packs. Buy 10 x 5 lb packs and you’ll have the equivalent of a 50 lb sack of grain. With the discount this will figure to $76.50 AND that will include shipping to many US addresses.

Yes, free shipping works… FREE Shipping DOES Work. I periodically get questions/concerns when I post this workaround, please read… Although bags of grain do not ship under MoreBeer’s free shipping program… this is a loophole of sorts. 5 and 10 lb bags do ship for free. If you use this technique you will receive 5 x 10 lb bags of grain, not a single 50 lb sack.

More Info


Highlighted Features
  • Keeps Food Fresh and Flavorful: our Gamma Seal Technology, featuring a threaded locking system and double gaskets, create a controlled moisture balance making it the ideal airtight dog food storage container (suitable for cat food, too)

The Vittles Vault line of containers are very popular for bulk grain storage.  They have a large opening for easy access and have an airtight design.

How much grain can this hold? The 35 lb size is listed as having an 8.5 gallon capacity.  My rule of thumb for unmilled grain storage is 5 lbs per gallon.  At that rate, this would hold about 42.5 lbs of grain.  That’s a rough estimate.  Actual storage capacity will vary.
