Trying to determine most cost effective way to get grain. I've ordered sacks of grain and bought them from LHBS, both work out to around $50 - $55 for the base malts I use. I typically order from rebel brewer, it usually costs me $19 per sack to ship from them. LHBS works out to be a few dollars more, but they don't carry Rahr ( my brand preference ).
I've considered going in with someone and driving to Nashville ( 3.5 hours ) to do in store pick up but I think the gas money will be around $70 and not much of a cost savings. Was hoping for a closer option to Knoxville Tn or cheaper shipping option.
