I just ordered myself a grain mill, so now its time to buy some bulk grain. I'll be getting a bag of a few of the base malts for myself, but I would also like to get some specialty grain while I'm making the drive to Didsbury.

I would like to trade some specialty grains (maybe in 10lb batches) with people, so instead of having 50lbs of CarfaRed, for example, I would have 5 - 10lb bags of a variety of grains.

So the question is: what are some of the specialty grains, that I should purchase, that you might be interested in trading for?

I should also mention that I'm not looking for a commitment to trade, I just want to avoid getting stuff that everyone already has.

Hey Chris,

I'm looking to buy a few bags as well, so if you want to split the cost of going to/from Didsbury please let me know. We could even split a couple of bags too. I'm planning on buying some MFB Pale and Bairds Crystal. Let me know if you're interested.

Cheers and beers,

kolin

Hi Chris,

What grains are you getting?

I seem to be changing my mind daily on what I want as I learn more about each malt. I plan to get a bag of each of the base malts listed below. But I'm not 100% on what specialty malts I want to get yet. I was just reading about roasting malts at home, and how I can make any of the crystal malts from starting with Cara Pil. And how I can make Munich or Vienna from Pale or Pilsen malt. But I will need to do more research on this. Otherwise I'm thinking Munich and Crystal 80.

But I would really like to know what people have, are willing to trade, and what they want to trade for then maybe I could get 1 bag of something that 4 other guys want, we all trade, and I end up with 5 different 10lbs bags.

Base Malts:
Superior Pilsen
Superior Pale Ale
Canadian 2-Row
Wheat Malt

Specialty (undecided):
Caramel Pilsen Malt
Munich
Crystal 80

I would be interested in:

victory malt, cara munich, rye malt, special B, lighter crystal (10 to 30L only)

I agree, in smaller amounts, like 10 pounds each. Perhaps others would join in and we could split bags?
