For a limited homebrew shop behemoth Northern Brewer has 55 lb sacks of Dingemans Pale Ale Malt on sale for $74.98.
Shipping is an additional charge. For me it’s… a soul shattering $52.82. This is going to vary by location, but I don’t think it will get much better. I’m relatively close to Northern Brewer, just one state over. Link below.
The “deal” is a total of $127.80 (again for me, this will vary)
A way better alternate 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:
Let’s take Briess 2 Row as an example. For a near apples to apples comparison, buy 11 x 5 lb bags and they drop to $7.65. That comes out to $84.15… shipped. That’s to any address in the contiguous US.

From the product description, check product page for current description, price and availability:
Viking Pale Ale Malt is the perfect base malt for traditional Pale Ales, IPA’s, Ambers, Browns, Porters, Stouts, etc.. As a traditional english style pale ale malt it has a high degree of modification making it very easy to mash.
The rich maltiness adds layers of flavor to any ale.
Viking Malt is one of the largest malting companies in the world and the largest roaster of specialty malts. They are the main malt supplier to the famous Carlsberg brewery. Viking is not well known in the USA because they haven’t had good US distribution. Because MoreBeer! and MoreBeer! Pro is directly importing thousands of tons of malt we are stoked to offer you Northern European malt quality from one of the best malting companies in the world at lower than domestic malt pricing.
Viking Malt has 6 malthouses in areas where distinctive Nordic barley are sourced: in Halmstad, Sweden; Vordingborg, Denmark; Lahti, Finland; Panevezys, Lithuania and in Sierpc and Strzegom, Poland. The advantage of northern European malt is lower protein levels, good kernel size, and less amount of pesticides used due to the cold winters.

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.
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:
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.
Limited Time Deal – 38% off Malt at Label Peelers
Label Peelers is discounting their lineup of grain offerings, including malted barley, corn, oats, rye, wheat and more. Malsters include Briess, Avangard, Dingemans, Muntons and more. Offerings include base and specialty grains and apply to both bulk 50 and 55 lb bag purchases and smaller 1 and 10 lb offerings.
The 38% discount should be reflected on each product page
No coupon or discount code is required.
Shipping is an additional cost based on your location. Because of minimum shipping costs, it may make sense to place a larger order. Additional items may ship for minimal cost. Example: Shipping (for me) for 1 lb of Citra is $8.93. 2 lbs cost $9.18 to ship. That second pound costs just 25 cents to ship. That’s minimum shipping at work.
Offerings and prices can vary wildly on malt via Amazon, but it’s worth a look when it comes time to buy grain. Periodically some great deals have appeared.
Look at Total Cost
Price per lb delivered to your door is the most important thing when it comes to value. Biting on a low cost sack of grain with high shipping is equally as bad as biting on a high cost sack of grain with free shipping. Compare total cost. If free or flat rate shipping is an option always makes sure to put together an order that qualifies for discounted shipping.

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.

Viking Xtra Pale Malt in a Vittles Vault Container – Hands on Review
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.
Viking Xtra Pale Malt
When we say “malt”, most of the time we are referring to “malted barley”. The barley is grown and harvested as a grain, and then the malt house does the fancy processing of coaxing that grain to get it ready to sprout, and then heating it to stop that sprouting process. Both of these things (the grain and the processing by the maltster) are what give us the different colors and flavors in our beers. The temperature and length of time the barley is heated is the biggest variable affecting the color of the wort you end up making from it.

From the product description, check product page for current description, price and availability:
1.7-2.2 °L – Viking Pilsner Malt is made from 2-row spring barley. Steeping and germination conditions are chosen to promote even germination and homogenous modification. The final air-on temperature in kilning is typically 80-85 °C. Pilsner malt flavor is usually described as malty, slightly nutty and sweet.
Great malt for all malt beers but there is enough activity and character for base malt use in many brewing applications. For all kind of whiskies. The color of pilsner malt is low.
In 2016 Viking Malt and Danish Malting Group joined forces to better serve their customers. Now the new Viking Malt is the leading malting company in Northern Europe and supply raw materials and services to the global brewing, distilling and food industries. Viking Malt has 6 malthouses in areas where our distinctive Nordic barley is sourced: in Halmstad, Sweden; Vordingborg, Denmark; Lahti, Finland; Panevezys, Lithuania and in Sierpc and Strzegom, Poland. The annual malting capacity is close to 600 kilotons.
