Find the Best Deal on Sacks of Malt – Tips, Tricks & Sources

homebrew sack malt deals

Updated: February 13, 2025

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.


Malt 6 Packs at MoreBeer = BULK Malt Deal (and free shipping!)

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.

Rahr Malt on sale for $49.98… a good deal?

  • For a limited homebrew shop behemoth Northern Brewer has 55 lb sacks of Rahr Malt on sale for $49.98.
  • Shipping is an additional charge. For me it’s… a soul shattering $53.78. 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 $103.76 (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:

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

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.

Mash Efficiency Tests… The problem with store milled malt

Stored milled grain is notoriously under crushed. The general theory on this is that shops under crush to prevent stuck mashes. I think that’s true but I also wonder if it’s to prevent wear and tear on their equipment and potentially mill faster.

Side by side crush tests

These are side by side mash tests using default setting of a homebrew scale grain mill vs store crushed grain.  The Rahr 2 Row both milled and unmilled were sourced at a reputable local homebrew shop.  Note that it did not come from Northern Brewer.  To produce as consistent results as possible, I measured everything (water and grain) in grams to the nearest single gram.



Procedure:

  1. Weigh 906 grams (1.997 lbs) of grain
  2. Weigh 2,715 grams of strike water (.717 gallons)
  3. Heat up strike water to 162 deg F.  Overheat by a degree or so and then stir back down to temperature.  It’s easier to hit a stable temp going down vs hitting it going up.
  4. While strike water is heating pre-heat mash tun with 1/2 gallon of 212 deg F water.
  5. Place grain (inside of bag) in cooler.
  6. Add strike water.
  7. Stir and record temperature.
  8. Mash for 60 minutes.
  9. Drain first runnings.
  10. Grain back in mash tun.
  11. Add 1,884 grams (.497 gallons) of 212 deg F water to the grain and stir.  I normally would not sparge with boiling water.  I used boiling water to take one more variable out of the equation.
  12. Drain second runnings.  Let grain bag sit on strainer for 5 minutes.
  13. Record volume and gravity.

40% Off Grain 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 40% 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.
