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

homebrew sack malt deals

Updated: October 23, 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.

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.

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.

10 lbs Castle Belgian Pale Malt – on sale for $16.99 + free ship eligible

A rather crisp malt, Kölsch malt will provide a slightly sweet, biscuit flavor and aroma. An excellent malt to use as the base in your next Kolsch, however at around 4.5° L, may brew a darker Kolsch than intended. If looking for a lighter colored Kolsch, you may want to incorporate a German pilsner malt into your recipe.

Castle Belgian Pale Malt from MoreBeer

3.2L Castle – Château Pale Ale malt is a Belgian base malt. It imparts a rich malt flavor and golden hues to wort. It is deeper in color and better modified than Château Pilsner malt. It has higher protein content and diastatic power than most English pale ale malts. The enzymatic activity is sufficient to supplement large proportions of non-enzymatic specialty malts. Château Pale Ale malt is well suited for use in pale ales and most English beer styles. It performs especially well with strong yeasts to produce amber and bitter beers.

Hands on Review: Barley Crusher MaltMill!

This review is by Homebrew Finds Contributor Michael Gom.  Read more about Michael below.

Note that this review covers both the 7 and 15 lb Barley Crusher Grain Mill

Hands on Review: The Barley Crusher

Having brewed all-grain for many years, I’ve spent lots of time refining my processes to try and produce predictable results. Things like brewing software make this much easier and do a great job of helping you calculate all your numbers. We can control how much grain we use and how much water, mash thickness, sparge volume, volumes going into fermenters, pitching rates, the list goes on. One thing I hadn’t been controlling, was my grain crush. When I had a local homebrew shop, the owner had no problem with me asking to double mill the grains to help get as fine a grain crush as possible while still not owning a mill. When he closed his shop, I was forced to start ordering my supplies online. Ordering from multiple different locations, having them mill my grain, it was obvious the variable that was changing was the crush size and I felt I was getting inconsistent results. Recently I purchased an all-in-one electric all grain system (Anvil), my brew days got much easier but my efficiency started to really suffer.

Announcing: New Oat Malt from Viking Malts

oat malt

From MoreBeer:

New Viking Oat Malt In Stock!

Have you brewed with the new Viking Oat Malt yet? Several of us here have started using it in place of flaked oats in our NEIPA recipes and love the results. Here is what one of our team members told us after swapping it out for flaked oats in their recent brew.

“Honestly, its hard to tell the difference. Both add the flavor and creamy mouthfeel you expect from oats. But the natural hulls from the oat malt help improve lautering without needing to add rice hulls. I love the stuff!”

Try some out on your next batch and explore the world of Viking Malts!

Viking Pale Cookie Malt via MoreBeer

More Info

From the product description, check product page for current description, price and availability:

Viking Pale Cookie Malt is produced by roasting high quality pilsner malt. The amylolytic activity of Cookie Malt is negligible. As its name stands Pale Cookie Malt contributes very mild and pleasant toasted cookie flavor and aromas with maltiness in it. Sweetness in this malt is rather low.

Viking Pale Cookie Malt can be included in grist for any beer where nice golden color and typical mild toasted flavors are favored. Already with rather low dosage portions the effect on flavor can be noted. Typical dosage rate of Pale Cookie Malt is normally under 25%.

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.

Malt Specification:

Moisture % – max. 6.0
Extract fine % dm – min. 75.0

55 lb Sack Viking Oat Malt… $49.99 AND Free Ship Eligible

Viking Oat Malt (55 lb Sack)

Viking Oat Malt (55 lb Sack) via MoreBeer

More Info

From the product description, check product page for current description, price and availability:

1.8 – 3.1 °L – Viking Oat Malt is a traditionally malted oat that comes with natural large husks that improve the lautering process. Viking Oat Malt has a soft flavor impact while adding a creamy, velvety mouthfeel to your beer and improving head retention. Highly recommended if you’re brewing a Hazy IPA, Belgian Wit, or any other style where a light haze in the finished beer is desired. Use as up to 30% of grain bill.

Morebeer! Pro worked with Viking to design this malt based on numerous customer requests. Unique light-colored barley varietals were chosen and the germination and kilning processes were selected to get the best of both worlds. Compared to other 2-row base malts on the market that were originally designed for big breweries, and are neither true Pilsner or true Pale Malts, Xtra Pale was specifically designed for light, craft-brewed ales.

Malt Specification:

Moisture % – max. 7.0
Extract fine % dm – min. 60.0
Color °L – 1.8 – 3.1
