Source for Low Colour MO?

Post by yashicamat » Sat Jan 03, 2009 3:06 pm

I'm scrounging about and having some difficulty in finding a reasonably priced source for this. :( The cheapest I've found so far is Leyland, who will deliver it for £36.99 per sack. Warminster directly provide it cheaply, but their delivery is up in the clouds at £17 odd per sack.
I was rather hoping that the-home-brew-shop would be able to source some for me, but they told me no on the phone - only normal MO.

Does anyone else know of any outlets, or am I going to have to succumb to nearly forty quid for a sack of grain. :(

£37 is not a bad price including delivery. You'd probably have to collect from somewhere to beat it.

Yeah, well the alternative is thehomebrewshop which do a free delivery for over £65, which if two sacks are ordered brings the cost down to £32-something per sack.

I think I'll order from Leyland. :)

Oddly, I googled warminster and found this page:

www.warminster-malt.co.uk/pdfs/hbproductsandorder.pdf

which says that delivery for one sack was only £7. I initially thought you must have misread the prices but then I went to their home page and followed the order link and found the price list you must have seen:

http://www.warminster-malt.co.uk/docume ... er_000.pdf

which shows delivery at £17!

The malt prices do not change between the two lists so I guess they had a bit of a rethink on delivery costs. Go on. I dare you to try to order from the cheaper list heheh...

I did look at H&G put it's £34.50 for the malt alone and delivery isn't cheap on that kind of weight.

Just ordered a sack of low colour MO from leyland - they even let me have a few extra items under the postage included with the malt price. 8)
