Ooh Crush My Grains

Post by TheBigEasy » Wed May 09, 2007 7:16 pm

Does anyone know if the Home Brew shop in Farnborough crushes on site?
I have inadvertently bought 25 Kg of UNcrushed grain from the Hop and Grape (My fault, not theirs).
Patsy has said I can return it but the cost will be a tenner. I thought that if teh shop in Farnborough crushed then they might crush a bag for less than a tenner.

Anyone know?

Don't know about that shop but though i'd suggest another line of attack if they can't. Try your local micro-brewery they might have a mill and they are generaly friendly guy's who started out as homebrewers if my local is anything to go by.

jon - get Ant to bring his grain mill along to the next brewclub meet. I'm sure the landlord won't mind 25kg of grain being crushed in the snug. :lol:


Not sure if Farnborough crush their own...sorry.

Jon,

Farnborough do not crush their own (at least not the base malts but I dopn't know about the specialities). They will of course sell you a mill but that's a bit more expensive than the tenner postage to return the sack :shock:
