munich malt suppliers in germany

[slurp the apprentice]

Does anyone know if it is cheaper to buy munich malt in germany and if so where from its just i have a brother who lives in luxemburg as i could get him to bring it over when he visits ?

[steve_flack]

Almost certainly. It's about £45 a sack over here from homebrew shops. Brouwland in Belgium charges €25.84.

He wouldn't happen to have a very big trailer would he??

Is there the potential for a JHBK group purchase

Your best bet for malts would be Weyermann, In Bamberg I believe, but that is quite a journey from luxemburg.

Of course Brouwland are based in Belgium so a purchase from there might be better.

no he has not got a trailer but he might be persauded to bring me 25kg but i would need to know it was worth doing .I have been trying to find a price for a 25kg sack in the uk with no luck i will contact C farams see if they can tell me

I know Munich Malt is made in the UK but the stuff the UK homebrew shops stock is made by Weyermann in Germany. The price of it can be seen here

It's still cheaper to buy a sack from Brouwland and pay the postage than it is to buy it from a UK homebrew shop.

Thanks for the info steve i found the web site and found price 25.84 euros but couldnot see the postage costs would you know what 25kg would cost to post?

In all seriousness, I would be up for this.

Delivery is €16.96 for 25 Kilos giving a total of €42.80 or roughly £30.50

I buy my fishing kit from Germany and delivery to Northern Ireland is cheaper (and often quicker) than if I buy it from the mainland. It appears to be the same for Brouwland, especially for the larger items and grains etc.. Then again I need a few more kits under my belt before I think about AG.

With a grain mill like the barley crusher

beertech sells the crusher at £145 i am not sure i could justify such an outlay
