I saw on facebook that Downtown Craft Brew has just gotten 850lbs of bulk grain. So on a long shot I commented "do you have any Marris Otter?" They replied "yes" then replied "$65". I wanted to make sure I was understanding correctly and asked if they had 50lb sacks of Marris Otter for $65. I didn't get a reply so I thought "heck they aren't very far out of my way home from work". So I stopped in after work today. Sure enough they had sacks of Marris Otter for $65. Well then, I thought maybe I would be pushing it but I just had to ask, I asked if Hall of Foamers get a discount. The guy says "Yep". Long story short, I walked out with a sack of Marris Otter for $63 and change after sales tax. I thinking "Wow! I just got this stuff for $1.26 a pound. Since my hip replacement I struggle to lift things off the ground. The guy working there even carried the bag out to my car for me.
But WAIT! There's more!
I get the thing dragged into my house and read the stats. This isn't a 50lb sack. This is a 25KG sack. In other words 55lbs That works out to $1.15 a pound. NICE!

Re: More on Marris Otter
Wow. Super score, Roger!
And Maris Otter has a lot of nice characteristics. You're gonna have some superb beers coming down the pipeline.

Awesome score! Maybe I should start using facebook more often.
Good judgment comes from experience, which comes from poor judgment.
