Drink Fresh Beer 🌾

I have a problem. I like to make beer, and as often as possible, I'm making more than one batch at a time.

Brewing a lot of beer can be expensive. So when the opportunity arises for me to buy ingredients in bulk, it's hard for me not to take advantage of the savings.

Hops
I buy all my hops in 1 lb. (454g) bags. And I get them as soon as they're harvested and packaged.

To keep them as fresh as possible, I invested in a vacuum sealer worth its weight in gold. I got it on Amazon for $80.

During the homegrown hop season, I got many whole-leaf hops to package, and the vacuum sealer also reduces the size.

I store all my hops in the freezer and try to use them as quickly as possible.

Grain
I buy my grain in 50 lbs. (22.6kg) bags from my local homebrew store. I always like to have base grains in bulk like pale 2-row, pilsner, and something like Maris Otter.

For other specialty grains and adjuncts like flaked oats, Carapils, and roasted barely, I buy as much as I can for what I plan to use from the LHBS.

I store all my grains in the garage using Vittles Vaults. They're airtight pet food containers. I buy ones that can hold up to 60-pounds from Amazon.
Yeast
Normally, I don't buy yeast in bulk. Yeast is best when it's fresh. But I'm known to buy 4-6 packets at a time. And I only buy liquid yeast. And mainly from Imperial because it just works so well, and I don't have to make a starter. #NotSponsoredAtAll

That said, I do like to keep a couple of dry yeast packets on hand just in case I get the urge to brew and don't feel like hitting the LHBS.

For that, I buy a couple of packets of Safale US-05. It's just a clean yeast.

To store yeast, I keep it in my fridge until I need to use it.

Check out all my gear recommendations here. This list is always up-to-date. So be sure to check back. And I'm not paid (or sent free gear) to endorse any product. I buy everything with my own money and use it myself. If I like it enough, I'll recommend it.
Happy Brewing!
