    Hi, thanks for pointing that out. It seems that the split bags of malt have changed - the bulk malt however seems to be largely unchanged. If you're looking at 25 or 30kg then you should still get a decent price. Drop them an email.

      Yeah I ended up sending BevPlus a request. No idea if they'll be willing to mill 25kg of grains for me though. We'll see.

BevPlus hiked their prices like mad, so I don't really want to support them. NFP has shut down orders due to demand, so I don't know what to do now. Anyone have some tips for me?

        I have been buying from BevPlus for close to 3 years. The only time their was a major price hike was a few weeks ago (cannot remember exactly how long) for a short period and this was on grain, however this was apparently a mistake and prices where rectified on the malts.
        Fermentis yeast prices are quite low at BevPlus, also check out hops, very good prices especially if you purchase 1kg.

        I also purchase from BrewCraft, but they are currently not open for online orders.

          Yeah it seems like some prices were reduced again. It was a bit of a shock to see the sharp increase right as I wanted to order. Glad to see it's back down again.

              Reduced but not 1:1 to the "before time" 100g of East Kent at R627 is still a bit steep :-)

                Well that might be a boo-boo hehe! I wanted to order malts from them but when their R80 prices shot up to R99 for a 3kg bag of base I decided "hell no". I see it's down a bit again. Their mini keg prices are still high, bit I guess that's due to the exchange rate. R94 for a mini keg is a bit of a stretch for me now.

That looks like it's way ahead of anything else out there. Won't I just be pissed at myself 3 months after buying the cheaper option?

                            Ag no. I've been trying to reach them for a few days now, hoping to buy some bulk malts. Pretty sad to see this.

                              They didn't want to sell direct to public ... you had to work thru a LHBS like Beerlab ... but like many of us have already stated here, their malts give a very low mash efficiency.

                              Sad to hear a business having to close tho.

                                Hmm, low efficiency you say? Interesting. I've brewed with a few of their malts in the past and always had low efficiency until my last batch when I used a totally different brand. Perhaps that could be it?
