I've recently asked the same:
http://www.forum.realbeer.co.nz/forum/topics/grain-storage-1
I went into StorageBox (used to be Payless Plastics?) and they were selling 60L foodgrade airtight containers for $37 so I picked up a couple. The Wellington store still had three left.
I believe Gladfields aren't too far from Chch, there have been a few posts on this forum with details for buying direct.
I just purcahsed 4 bags of grain of Gladfields, they have quite a good range now and really great people to deal with, there contact details are on the website, what are you looking at getting as I am thinking about getting a couple of varieties of crystal but couldn't squeeze a couple of sacks past the wife since she spotted the other four arrive, so could be keen on splitting a sack or two if your keen?
Hey Hamish,

Certainly got a good range now and it's local so well worth supporting them
Oh wow that is awesome. Cheers for that! Hopefully the homebrew stores get on board
They've really cranked up their production since earlier in the year when I last spoke with them.
Does anyone know if commercial breweries are using their specialty malts - and if so how they compare with other malts commonly available in NZ?
they have a list on the website on who is using it, locally I think it's wigram and three boys, I also think epic use it also,
There's a bit of discussion on which commercial breweries use Gladfield here:
http://www.forum.realbeer.co.nz/group/canterbury/forum/topics/gladf...
Yeah - I remember that one from a wee while ago when it sounded like consistency was a challenge as they bedded their processes in.
I was wondering how I'd put their new malts into my "malt comparison spreadsheet" based on hands on experience.... and if they were having any similar process experiences now with a new roaster.
I guess I'm wanting to know how to best use their malts and any issues to watch out for.
I'm keen to support a local producer and its always good to know how to get the best from their product.
