I was getting them from me, lol through our club grain orders. We're now running them through Everwood.
At Alexander Keith's we follow the recipes first developed by the great brewmaster to the absolute letter. :wtf:

I get them through the group buys too and Mr X mules them down for me... Do you need anything in particular?

Make that 3 for the group buys. I'd also have no problem ordering from Ontario Beer Kegs on Thursdays as they do $0.89 per pound grain.

Nothing in particular right yet. Just half throwing around the idea of attempting an all grain, but still new to everything.

Why don't you join one of us for an AG brew one day to see if it's for you before investing in equipment and grain?

How about next weekend weather permitting we brew up some Cream Ale? I'm only in Westville, so it's not much of a journey. Just be prepared for a 6 or so hour process.

Sounds like a plan. I have a shitload of ingredients so I was thinking of 10G of cream ale, but there are other options.
