Might take a little while to contact the people who would know. Some places can be dodgey, I go to Rocky feed and seed, they sell grain for sowing as well, but most of that would be treated with fungicides and pesticides I think. It is the feed grain we want, but just no sour stuff, nice dry whole grains is my choice because I can see and smell the quality. We can't see it till after we buy but the quality is consistent from them. The Barley is a big seller and I had to wait for a bag, I store my grains in an old deep freezer which gets opened every day.
Kiwikeg, thanks for the heads up on the corn, i won't be so concerned about it now, I don't malt the corn, the corn is for flavor and grits mainly. My animals seem to like the spent grains and left over stuff a lot, so not much is wasted no matter what happens.
Thanks mate called the first one all the stuff I need at $1 per kg. I try them.Farmhand wrote:Hi Newbiboozer, It is my pleasure if I can help, but unfortunately I have drawn a blank as yet on word of mouth info. My uncle (who was my best shot at good advice as he has always kept animals) has up and moved all the way to South Australia and I don't have his mobile number yet.
However I did some online snooping out of curiosity and I found three places that I'll list in order of where I would go, you may have already contacted one of them anyway, and I am still hunting my Uncles number.
1) Miners Stockfeed, 952 Eungella Rd, Pleystowe QLD 4741, They list grains and "custom mixes" in their services so I assume they have all the grain types in bulk or can get them and bag it.

2) Mackay's Stockfeed, They sell a Premium cleaned Wheat product for 1* dollars per 20 kg bag, I wish I could get that, I like wheat, but we want Barley for sure and corn. I like to snack on wheat sprouts. Yummy.

3) Highway Produce and rural supplies. http://www.localdirectories.com.au/Glen ... ofile/oOo9
Sounds like we are both in a similar stage of our brewing/distilling hobby/interest. :smile: I've only done a couple of test brews and have a barrel of brew almost ready, it's at day 12 and bubbles are slowing, finally.
If I can get any word of mouth info I'll let you know.
Cheers
