Quote from: Northern_Brewer on February 25, 2020, 10:36:23 amIn the UK, Crisp has been taking the lead on resurrecting old barley varieties - there's now a reasonable amount of Chevallier being produced, and last year they produced 14t of Hana which has made some delicious commercial beers so I suspect they'll be doing more of it. I'm not sure how much made it into the homebrew supply chain, other than the tonne that went to the Malt Miller (no affiliation).But it may be worth asking any retailers who deal with Crisp Stateside whether they can get their hands on any.Hop Craft supply has it at $1.79 a pound.

I didn't know anyone had the Crisp Chevallier by the pound, I've only ordered it by the sack through LHBS. I don't often make ales (not often enough to really justify a whole sack,) but when I do make a bitter or mild, that's the malt I prefer. This is great to know.Hop Craft is local to me and the owners Mike and Brandon couldn't be any better to their customers and the homebrewing community in the area. I get all of my supplies from them. https://www.hopcraftsupply.com/

I could be wrong, but I thought I saw It packaged in BSG 10 lb sacks at my LHBS (I bought a full 55 a couple years ago from them). The 10er was $17.99, I believe. Check to see if your LHBS can order it for you.

The last place I lived that had a LHBS was over two years ago and I could have gotten a 55 lb bag, but that would have been way more than I would have wanted.
