I store my grains in 30 gallon rubbermaid trash cans. No problem so far.

Yep this, exactly, with the locking handles, and in the original sacks. No problems either.

At what point is buying grain in bulk worth it? So no one gets in trouble, how many hypothetical gallons of beer do you make in a year so this is worth it? I assume you guys pretty much only buy base grains in bulk (2-row, maris otter, munich, pilsner, etc.) and then buy smaller amounts of specialty grains. How much cash do you bulk grain buyers estimate you save per 5 gallon batch?

I'd be down for a New England area bulk ingredient buy. Grains, hops, whatever...
