When I decided to brew at home, I looked around at my options to procure the ingredients (malts, hops, yeast, etc) for the brew. Without a shred of doubt, it was incredibly difficult to get my hands on the ingredients for the beer recipe in India.
I wrote to different breweries and asked where they shop from. A quick Google search and landed me hundreds of results from which I contacted the maltsers. Some of them provided me with pricing for the malts that I asked for but they all sell in 25 kg packs and upwards. So unless you're brewing regularly and big time, it doesn't make sense to have that much malt lying around the house.
Further research led me to these two websites: BrewOf and DiyBrew. BrewOf is based in Ahmedabad, Gujarat and DiyBrew is in Bangalore, Karnataka.
Both of them offer a good variety of ingredients and their prices are fair enough.
To brew all-grain batches of beer, one would need a good amount of base malts to extract fermentable sugars from and both BrewOf and DiyBrew have a good range of base malts. Their specialty malts are equally good and worth it if brewers want to brew different beers.
I haven't decided where to procure my ingredients from and that is something that will need some time and thinking.
