I guess you're bulking....

You can take the weightgainer all day long

and take the whey + high GI carbs post workout

i was just worried about the amount of carbs before bed if it get stored as fat.

I would center more of it around right after your workout. Most weight gainers are loaded with sugar which I would not have close to bedtime. I would have low gi carbs and fats close to bed.

not all are loaded with sugar. Met-RX gainer has low sugar and isn't 2500 calories a serving. Its 800 and when I took it I split it into servings.

If you're not opposed to spending a little $ on pre-made stuff. I got a case for like 40$ of this drink called Size Up 1000 made by Worldwide. It has 1000 cal (hence the name) 50 grams of protein and 190 grams of carbs with only 1g of sugar. I drank one post workout from Oct to January (along with a few other things) and went from 175 to 198 and stayed in the single digit BF% range. It's a fast easy way to get what you need post workout.

Does anyone ever make their own weight gainers?

Boss101, yes if I recall there were some posts on people doing that in the muscle food board, but I would rather just go to costco and get a tray of chicken breast and tray of lean ground red meat and get lots of low gi carbs and just eat it up.
