Hi all,
Been away from homebrewing for a little while, going to try to get back into it. Apparently while I was gone there was a big(?) decline in homebrewing, and my go-to place to get ingredients (Rebel Brewer) is mostly out of business. Where do you all like these days?
Are you on the Brew Hut’s mailing list? They do a 15% (IIRC) discount, so if I’m in your part of the world anyway that generally ends up being cheaper than shipping.
Otherwise I generally end up using MoreBeer because they do partial sacks of malt that still qualify for free shipping. I try to get them to only ship from one coast, but not always successfully. :-\
More Beer & Williams most of the time, if I’m going to be in Denver I like Tom’s Brewing Supplies in Lakewood, they do offer a 5% discount for AHA members. If you’re buying grain by the bag it’s almost always less expensive to buy local cuz the shipping cost as far from the coasts as you are is ridiculous. For bottle caps Williams smokes everyone else, especially if you buy in bulk.
Thanks, I’ve been to Tom’s a couple times. I used to work nearby but had zero time for brewing at the time. I’m just taking baby steps to get back in, I sold everything when we moved to Germany and don’t have the space to go all grain right now.
Brew Hut / Dry Dock was one of my favorite places in the world back in like 2010. It’s crazy how time flies.
