I have used leeners.com to purchase many of my brewing supplies. The site is pretty easy to navigate and if you have questions the people are more than willing to help you out. I had an item leak during shipping and after I contacted them, they shipped me another one free of charge and without any hassles.

I ordered from Homebrew Adventures on Monday morning via homebrew.com. I'm in NJ and they're in NC, I think (I wanted to order from someone at least close to where I live). They shipped on Tuesday afternoon and I got the stuff this morning.
Not bad! I want to try the free shipping from morebeer.com, but I worry about stuff taking a long time crossing the country via cheap shipping methods... |

I just went through the list and was surprised I didn't see Cellar Homebrew in north Seattle (The Cellar Homebrew - Brewing and Winemaking Suppliers), soooooo.... here it is.
Interesting note is their online prices are better than their in-store prices, but then again there is the shipping cost to deal with.

I normally order from either Midwest, Northern, or More Beer. I read all these posts and everyone seems hung up on free shipping. There is no such thing. The customer absorbs the cost one way or another. Northern and Austin's fixed rate shipping is decent but you have to watch the product price. I understand where they come from though and it cost money to operate a great business. It isn't a good idea to just buy from the cheapest place. Customer service is very important to me and I don't mind paying a "little bit" more for it. These are good places to shop. Another great online shop is Homebrew Adventures. I noticed a few here in Florida mentioned Hearts. Another great online source and getting more of my business.
Every time I order I open 4-5 browsers and complete the same order at all the listed places as well as AHB and a couple others. The "free shipping" places rarely, if ever have the best price and as mentioned have slower shipping unless you pay to upgrade shipping. I will add that all of these places are great places to shop though with great customer service and if you are ever in their area great places to visit. I have visited Midwest, Northern and More Beer and would die for any of them to be a LHBS for me. I order from all of them from time to time. My "LHBS" is DeFalco's in Houston and it isn't local. It is a 4 hour or so drive for me but we do it every now and then just for a day trip and to visit family in Houston. Great shop, very knowledgeable staff and an overall good shopping experience. Prices are high on some items such as bulk grain but for me it isn't any different than paying shipping on 55 lb sacks even paying for the gas to drive over. I normally go with the guy I brew with, we stock up and in the long run save some cash and get to meet other brewers. We are working on opening a LHBS here and hopefully it will be a reality soon. Might as well make my Business Degree work for me in an area I love. Last edited by Smurfe : 11-09-2008 at 05:07 PM. Reason: typo |
