Oh, but you can! I admit, it isn't a whiz-bang slick site, but it is secure. And I like the fact that there is a real, 'easy-to-spot-on-the-webpage' phone number to call with questions. Plus, their Two Brothers brewery is right there in the same location, so you know you are speaking with someone who knows what they are talking about. I'm sorry to go on about them, but I just really like this shop and I like the Ebel brothers beers.

And I can personally vouch for their Classic Pale Ale and Porter kits - they were my first two brews!

No affilation, yadda, yadda...

Anyhoo, here's their online catalog!

I got my 1st order from http://www.homebrewers.com/ and have no complaints. I might use one of the companies that has free shipping next time though.

I just wanted to recommend Austin Home Brew. That is where I buy all my home brewing equipment and ingredients at. Great staff, location and usually have exactly what I want.

If you live in Northern VA, DC or the DC metro section of Maryland, I would recommend Annapolis Home Brew at www.annapolishomebrew.com. I've both been there in person - the staff was friendly and helpful - and done mail order with them.

I like Homebrew Adventures in Charlotte NC. Excellent service, and are more than willing to help.
www.homebrew.com
And they have a forum there too, but also a weekly Sunday chat, usually with guests. Some of the guests have been, Greg Noonan, Ray Daniels, Randy Mosher, Dr White from White Labs, just to name a few.

Found this one while 'buzzing' around the web...

Michigan Brewing

The thing I really loved about this page... me and a buddy both had two batches (four different recipies) that we were ordering supplies for. This site had EVERYTHING we needed. What a relief not having to order from two or three different places. The prices are very competitive (beating many other on line stores I have seen) but they do charge shipping. I will pay for the convenience of one stop shopping any day. They do not tell you the shipping charges up front and this worried me a bit so before ordering, I gave them a call. They charge only what UPS charges them plus ONE dollar

Another thing that really impressed me... the guy had a question about a yeast substitution since they were out of one. He called me to confirm this substitution and said he would have the shipment out that day. This was 15 mins after I placed my on line order

I do admit, I have not bought much over the internet and certainly have not been shopping for those 'bulk' discounts but this place did impress me enough to merit a post here

Home Brew Shop

This is my nearest HB store. I haven't used the online facility, but have visited their shop. Its a small shop, but seems to have a comprehensive supply of stuff for beer wine cider and stuff.

As a brewing newbie the staff seemed knowlegable and helpful.

I might give their online service a go at some point. I'll let you know how I get on if i do.

Also in the UK, I would recommend the Hop & Grape in Darlington.
Help and advice is exellent and the online store is quick and reliable.
