Hey Joutlaw, can you tell me the procedures for the Austin Homebrew version of Sunshine Wheat? That was one of the really great things about St. Pats, they listed the actual ingredients of each kit in their catalog. That way you can use the recipe even if you don't buy kits. I have a couple of recipes from belgian wit but they are heavier than Sunshine. BTW I agree with More beer; don't use plastic.

DeFalco's is an excellent shop. it's my local HBS, and very knowledgable guy's, and good, fresh ingredients. they just don't offer the free shipping, but the prices are competitive.
try www.byo.com. they have a list of all homebrew supply shops in the states. maybe you'll find one?

I have to praise Austin Homebrew Supply as well...
I ordered about $90 worth of stuff on monday. It got here (central CA) today! The UPS tracking site said estimated deliver of the 25th. This arrived 3 days early!
Awesome!

I have bought from both Homebrew Heaven and Midwest Supplies. However, I found a brew shop in Columbia, Maryland.
www.mdhb.com (Maryland Homebrew)
It is a great place, with some realy friendly and very knowledgeable people. Needed some supplies on a Sunday (realized it at 4.30 and they closed at 5.00!) So, I called them, and told them I was on my way. They were nice enough to stick around and wait for me to get there and stayed open for me while they helped me get all the additional supplies I need.
While it is convenient to point and click, I much prefer to go to their shop. I plan to get all my beer supplies from them (nothing against Midwest and HH).

I have used Defalcos and More beer. I have always been extremely please with morebeer, because of their prices, speedy delivery and excellent customer service. Defalcos is one of 2 local HBS I have used. They are the better one, but are further from me. The other one does not have a website that I know of.

For anyone in western Canada, www.paddockwood.com seems to have a pretty good selection.
I'm in Vancouver, and they're in Saskatoon, but my HBS sends me to them for anything they don't have. Haven't ordered anything from them yet...

I'm lucky enough to work 5 min away from Heart's Homebrew. www.heartshomebrew.com
They seem to have a really nice selection and pretty decent prices. The guys there are really helpful and know their stuff.

If it hasn't been said yet, I'd like to suggest www.homebrewden.com. It's my local HBS and they are always very helpful and have a pretty good selection of ingredients and equipment.

Hops Direct RULES!! Sudster is 100% correct!!! I received my order of 8 pounds of 8 different hops, and was completely happy.
BUT, each pound is sealed up in a foil bag, and SUPPOSED to be a pound... I dont think so. More like a pound and a half! I used a half a pound of Fuggles in my last batch and seemed like I didnt even put a dent in the bag. Plus they were fresh and in perfect shape.
