They pay their employees a fair wage, their prices are still very competitive and they have really decent shipping charges. Also their kits are actually well thought out and within style guidelines if given. My only gripe is I don't live closer :P

Nobody likes to see prices rise. But I'd rather pay more for something that works and lasts, than buy something that I quickly outgrow, or just doesn't work like I thought it would. I spent more than I thought I should on a quality SS kettle. That turned out to be a bargain. I use it for every brew. It's the stuff I bought -- perhaps because it was a bargain -- and don't use that bothers me.

If I were just starting out I'd think hard about doing extract and PM brewing for much longer than I did. Sure extract costs a little more. But you can make really good beer with extract, and it requires less equipment. I could list dozens of items that seemed expensive, but weren't. And a lot of things that were just the opposite.

Ya, I noticed it. Thankfully it's not as bad as it could be. A lot of the basic equipment I'm just going to buy from the LHBS because it's cheaper (as much as $5 each on better bottles) for the most part. I'll likely continue to get most of my ingredients from them because they do more volume, and some of the advanced equipment (i.e. Refractometer) is still cheaper through them.

I use Rebelbrewer, I've found their prices and speed of shipping to be the best for me.

It's been 3 years since my company last gave out raises. They never laid anyone off during the recession, but nobody's paycheck got any bigger. I sure could use a raise this coming year!!!
