Yes, Los Altos.

Sorry, I can't tell you how much their kits cost, since I buy my grain and hops in bulk. They do stock a large number of grains, however, as well as extracts, in case you want to put together your own recipe.

Danm! I think i get out for about $30 each time here at Fort Worth Homebrew. I am lucky that most of what they sell comes directly from Austin Homebrew.

What are you ordering in your kits? I usually use about...
1-1.5# specialty grains
4-6# DME
Yeast (dry if available)

The only time I have spent more than $35 on a 5gal batch, was when i needed 2# of fresh raspberries, and that was $15 alone.

Don't think they are the cheapest, but Morebeer.com has daily specials, which can sometimes be pretty significant. Today I checked and bought a AHA membership for like 25% off. Not bad considering I have been wanting to do this for a while.

You must be making very big beers to spend that much on one batch. There's a linear relationship between ABV and cost.
