Default Where can I buy carboys localy?

I am living in Huntsville, AL. Does anyone know any brewing shops where I could buy carboys?

Pearly Gates has carboys and bucket fermenters as well as most of the basic brewing hardware. Everything is a little pricey, but I'll go there in a pinch. Avoid their grain and ingredients in general, their prices are astronomical. A pound of MO there is twice the price of anything you'll find online and I have yet to see any crystal malt there.

New Yorkers think they’re so jaded that it’s impossible to shock them. They think they’ve seen and heard it all, and that may be mostly true. But I can tell you from experience that, at 2am in Midtown, pretty much every person on the street will stop and gawk when they see a guy holding hands with one midget, and another midget on his shoulders yelling out: “WHO RUN BARTERTOWN? I RUN BARTERTOWN!”

Thank for info. I tried to contact them by phone, but I was never able to get through. I might go there today or tomorrow and see that they have. I have ordered a carboy already from NorthernBrewer, but I might buy another from them too, since I think my first batch of wine needs racking pretty soon.

I've never been able to reach them on the phone for some reason, but they're usually open. It's definitely a mom and pops kind of shop, so they don't always have regular hours. They generally have more wine options than beer.

If you have time, come to Pelham Al, 20 miles south of Birmingham, there is a great brew shop, only closed Sunday and Monday. Opens at 10 am

If people have time, Come to Pelham Al, to exit 246 make a right than turn left at next light next to KFC and McDonalds and you will see them on your right.
