also try www.northernbrewer.com. i think my first extract kit was a Coopers Old ale? also, get pellet hops to add to the boil. those pre-hopped extract kits don't have enough to make a noticable difference. it will help w/ bitterness and aroma.

try www.byo.com and do a search for homebrew shops. they list 'em all over the country.

good luck and keep us posted!

I found these looking online. Don't know how close or anything else about them though.

You're in my neck of the woods.
Try any of these.

And I'm stuck here with 1.5 HBS's??

El Pistolero · 11-18-2005, 02:03 PM

About 1.5 is all we've got too, and I'm pretty sure Houston is a bit bigger than Fuquay-Varina.

I was taking into account my willingness to drive anywhere in the greater Triangle area of ~1M (still smaller than greater Houston, but dang!).

You want to open a shop with me, BeeGee? We could have it open in the evenings to get all the business that American Brewmaster misses with their restricted hours.

Sounds good to me...could be a good gig! It seems like the last time I was in AB I remember seeing something about them staying open later one night and thinking I could actually get there after work without a special weekend trip, but for the life of me I can't remember the details.
