Thanks for all of the props. We are moving to a new facility next week. 3 times the size of our current location. The new location is 18,000 sq ft.

This move will allow us to lower prices on thousands of items including beer recipe kits.

You will have to give us a little time because it is a big undertaking to lower that many prices. But you will see prices falling.

Thanks for all of the support and your continued business.

I'll gladly throw up another vote for Austin Homebrew. I started out with their extract kits before going all grain and loved every one of them. As I type my wife is in the other room picking out some extract kits from AHS because she's getting the bug just from me loving homebrewing so much. I wouldn't recommend something to my wife that I don't stand behind.

Forrest, you need an option for cheaper shipping. All I wanted to order was 1oz of amylase enzyme and you still want to charge me 7.99 for shipping!? Give me a break, you could probably fit that in an envelope and send it US mail. I'll even pay you for the stamps.

I highly recommend the "Canadian Blond" kit. I used it a time or two and my friends all went nuts over it. Although I've moved on to bigger and more complex brewing, they always want to know when I'm going to do another batch of the Coopers.

Couldn't agree more. I've come full circle from canned kits to extract with grains, to partial mash to all grain - I've enjoyed them all. But right now, with time a real consideration, I've found I can make some great beers in about an hour with Coopers, and Makebeer.net is very consumer friendly, as is Austin Homebrew. It just depends on how much time you want to devote to making good beer.

I currently use Northern Brewer for just about everything but I also like Homebrew Heaven in Washington state. William's is great and I used them before I discovered NB and HH but since I live in CA, the sales tax was killing me!

Also, E.C. Kraus (I think that's their name) sells the absolute best plastic fermentation vessels I have ever seen. I purchased one a few months back and now I want to buy about three more.

northern brewer and midwest supplies are my faves. And, remember cheaper isn't always better. I started investing a bit more in some quality yeasts and wow, what a difference.
