Default lower priced ingredient kits
I've been looking around for some lower priced complete ingredient kits, that come with the yeast, malt etc etc. Basically trying to save a few dollars and give myself a hobby. On the internet I can't seem to find anything that will beat my local store when it comes to price with shipping.

Any suggestions?

What price are you finding at your local store so we can compare to the places we shop at?

I'm in the market for the same thing and the cheapest I have seen are of these 5 kits on morebeer.

5 Beers Under $.50 a Beer | MoreBeer

Those seem to be the best priced, but northernbrewer has a few kits that are in the same ballpark. I think morebeer has a deal where if its over $59 you get free shipping.

Be happy if your local home brew store has great prices that beat or compare to online stores when shipping is taken into account. Sadly I've yet to find a better deal local than online. With 10+% sales tax + gas money to drive to a LHBS + prices that are no better than online stores I find that its hard to not shop online.

Your best bet might be to visit an online store with flat rate shipping and buy several kits at once.



EDIT: I found that midwest has some decent partial mash brews in the low $20s. Sure midwest doesn't have flat rate shipping but if you fiddle with your order (buy more than one kit) the shipping cost doesn't go up horribly.

Yeah, I agree my LHBS charges $40 for a kit and around $25 for a 6 lb LME, so I am shopping online.

Have you checked out Austin Homebrew Supply's Session Series kits? He has a nice selection of kits at good prices. With the flat shipping rate I think these are pretty darn inexpensive.

Most kits at AHS are at the cheapest $24-25 + yeast.

Prices are around $13-$20 for a 2 gallon ingredient pack, or $30-$45 for a 5 gallon pack, everything included.
