Not sure if its a "party-foul" to be asking liquor store questions in the homebrew forums, but I figure this is a good resource of people. I am looking for a liquor store that sells single bottles for a build your own 6-pack option. I would like the singles to be cold and also hoping they...

Oh yeah, we are doing our best to practice epic sanitation procedures! Yes, Vinator is on our wish list of equipment. :)

Just as an FYI, my email was pretty harshly worded regarding my disappointment. I was given a full refund without having to ship them back. Sometimes a well composed email is worth it.

If you make it down to Colorado Springs, the Colorado Mountain Brewery right off Interquest and I-25 is awesome. Some of the best food I have ever had and good beer as well. Although, if you are going to be driving that far you might as well head north to Fort Collins for a day as well to...

I doubt these are QC rejects. I received mine yesterday as well. Due to the poor packing for glassware, one of them was completely shattered. None of them had the laser etching and all had a sticker on the bottom stating "Made in Slovenia". Pretty sure these are poorly made knockoffs of the real...

So I did a test run of about 13 bottles last night. (about all my bucket could hold at once.) Wow, that Oxiclean is amazing for removing labels! I took Bob T's advise and foiled the tops of the clean ones so I know which are clean and ready for bottling. Now I just need to procure a large...

Thanks for all the input and replies. I think the smart thing to do at this point is order the supplies online. I have been browsing around northernbrewer and really like what I see. This community rocks! Cheers.

Any other Colorado locals with personal experience at these LHBS? Thanks!

Thanks for the replies so far. I looked up Old West and they had a not-so-favorable review on their google places page, person said they aren't too friendly and seem annoyed with questions. As a first time home brewer I would hope to find a shop that is friendly and encouraging and doesn't mind...

Hello everyone, first time poster here. My friend and I have decided it is time to get into homebrewing. We live in Colorado Springs and are wondering if anyone has any experience with the homebrew shops here in town. I saw the Brew Hut up in Denver referenced while searching the forums but...
