Well my LHBS is about an hour away and their hours don't match up with my schedule too well. I'd prefer to buy locally, but the difficulty getting there combined with their semi high prices leaves me looking for other options.
I know a lot of you order online and I have a few questions.
How are the hop pellets kept cold while being shipped? Do they use dry ice? Do they require overnight/faster shipping so they can be kept cold? If so, I'm guessing this drives the price up.
I've used Wyeast smack packs in the batches I've done so far and they worked great. I liked the convenience and I'd like to continue using them, but is it possible to ship these or does keeping them cold cause problems?
