Hey folks. I noticed that if you order a kit from Austin Homebrew Supply, you have the option of adding a 1% alcohol "kicker" for $1.99. Normally, if you want to bump up the ABV by a percent you add 1 lb of dextrose, right?
So why does AHS charge $1.49 for a pound of dextrose, but $1.99 for a 1% kicker?
Anybody know? Does it include some DME in there? Or are they just taking advantage of newbs who are too uninformed to realize that you can buy the same thing for less elsewhere on their site?
I hesitated to post this. I know they're a popular supplier and I don't mean to make waves, but it just struck me as a little sketchy. Hopefully there's a perfectly good explanation for it though....
Cheers!
