Well I made a trip to the LHSBS after figuring out where it was via google maps. This is my first batch I'm putting together from a recipe instead of a kit and this first that I haven't ordered online.
Here's my impression, I looked around a bit and while equipment and small things like yeast, dextrose, and other adjuncts were very well priced, the Malt extract was a bit high, IMO. $15 for 3.3lbs of malt extract is about twice what I've seen online. Even with shipping, I think it's cheaper to order online.
However their grains were cheap, for like AG. I don't have the ability to go AG, but I'm looking into PM now.
Oh well, I was hoping to make this hobby slightly cheaper with no shipping costs.
