So I placed an order with a certain online HBS a couple days ago and normally they ship fairly quickly, either same day or next day. Well it's been 2 days since I placed the order so I called them and I'm 10th in line to have my stuff made and shipped so it might not ship out until tomorrow. They said they were short on people and training so things were running slower than normal. This normally wouldn't be a big deal but I have been waiting to do my first AG and I even took time off of work to setup my brewery and allow for time to brew and cleanup etc....I can't tell you how much I was looking forward to brewing this weekend so I found a local (sort of) place about 2 hours away. I placed an order for an weizen extract kit with steeping grains because I had to brew this weekend. So the upside is that I will have a anice weizen to drink, the downside is once my grains arrive from the other place I will have to wait a couple weeks to actually brew.
Now that I know about this local place, they are getting my business, I can't handle the lag time with these out of state HBS's. Hopefully this kit turns out good, it sounded decent with about 5 lbs DME and a pound of wheat malt for steeping. I think I am going to try some lemongrass in this recipe too.
Sorry for the rant, I was just pretty pissed that I wasn't going to be able to do my AG this weekend.
