Thanks,

Welcome Kevin! Nice to see another PNW brewer. What LHBS do you use in Seattle? Every time I'm up there I'm tempted to visit Bob's but never get the chance.

That's a damn shiny pot you got! Welcome to the forums from Olympia!
As for LHBS around these parts, I love Beer Essentials in Lakewood for my bulk purchases and RockTop in Olympia for everything else. Never been to Bob's, is it worth the hour drive?

I use Cellar Homebrew in North Seattle almost exclusively -- a good bunch of guys, there. And close to home.

I've not been to Bob's more than once, so I can't comment on them.

Until a few years ago, I used to work in Bellevue, and frequented Mountain Homebrew --also helpful folks, but prices much, much higher than anywhere else.

Another place I haven't been to in years is Larry's in Kent. I recall they do keg conversions and other custom SS welding work for homebrewers.

Hey Kevin,

Another newbie over here in Bellevue area.

I'm planning on paying Larry a visit for a 50# sack of 2-row. Good price I believe @ $44.50

Welcome from the other side of the country. Always enjoy some African Amber when visiting Seattle.

I picked up a 50# bag of pilsner malt this
afternoon at Larry's -- $44.

I go to Bob's Homebrew shop. I think I've only been to one other (can't remember the name) so can't compare it to others. Bob's must have 40 different malts/specialty grains and a good selection of hops and yeast. Worth checking out I'd you are in the neighborhood.

I haven't been to Cellar Homebrew. I live in the north part of Seattle. I'll have to check them out.

Dan.

I've been doing a series of single-hop pale ales.

50# seems like a lot, but for 5 gallons I used nearly 10# per batch. It goes pretty fast.
