New to home brewing and I don't have a brew store any where close. What websites are the best? Prices selection etc etc.
 
I use Rebel Brewer http://www.rebelbrewer.com/ located in Nashville.
I think they have real good prices and I'm only 90 min away so I normally get my stuff the next day.
They almost always ship my order the same day if I place my order early.
They also have arguably the largest selection of grain, hops, and yeast on the internet.

I've also used
http://morebeer.com/
They have a big selection of beer ingredient kits, and free shipping for most orders over $60
http://www.austinhomebrew.com/
Has an extensive library of ingredient kits, 7.99 flat rate shipping, and free shipping for orders over $100
http://www.homebrewing.org/
I got all my kegging supplies from these guys

These are all good stores
 
I like AustinHomeBrew.com, but have bought from numerous others with little or no complaint. I like Austin's system for ordering grains, sorted by grain bill. It makes it easy to order stuff for 2 or more brew days and not have to worry about mixing things up or getting confused...well, more confused than usual.
 
Brewbothers.biz is pretty much the Cheapest out there in from my experience. They also have a far larger selection of grains than anyone local for me, and I live in Portland... They also let you have a "grain Ledger" which allows you to buy a 50lb bag of say 2 row for example for 29.99 and have them mill small qty's for you at a time. Shipping can vary in cost depending on where you live though. If you live in the SE, either Rebel or Austin Home Brew is probably a better choice. But outside of the SE BrewBrothers is the BEST and they are willing to help you with whatever brewing method you choose. Far too many LHBS try to force you into a method or tell you "this is the RIGHT way to do it" don't fall for it. Look on the forum pages and you'll see tons of different systems and processes to achieve the same goal. Great Home Brewed Beer. Hope that helps. Good Luck, and happy Brewing!
 
MoreBeer gets my vote, a little slower on shipping but thats the trade off for it being free. Prices are good and products are consistently fresh. 50lb Sack is also good on bulk hops and the like.
 
And i like Northernbrewer.com

lol, you'll see theres lots of options out there for a good home brew store, just look around and see which one you prefer.
 
Midwest supplies...no issues with any order and pretty quick shipping time. There are 4-5 main ones (mostly listed above) and they are all relavitely the same, a few have free shipping, some have lower prices, but they are all reputable and as long as your experience goes well, you can use whichever you want.
 
I have used Northern Brewer and Austin Home Brew Supply... but I do the bulk of my shopping at my LHBS.
 
I mainly shop at Midwestsupplies.com,Northern Brewer is good. Even amazon has some good beer supplies with free shipping over $25. I get some stuff from them to save money.
 
I comparison shop between Midwest supplies and northern brewer. Northern brewer gets most of the business. NB and gets mt stuff to me a lot quicker
 
I get stuff from Midwest 2 days after ordering it via their 2nd cheapest shipping option-Fed-Ex home delivery. Excellent condition every time too.
