So I went to the only LHBS in town today....it's a combo liquor store/LHBS.....the HB part is pretty small but they've got the essentials and at decent prices.
The only thing I've kinda got issues with is all the hops were just hangin out on the wall....aren't they supposed to be in the freezer?
I talked to the owner(who checked me out) and she's pretty nice but doesn't homebrew! neither does her husband! also...I called before I went to find out when they closed and asked if they had wheat extract (for the hefe I'm brewing right now) and what the price was....the dude that picked up knew they had wheat extract but had no idea there were two kinda (dme and lme) or the prices!
So obviously there is a bit of a bad managment situation going on over there....do you think it would be out of place for me (maybe after going a few times and letting them know I will be a continous customer) to say anything about the hops? or anything else I kinda think is out of wack?
I guess I'm just not sure of "LHBS ettiqute"...
Thanks for your input
maybe I should just get a job there...
