All Grain from Amazon.com... seems really nice... oddly CHEAP

[somecallmetim]

I just bought their last Vienna, Dark Munich & Flaked Barley. I was going to buy 2 sacks of the flaked barley, the LHBS wants 2.39 a pound, so I've been brewing Oatmeal Stout instead of Irish. By the time I checked out they only had 1 left, I had to go back & add the Munich to get free shipping...

It wasn't free shipping for the 8 oz hop sampler. I put 2 of them in my shopping cart and shipping was $11+ on a $33.80 order.

You're order has to be $25 or more to qualify for free shipping on Amazon. Your order was $22.XX. Next time add $3 more in some merchandise & you'll get free shipping.

Sorry no. Meant to say North Country.

An update on my Amazon RIS kit. I was planning to transfer to secondary today but when I opened the bucket I noticed a strong apple/cidery smell, and sure enough it tasted that way as well. The SG was 1.024 with a target FG of 1.022. I did not notice any yeast on the surface but there was still some bubbles at the top. From what I've read this is likely acetaldehyde. Question at this point is whether to let it remain in primary on the yeast or transfer to secondary? Has anyone else had this taste 3 weeks into fermentation? I know it was a big beer with a OG of 1.086 so I expect it may take a long time for the yeast to complete their job. Any input would be appreciated and hoping this isn't my first case of bacterial infection.

I would probably leave it on the yeast for another week and the transfer to a conditioning vessel for at least 2-3 months. A beer that big is going to take time to mellow, especially if you let it get a little hot while fermenting.

Was just looking deeper into this and guess what - There's more - there is a Coupon Code for 25% off items in the homebrew catergory.

Not sure if a direct link will work with all the cookie stuff, but I will post it and how to get here.

Amazon Grocery Homebrew

Goto the Amazon Grocery Main Page and look in the header navigation for Sales and Special Offers towards the right hand side. Then scroll down to everything else and click home brewing, you can now page thru 12 pages of mostly out of stock products that they might have in the future but do not have yet, and you can get 25% off with the coupon code - BREWNG25

Looks like they will have autosiphons, better bottles, etc in the future!

I picked up a few bags of crystal as well as a tub of PBW got free shipping on everything, plus the 25% off at checkout. The prices displayed do not reflect the additional 25% off you will get!!

:rockin:

Thanks, I'll do that. I was planning to secondary for at least 3 months, so I'll just have to be patient. My beer has been getting warm during fermentation; part of the problem with living in Florida. I think my next project is to get a cheap fridge or chest freezer and convert it into a fermentation chamber.

BUMP BUMP...

Anyone had any luck, any comments on the malts sold by Amazon?? Anyone used the Coleridge malts? I am curious.

FYI, Coleridge = Briess on Amazon.

I bought 10 lbs of the red wheat, munich, victory, caramel 80, and dextrin malts. All are of good quality and the average price (shipped) was $1.30/lb which is pretty darn good for specialty grains compared to AHS, et al. So, yes, I'm a satisfied customer.

But, I looked the other day and they're out of stock on many of their items and some of the prices have gone up $3 - $4 per 10 lb bag. I'm still crossing my fingers this turns out to be a good long term deal...

 

[The Pol]

Yeah, they are out on all of thier base malts... actually I have never seen thier base malts in stock!

 

[GuateBrewer]

I have been ladding in several of the crystal malts as they have them in stock and find them all to be fresh, dry etc - Everything I have brewed with them has turned out fine. Just waiting for them to get the stock levels right and this will be great for those next day orders.
