I'm looking to purchase some ingredients for my first non-all-extract brew. Unfortunately, my local brew shop is a little skimpy in its selection, and the next nearest shop is an hour and a half away, so I'm looking for a good online vendor.
I notice many vendors seem to have a flat shipping rate of seven or eight bucks. Is this standard? I would hate to have to pay such a rate for a couple ounces of specialty grains and hops. Still, it would cost me less than driving a 150-mile round trip to a decent shop.
Can anyone offer some advice regarding which online vendors you have had satisfactory transactions with?
Much appreciated, as always.
