Kevin,
Welcome to the forums. We will sell honey at some point, but we are not there as of yet. As we continue to grow and get better at what we currently focus on, beer, then we will look at going into some other areas, such and mead, and wine.

I'm gonna have to get on the new BrewBuilder pretty soon and order my own shared recipe. I ask you, how cool is that?

Edit: Oh, you know what would be really cool... is if we could see how many orders have been placed for recipes we've shared. Just a random wild thought.

Love the new site Ed! I can't wait to get some time this week to really put it through the paces.

Hey Ed, did the database get purged for the new site when it was released? Just curious, my recipes seemed to have disappeared.

Edit: Don't worry, I have backups.

 

[Edcculus]

The new site looks good!

Yes the database was accidently purged after someone suggested that spices should have a timed component. The recipes were supposed to be backed up but they were not. Thank fully no one had too many recipes in there when it happened. I would cry for 2 days if it happened now.

Sorry,

Ed

Thanks everyone I am glad that you like the new site. A little tip when sharing recipes. go to the My Account section and then member profile. Fill out your profile with your brewery name, and logo. This way you can represent yourself on in the database.

Ed - do you have brown sugars? I was putting together an ESB which needs some... I have no problem going to the grocery store to buy it, but it makes it hard to put together a recipe to share (and makes it out of style, as the ABV is too low).

No we do not have brown sugars. The recipe notes section is the place to put things that we do not carry and put any additional information about the recipe, like OG with 1 lb of Brown Sugar added. I wish I could have everything that could go into beer, but there is no way to do it at this point.

Thanks,

Ed

I just ordered from them last week. Some of my items were out of stock (yeasts), but Ed called me right away and we found acceptable substitutes. Responsive customer service and very polite. They didn't come across as bothered to deal with a customer like some of the other usual online vendors I've used. Ed told me the delivery would get there in time and it sure did. They've got my business.

Brought that one on myself then, as I believe I recommended the timed spices. I'll get my recipes added back in again soon.

I was just messing around. I am not sure what was being updated when the recipes were lost. Thanks for the suggestion, as the spices can now be entered by boil times or primary/secondary.

Just ordered last night using the new brewbuilder. The only quibble I have is the lack of an obvious way to "buy" immediately after you "save" a new recipe. Other than that, Killer App. Brewbuilder is THE reason I shop there.

Thanks

Thanks man I am glad you like the new Brew Builder. There is no easy way to get a buy into the software after you save it. The best way to get a 1 click buy for your recipes is to enter them, save them and share the recipe. That places the recipe into the recipe category, where you can just add it to the cart from now on. I did try to get a buy and save at the same time, but there was just too much going on with trying to buy the recipe, allowing people to remove items they do not want to purchase, and naming/adding recipes notes. Something had to give in order to keep everything working properly.

I am very proud of the new Brew Builder. I think it is one of the most powerful store applications on the web. The programming behind it all is just insane.

Thanks,

Ed

x2....awesome customer service, great packaging of ordered items (the yeast was packaged in foil covered bubble wrap envelopes), and ultra fast shipping <24hrs from door to door. A few of the ice packs were still solid and ice cold.

 

[Brewenstein]

Just got a call from Ed. The yeast I ordered was not in stock and he was able to recommend another strain (Belgian for a Chimay red clone) and he added a second one for me since I had screwed up my original order. Excellent customer service! And I love the improved web site. I had only ordered once before, but the changes are great. Keep up the good work!

Thank guys. We certainly try to give everyone the best possible customer service.

The good just keeps getting better. I really like the improvements to the website but I is anyone else having problems with the size of the pictures in the descriptions? When I was trying to place an order the item pictures were large and cover up the "Add to Cart" button so I couldn't add to cart. May just be my crappy laptop at work - will have to try at home with newer browser.

 

[nostalgia]

No, everything lines up fine for me. If you're using an old version of IE it doesn't handle CSS very well. I have a similar problem on my website.

I have heard about the problems with the pictures. From what I understand the problem happens in IE6 with certain items. I have let the web guys know about the issue and the browser that is causing it. It should be fixed by tomorrow morning. Sorry about that. If you can use another browser in the mean time everything will work properly.

Thanks,

Ed

Ed,
When I try to login, the bottle cap is covering the login info.

That was using google chrome, IE didn't have the same problem, all set.

That happened to me too, using Chrome, but I thought my browser was just acting up.

What version of Chrome... and where were you logging in? The login form can show up almost anywhere depending on what you're doing.

Using Chrome 3.0.195.6 here... can't replicate. I did just post some CSS tweaks. Might try clearing cache.

[Brewmasters Warehouse]

I am not having any problems either.

 

[Rick500]

Yep, 3.0.195.6 here too. But I can't guarantee that's the version I was using when it happened... it's been a few days.

If I see it again I'll get a screenshot and note my browser version number at the time.

Just went back through the site and everything looks fine right now.

Excellent job on the site, by the way. I don't see how it could be much better.

 

[nickb]

Thanks for the info and screenshot offer. Never had a problem with Chrome so I wanted to check this out. So gald you like the site! Thanks again!

Only thing I noticed with Brew Builder is that when I selected a 'wood aged' beer it kept saving it as an american lager. may be doing the same for other types.

Not sure if this was fixed by this morning or not, but I just did 3 wood aged beers and all saved just fine.

I guess i'll have to update my current version (2.0.172.390) One more thing, normally I receive tracking info in a timely manner. When I log on using IE it says it shipped Aug.17th but have not received tracking info yet and I checked my spam folder.
