Brewmasters Warehouse

[nostalgia]

I tried it on Chrome and Firefox on Windows, and Firefox on Linux and also cannot duplicate the problem.

I did get a pop-up complaining about security certificates on my Linux machine, so maybe the folks having trouble could try temporarily lowering their Internet security settings to see if it fixes the issue.


I do have an unrelated question: is there any way to search for a recipe instead of just browsing categories? The main search doesn't seem to search the recipe database, and I don't always know what category I want.

Like trying to remember if a grain is Roasted, Highly Kilned, Specialty or Caramel, which still drives me absolutely bananas when trying to build a recipe.

Do you sell gift certificates? If not, are there plans in the works to make this option available? The gift giving season of Christmas is coming up and Gift certificates to homebrew supply stores is always high on my list. I'd hate for you to miss out on some of that action.

Thanks!

We do not have them currently on the site, but we will soon. I am trying to see what is the best way to work out the GC purchases.

Thanks,

Ed

The problem may well be caused by a weird problem with the SSL cert. We are doing everything we can to get it fixed as soon as possible. Anyone that is worried about the SSL cert it is good until Oct 2010, so no need to worry.

Searching the recipes is coming along with drill down tools for recipes so you can sort by specific preferences. We just need some more reviews to ensure that everything is working properly.

Another excellently packaged order arrived at my door this morning. Looking forward to brewing my tart cherry witbier this weekend!

I have been trying since I was first notified, but have been unable to reproduce this issue. If you could please tell me (specifically) which version of OSX you are using as well as which browser versions (Safari / Firefox) you are running, I will be more than happy to setup a test case.

Any additional information you could provide such as the name of your ISP, your home network configuration (proxy server?) or any additional plugins/toolbars or firewalls you are using would be helpful as well.

I need to determine when (and why) the cookie is being purged from the browser in order to best develop a solution to this issue.

If you folks changed anything since my last post, it worked. I tried three times on two different browsers that night, and it wouldn't work on any of them.

Now I can't get it to happen again on any browser. I even tried two machines that I've never browsed the site from before...

I had nothing to do with it, but that is awesome. Give Ed a chance to show you what he is good at (running a HBS) and i guarantee you wont be disappointed.

That is what I like to hear. We had some things done to the site to fix the issue so hopefully no one else has any problems, but if you do please let me know. We can only fix what we know is wrong.

Thanks,

Ed

The root cause of this was actually the SSL warning that was appearing in OSX. Safari (and apparently Firefox on OSX) reject the cookie on SSL secured pages that it can't verify.

The root cause of the SSL issue was some funkiness with the way GoDaddy issues their SSL certs. Basically to verify all the way back to GD we had to install an SSL chain with root certificates from GD.

Thanks again for all the info you provided and I apologize again for any inconvenience this may have caused. I don't anticipate this problem happening again unless we have to change hosting providers for some unforeseen reason (or Ed forgets to renew the cert).

Please also rest assured that even though the cert couldn't (previously) be properly verified by these browsers, your communication with our server was still protected by 256-bit encryption and that our website was (and is) 100% secure.

Thanks again!

I am very pleased to announce that our long struggle to open to customers in Georgia is as of now over. Effective immediately we are shipping to customers within Georgia and have an instore pickup option for local customers.

We are in the process of changing the store over from a stricty online operation to a full blown retail location. We will have regular retail store hours coming very soon. If you are in the area you can stop by and we will of course take care of you, just please do not mind all of the rearranging taking place.

I want to especially thank everyone that has ordered from us, and signed the petition. This was resolved due to the tremendous growth that we have had over the time we have been open. Without you guys none of this would have happened.

Now it is time for some:

Thank You,

Ed

^^&^&^$#&^$#$& Hell Yeah Ed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Rick500]

Great news!

Next time I drive through Georgia I'll try and stop by.

Edit: In fact, I will be driving through Georgia on the way to Florida in a couple of weeks.

 

[brew hoperator]

Great news for you and the homebrewers in Georgia!

 

[user 29674]

YES! Its about time. Congrats. I have some stuff I need to pick up that I haven't had the time to drive from Kennesaw to Roswell for.

 

[Duckfoot]

Woot Woot!!!!

Time for the Dance of Joy!!!!

 

[HossTheGreat]

That's awesome. Congrats Ed.

 

[Brewmasters Warehouse]

That's awesome. Congrats Ed.

Thank you and thank you to everyone that has helped make this happen.

Especially for people like you Hoss that were not able to use us in the past.

Ed

 

[Hugh_Jass]

Just a quick note of congratulations, Ed.

Prost!

I should take some. I need to put away a lot of product that we received today. I stocked up on a lot of things to make sure we had stuff for the local peeps. 7 pallets worth of stuff today.

 

[flyangler18]

So. Farkin'. Awesome.

Time to start a new thread, topic: "Brewmasters Warehouse is open!!! (and Georgia too)"

Cheers,

So when can we expect a New Jersey location of Brewmasters Warehouse? :cross:




j/k, your online service can't be beat. Congrats to Ed and the folks in Georgia!

 

[keelanfish]

Ed, I'll be placing an order for in store pickup soon! Very exciting.

I think Ed really lives in NJ..How the hell do I place an order and in 2 days its at my door! I can't get stuff from NY here that fast.

 

[greenbirds]

This is great to hear. I travel up toward Atlanta now and then and will definitely take advantage.

Ed, do you plan on selling bulk grain (e.g. 55 lb bags) cheaper for in-store pick up?

 

[bernerbrau]

You know what I would find awesome with the brew builder? A page that has a copy-pasteable report of the recipe and its stats. I design most of my beers over there now and I always have to spend time editing the text when I copy and paste it over here.

Just a suggestion. Keep up the great work, and congratulations on the store. If I'm ever in Atlanta I'll definitely swing by.

 

[Gremlyn]

Awesome Ed, congrats!

Thank you to everyone.

That is a good idea for a nice report for the recipe. I think it is something we could certainly do. I will put it on the list.

Thanks,

Ed

BubububUUUUMP!

How's it going over there Ed?
