I ordered a recipe a while back with less than one ounce of pale chocolate malt... Then I was a further pain by asking to have it packed separately from the rest of the recipe because I was only *really* going to use 3 grams of it. (Thanks, Ed!)

Edit: Oh, yeah... here's the beer. It turned out awesome!

I see your next up is Amarillo Imperial IPA. I looked on the BMW site and saw a Simcoe/Amarillo IPA but not an imperial one, have you uploaded it yet?

No, I haven't yet, but that seems like a worthwhile project. Give it an hour or so and I'll get it up there. I'll put "Amarillo Imperial IPA" somewhere in the name.

Edit: It's there. Note--I have not brewed it yet.

I've placed numerous orders from him over the last 3 months. They always ship promptly.

I've also had an instance in about every order where he was out of a part, like a hydrometer or a yeast strain(White Labs Kolsch). He doesnt let that hold him back and gets the order out with a replacement then resends the original at no cost to us. It is so refreshing to deal with someone who has a passion for this obsession.

I just experienced this with my last order. I'll be posting a detailed review when I get around to it, but the short version: Brewmasters Warehouse is a great company to buy from, and after one order, they've become my HBS of choice.

I justed wanted to let our extract brewers know that we are now offering Liquid Extract from a bulk source. This will allow us to have a great price on extracts $2.75 per pound, and allow extract brewers to take advantage of the brew builder without having to use cans. You can order extracts down to the ounce. We also now have Munich extract available.

 

[Eluna]

A little more info if you need it-
Carastan Malt

Characteristics

Carastan is a malt similar to Crystal malt produces by the Crisp Malting group in the UK. The flavor, is a bit more of a Toffee sort when compared to American Crystal.
The product is sold in ranges rather than one particular Lovibond value (13 to 17L and 30 to 37L.) When formulating a recipe, I always just take the average Lovibond value and use that.
Specifications

Typical Use : Specialty Malt
Lovibond : 13 to 37L and 30 to 37L
Flavor/Aroma : Toasty, Toffee
Styles : Browns, Ambers, and Porters

 

[Brewmasters Warehouse]

Well we do have this, which is very similar to Carastan. Same color and similar flavors, but maybe not the exact same thing.

I just had the pleasure of poking around your site. Very well done! I work in the web hosting industry and what you have done is a terrific idea. Ive been making wine for several years and am just starting my first batch of beer this week. I plan on doing extracts for a while, but will eventually move to all grain. Your site is very user friendly, clean, and easy for new brewers to use.

Hey Ed,

Not that it is slowing me down from ordering any as I love your site and service...but if you thought your order confirmation or shipment confirmation emails were fixed, I'd check with the geeks again

But still a great site...and of course I can always use the "Order History" section of My Account to see my tracking numbers anyway

 

[Ace_Club]

Ed,

Any plans on adding a search function to the website for searching through the mass of recipes? (It is possible that I'm entirely overlooking it if it's already there)

Yes there is a plan to have some nifty drill down tools, so you can find what you are looking for quickly and easily.

Thanks,

Ed

Really, damn I will have the web guys take a look at it. At least I am getting the contact form emails. On a funny note, when they fixed the contact form email last week, they decided to have themselves CCed on all of the incoming emails. That lasted for about 1 night, and they stopped because their Iphone was getting blown up all night long.

Thank you very much. With out new bulk purchased extracts most of our extract recipes costs have dropped 10-15%.

Just wanted to give props, where props are due. Ed, thanks for the great service and for the quick turnaround on the shipping. You now have one more repeat customer on your list.
One thing I would like to point out is the recipe selector that matches so many recipes on this site. I just ordered Ed Worts Heffe recipe with one click... no need to build it, it was already put together. Easy as brewing all-grain !!

Thanks again !

Thank you I appreciate it. That is one of the great things of the Brew Builder. We have a lot of HBT favorite recipes already on the website with more added everyday.

Thanks,

Ed

Just put my order in for specialty grains and a new barley crusher.
It's great that you have the store open for pickup orders!

Just got my second order from BMW today. Made a starter tonight, gonna get working on one of the three brews I ordered. Just ridiculously stupid prices, how the hell do you stay in business. My (physical) LHBS charges $2/lb for grains and $8 for Wyeast. Your prices are, well, I'm not used to them!

Oh, and super fresh yeast. March 23, 2010. Seriously? 10 day old yeast, and that includes 3 days to ship from GA to MA. That, my friend, is impressive.

I look forward to seeing what my efficiency is. My LHBS has a not-so-good crush, I've maxed out at 70%, usually get 65%. When I crush my own grain in a Corona mill, I've had up to 80% (and this was brew-in-a-bag, I've moved to a proper cooler tun since.)

Thanks a lot for the nice comments. We stay in business because of people like you giving us rave reviews. The 10 day old yeast is pretty cool though. We buy yeast just about every week, from both Wyeast and White Labs, and we sell a ton of it, so freshness is not usually an issue.

Good luck with your brew, I hope it turns out wonderful.

Thanks,

Ed

Ed's crush is superb. I get 78-82% eff. Double batch sparge. 10 gallon Rubbermaid Igloo MLT. I just placed an order for a DIPA, Imp Stout, and Scottish Ale. I have made 12 AG batches so far thanks to BMW's service. My packages all arrived in 2 days. I just tooled with brew builder for the first time. I used to order bulk and weigh my grains out but that ended up with me having left over crushed grain. So brew builder gets a +5 in my book and with my efficiency being solid, I have to give BMW a shout out.

Keep up the good work Ed.

 

[Ace_Club]

Ed,

How long is your bulk liquid extract good for (in the unopened container that it ships in)?

I would put it in a fridge, and if you can it would be good for 2-3 weeks without any issues.

Thanks,

Ed

 

[Brewmasters Warehouse]

Some of the new products that have arrived over the last week or so.

Blichmann Hop Blocker

Danstar Munich Yeast

Ranco 2 Stage Temp Controller

6 Gallon PET Carboy

SS Racking Cane

Sorghum Syrup

Some other odds and ends but those are the highlights with more on the way.

Thanks,

Ed

I also get 78-80% efficiency with a double batch sparge from the BMW crush. And... I mash in a bag in my bottling bucket (just use lots of blankets to trap the heat). Every brew has received very positive comments.

 

[jalgayer]

I am wondering if there is a better way for me to pick a recipe? There are just SO many... and I am not sure which are good. Are the comments from people that brew the recipes?
For example if I am looking for an American IPA there are 80 of them... Other sites will have their own version and maybe a commericial clone... where do I even start to try to pick from 80? Thanks!

I can totally understand how difficult it can be to pick a recipe. We are working on getting some tools installed to help with the process. Recipes that have comments and ratings are a good way to start. You can also go with the Shoultz-Meyer Brewery recipes if you are unsure. That is my brewery and I can say those beers will be very good. You can also look at just recipes from a specific brewery by clicking the link next to brewery at the bottom of the page from any recipe (excluding Anon).

Hope this helps,

Ed

+1 on everything said so far. I ordered all of my stuff for my kegerator from Ed last week. He let me know that it shipped on Saturday. Geographically, Ed is about 4,500 miles from me. Track and confirm is letting me know it will be delivered TODAY. That's 3 days. I was getting quotes of over $200 for shipping on the EXACT SAME ORDERS from other vendors. Ed - $10.20. Thanks a ton for all the help and great business. Add another lifetime customer to the list!
