Hopefully this isn't too much of a thread dumpster dive... figured I'd add my thoughts to an existing thread.
I've read a lot of negative comments about Corrado's, so I had to see for myself. I'm still a newb, and wanted to check out some equipment and ingredients first hand.
Just visited Corrado's Winemaking and Home Brewing Center in Clifton, NJ just before Thanksgiving 2011. They certainly were stocked up nicely on homebrew equipment. Their yeast refrig was good and full as well, and had all the familiar strains everyone talks about on here. For whatever reason, they also had A WHOLE MESS OF GIFT BASKETS FULL OF EVERYTHING UNDER THE SUN, AND THEY WERE EVERYWHERE!!!!
Aside from that, they had the usual 10ft lengths of different tubes, and fittings, and connections. Didn't know if the "small", "medium", or "large", drilled stopper would fit in my carboy... I chose small and got lucky. They had a bunch of different sanitizers, but no Star San. They had bottles, caps, bottle drier racks, and other bottling equipment.
As far as ingredients go, I don't do all grain yet so didn't pay huge attention, but it seemed they were stocked up fairly well on a lot of the specialty type grains (1lb, 4lb bags), different add-in flavors, other add-ins, etc., along with 1lb and 4lb bags of corn sugar, lots of different types of malt extracts,etc... but I didn't see where I could buy in bulk??? maybe I missed it. Their hops packets were also plentiful.
So, if you know what you want, and are in a hurry, they likely have it, or so it seems... but it's North NJ so it comes with the North NJ tax (read: it just costs more here). Just don't look for Star San, or bulk grain... but again, maybe I missed that part. Oh, and the 90 year old fellow stocking extract kits was very nice in a very slow kind of way, and the guy running the show smoked a little too much of that illegal brand of hops that day, if you know what I mean. At least he remembered to give me the screen to the funnel I bought.
