There is a place on Route 15 in Sussex county called North Jersey Homebrew that has ingrediemts. About 20 minutes north of the Rockaway Mall. Hope this helps.
@thirstyquaker Great news for me! So you're taking the old deli location? I'm on the same block. When do you open?
I could have used you there a month ago when a fly decided to make my starter his swimming pool. Had to make the long trip back to the city in search of new yeast.
I could have sworn we already gave an update to everyone, but I guess not. The big news is that we're open! We opened last Tuesday, and the first couple weeks are providing some good lessons in what people want in their LHBS/liquor store. A few things I've learned:
- Everyone loves 4 lb packs of PBW
- Nobody wants Budweiser or Coors
- There will always be someone asking for Heady Topper
- You can never have enough dry yeast
- A lot of people make up recipes on the fly when they arrive
- Once per day, someone will ask if we sell the beer we make
It's been fun so far, and with every day we're getting better and better. Today we got 40 new beers delivered! And the demand for growlers has been so intense that we're trying to get it set up ASAP, which means lots of rare and exciting beers.
Please stop on by, and tell your brewer friends about us. We've got really friendly, helpful staff on hand.

Our location has actually been empty for over 30 years, but we're a couple doors down from Monmouth St Deli, and they have some of the most incredible sandwiches.
