I almost always try to use my LHBS for everything (even though they are a bit higher on all products).. I have also asked what are the highest margin products and buy those when needed
Almost 20 years brewing and I've never bought any supplies on line except my refractometer and one no weld brew pot temp gauge. I don't like the idea of buying grain without seeing it or tasting a new one. Plus the info I get from my LHBS is invaluable. As far as price I have looked and compared. No different AND I'd have to pay extra for shipping. Buy local, brew local.
For grains you just can't beat the bulk prices of on-line eveb with shipping. Plus i worry about how fast the lhbs goes through product.
I know the owners of 4 local micro-breweries that will all sell me full sacks at cost. The bigger guys are too busy to bother.For grains you just can't beat the bulk prices of on-line eveb with shipping. Plus i worry about how fast the lhbs goes through product.
