I'm very new to brewing, and I was just wondering if there is much "wiggle room" in terms of finding ingredients at different prices.
I've only been to my LHBS once (not to mention I'm only into my first batch of beer), but I got a decent idea of their prices. The cans of malt extract ranged from $18-$30 (along those lines), and then they had these small "kits" that they put together themselves that ranged from $25-$50. Unfortunately, I'm not entirely sure what comes with he kit, nor did I get separate prices on grains and hops.
I looked online at some outlets and they seemed comparable in pricing.
I guess what I'm asking is if you "bargain hunt" for the best prices on ingredients or not. Along those lines, do ingredient prices pretty much range about the same no matter where you buy?
