Looking for a decent online supplier

Having only placed one order, I can't add much, but I do want to note, in case it makes a difference, that Northern Brewer uses styrofoam packing peanuts. Lots and lots of them. I got my starter kit from them last night and, while the cats were thrilled with the "ball pit" to play in, I wasn't so happy to have so much styrofoam to throw out.

I would imagine smaller orders are packed without so many peanuts, but it would be nice if they'd consider using cellulose peanuts if they're going to use so many.

I wouldn't hesitate to order from them again, though, unless it was something likely to come in a gigantic box.

You can also reuse those peanuts by shipping samples of your favorite recipes to your buddies, and provide their cats with hours of static ball pit playtime!

Okay, Okay, I'm going to have to plug my LHBS now. 7 Bridges is located in Santa Cruz, CA and is known for being certified for organics. All of their ingredients (unless otherwise stated) are organic. I will say that they do not have the best selection or prices on equipment, but if you want to make a great organic beer, they have fresh, organic ingredients. I have seen that they are a little more pricey than some others, but all organic products are more expensive than others.

I don't think anyone but me will want a bottle of the first batch, which ought to go into primary tonight. :cross:

I gotta say, though, seeing the cats run around with styrofoam stuck to their noses was pretty funny.
