Los Angeles Home Brew Stores?

[scoob]

Does anyone know of a good place to go in the LA area to buy brewing supplies, or a place that lists locations. I have only gone to this small one by my apartment and all they have is the kits.

Thanks

I've heard of one in culver city, 10 min from LAX. It sounds pretty complete as far as merchandise goes.
Also, my nearest HBS is in Long Beach and has quite a bit of supplies--grain, extract, equipment, kits, lots o hops, etc. It's called steinfillers:

[Brewsmith]

I go to stein fillers as well. A great place. Where in LA are you? I'm in Torrance, but the drive to Long Beach isn't that far.

 

[Monk]

Steinfillers shouldn't be too far from anywhere in southern LA county, if that's where you are. If you're in pasadena...you'd better look into that hbs in culver city.
I'm right on the edge of OC, in Cypress. I'm going to steinfillers today, even though I don't have any reason to...

...I'm just gonna look around...really!

 

[Mike's Brew and Brat]

I go to Stienfillers too. From OC not far at all. They have great supplies and are very helpful.

I'm in Northridge, its considered in the city of LA, but I really wouldn't mind driving to Long Beach or the one by LAX.

thanks for the info

this is the one in Culver City.
I haven't been there but it may be worth a try.

Have you been to the Home Beer, Wine, Cheesemaking shop? They have everything you need. It is very close to you also.

Thanks for the help I'll try out the one in Woodland Hills first because its the closest

 

[Brewsmith]

Monk & Mike, we should trade brews. Give a heads up next time you're heading over there and I'll see if I can make it.

 

[Monk]

That would be nice. I'll let you know. Keep me posted if you're going, too.

 

[Mike's Brew and Brat]

will do Brewsmith. I may go over this Sunday. I am bottling my Kolsch tonight and need to get something in the Primary.

I'm originally from O.C.(before it was The O.C. (Westminster/H.B.) and about the only thing I miss being down in the South is the food, or rather the choice of food in California, oh and the weather!

Monk, I noticed you're in Cypress, my wife if from there and introduced me to a pretty good Thai restaurant in Cypress called Sweetie Thai. Ever eat there? We would eat there about three times a month. Miss it.


Now back to your regularly scheduled thread...

 

[Brewsmith]

I won't have a chance to get over there this weekend. We're having my son's 2nd birthday party on Sunday, so I'll be very busy. All of the middle of the week is out also. I'm going up to northern CA for work. Maybe next weekend.

 

[Monk]

I'm afraid I can't do Sunday, either. I could do next Friday evening, a bit before 6?

My fiance and I eat at Sweetie Thai regularly, too. it's quite good, you're right. I bet your wife and I know some people in common, even though our ages are different (I'm 29).

Ask your wife if she was a Centurion.

 

[Mike's Brew and Brat]

I have a business trip to Utah next week and won't get in till late Friday.
Let's all keep in touch and see if we can do it in the upcoming weeks.

 

[Monk]

Hey guys, I'm thinking of getting over to Steinfiller's this weekend. Maybe Saturday...anybody want to meet up and trade a homebrew?

monk

 

[Brewsmith]

What time? I think I might pick up some ingredients. I was just there today, but I still need grain.

 

[Monk]

I'll have to visit around opening time, between 11 and 12.

 

[Brewsmith]

I think I could make it work. I'll probably have to shoot for closer to 11.

 

[Monk]

That's better for me, actually. Let me confirm my schedule later today...after I get up in the morning and am thinking straight. I'll let you know before noon.

Brewsmith:

Okay, I'll be at Steinfiller's right around 11 am. I need some good yeast and maybe a couple of other things (hehe). Hope to see you (and anyone else...) there.

monk

 

[Brewsmith]

I'll have to be there closer to 11:30. I'll be busy from 10-11.

Culver City Homebrew Suppy is pretty good! I have bought all my equipment and ingredients here! Staff is pretty cool too! They even have classes!

 

[ndsgr]

Culver City is okay. The first time I went in, it was great. The second time, I had to wait for some guy to finish pitching his new idea for a soda machine to the clerk. The clerk clearly wasn't interested in ringing me up and let me wait a good 15 minutes. I would have walked out, but really wanted to brew that weekend. Also, watch the dates on any yeast you buy there.

Homebrew Wine and Cheese in woodland hills was great, but a little pricey. They had everything though.

*Edit: Holy ancient thread!!!

This is the third thread in a day that I posted or replied in 2006 that has been resurrected.

See here and here.

All I can really think of is that people are actually using the search function for once.

Stein Fillers is great. It's in Long Beach. I live in Vegas, but my sister lives in LA. Every time she drives to Vegas to visit, I have her pick up a few sacks of grain for me from them (free shipping! lol). I save $25 per sack doing it this way. My LHBS in Vegas wants $60 for a sack of 2-row and $70 for Maris Otter.. No thanks!
