More praise for Northern Brewer

[todd_k]

So I placed an order yesterday for some pellet hops; 1# Centennial, 1oz Amarillo, 1oz Summit, and some Star San. Well, stupid me clicked on Target instead of Summit so I called a left a message last night to swap the 2. I got an e-mail today with the UPS tracking # so I called NB again to see if they swapped the hops. The guy tells me he threw in the Summit and left in the Target! It's only $1.10 but still, I thought that was awesome. :rockin:

That is pretty cool!

I was actually up at the store yesterday. I still can't believe how small the actual store is. But they sure have a nice selection of ingredients and equipment.

I did have one problem though--SWMBO noticed 2 charges on the Mastercard...one for the $111 bucks I spent, and another for $285 that I didn't spend. She was pissed. I'm going to have to call tomorrow and see what the heck that was.

Did you REALLY not spend that money? C'mon, secret's safe with us...






(what'd you get, huh? huh?)

I liked the Summit...use it sparingly though! I used half an ounce for bittering and my IPA is plenty bitter...but really good stuff!

No.....I'm pretty stupid, but I know that would have gotten me killed. She'd have had a Tomahawk missile shot from the Persian Gulf into my hotel room.

It is amazing how fast 100 bucks can go at that place though. I bought a bunch of stainless fittings and other odds and ends. Nothing exceptionally cool.

Psst. I just spend $100 there this morning (OK, online), and I got four cornies, a pound of hops, and some other crap.

I'm really hoping this gets delivered on a day that the wife's at school; we just had "the talk" about gear accumulation, but I know I'll need more than three kegs (that I'm getting from sailman) and it was too good a deal to pass up.

Cool on the freebie hops!

Dude, I needed some stuff and just had them tack it on your card.

HAHAHHAHA, that's awesome, my wife works when the mail gets here and I work from home, so I can unload packages and put with my other brewing stuff and she has no idea.

But, when I notice some packages with clothes in them (old navy, american eagle, etc.) I bitch and moan for her not telling me she ordered them. I feel kind of bad, but she wears the damn things like 1 time and I never see it again.

Don't worry Bird, I won't say a thing about your "spree" when I come up next Sunday.
