Greetings from the better half of the state. Congrats to both of you on your new addiction, and welcome to HBT. It's a great place to learn.

Glad to hear it is a good place to learn because certainly I have a lot to learn.

Kevstl,

Where do you buy your supplies?

 

[KevStL]

I ordered the equipment online, but I've been going to Friar Tucks on Watson in Crestwood to get more stuff - I was told FT is where to go for price, and St. Louis wine & beermaking in Chesterfield is where to go for knowledge. I will get out there one of these days. Im also going to check out Worms Way on Warson.

I have looked at the Friar Tucks in Fenton and the prices are a little better than at St. Louis Wine and Beer. You are right about the good advice there. I have made some of my purchases on line and some there I guess because I feel an obligation to do business with them after I pick there brains.
