Where to buy?

Tue Jul 31, 2007 9:34 pm

I'm curious if anyone has any suggestions on where the best place to buy ingredients on the internet is. The problem I have is the only place that sells any ingredients in my town is a wine making store. The store is 98% wine making products and very few beer making supplies. They claim I can order anything throgh them at same or cheaper prices. That might be great, however I find I can only ask them very basic questions on ingredients and beer brewing questins since they mainly focus on wine.

Thanks guys

make sure your order is over $59 so you can get free shipping. I wish I could take advantage of this offer, but I'm in Canada...

I use both MoreBeer and Northernbrewer. There are a few things that one or the other store (example would be some difference in specialty grains) don't carry or there's a benefit using one over the other. Examples: I order my liquid yeast from NB because it's one day shipping (if you order noon one day you will get it the next day) for ground orders where I live (NW Iowa) versus 5 days from MoreBeer. I also order my sacks of grain from NB because the shipping is less (plus it still cost less than round trip to Des Moines or Omaha). I use MoreBeer for hardware and specialty grains mainly. Always wait until I have an order big enough for the free shipping.

Also Willams Brewing in California isn't bad...
but based on your location I would go with Northern Brewer, then B3, then the others depending on price and what you need etc.
