And this is why I needed to join this forum. It's threads like this that will go a long way for a brewer new to the country. I've checked a lot of sites for my supplies. I've tried the pitiful few places near(ish) me. I thought I was doing well buying my base malts straight from the maltster. But after seeing these reviews and checking out the site, I find that even with delivery it's only slightly more than the base price per sack - which I'd either have to drive to pick up or pay a much steeper price for shipping.
I will certainly give this shop a try. Based on what I am seeing though, it seems I am back in business as usual. Great prices on yeast, base grain, specialty grain and hops. Assuming the delivery he uses can find my house this should work out well.
When I first moved over I was going to brew up a partial mash and extract batch, long before our shipping container arrived. So I ordered from one of the online brew stores and never received the order or notice from them. When I called I got a rude response. Needless to say I canceled my order and never bothered with them. It turned out that their delivery service couldn't find my home so returned it to sender. I would have expected some kind of notice from the shipper, I chalked it up to cultural differences. At any rate that was the ONLY time in the last 18 months I've had a problem with something being delivered here.
Oh yeah, thank you all for this thread. I will certainly be using this retailer and likely no one else.
