Buying locally is great but I find a lot more variety available on the
net. For example, I can buy acid blend locally but I can buy malic,
citric, or tartaric individually from other suppliers. Same holds
true for everything from yeast to bottles.

Based on comprehensive product line, price and service, who do you
esteem as the best online winemaking suppliers?

I've used Midwest Supplies a couple of times, and have been very happy
with the service. I used the web site the first time to place my
order, and then mailed them a check with the filled out order form the
site can print out. The second time I called in my order and it was
good too.

The only thing I recomend is ordering a catalog, as some of the stuff
can be hard to find on the site.

Hi Guys,
Try http://www.wineandbeerfactory.com, we are in Canada. We do not carry
every thing as we are a small home brew store. For some of you, who live far
away from the border the shipping cost maybe to high. We are in Ontario. We
do carry a lot of items used in wine and beer making.

I think that
www.thebrewshop.com
is pretty good, very friendly and UK based, but I am a bit biased!!

I've had excellent results with leeners:

The unique thing about them is that they sell pre-packaged mead kits as
well.

Now there's an offer that would be tough to beat!

WOW now that's what I call customer satisfaction!

Not really. Not when you consider that their prices are simply so high that
they can afford to offer "free" shipping. I'm quite familiar with this bunch
through my brewing activities. When I put together my keg fridge, I had to
mail order a lot of stuff like shanks, faucets, lines, etc. Here's some
comparative pricing (all in US dollars):

A faucet shank assembly costs $38 from B3 as it is commonly known. I paid
$24.
For a 3-way gas manifold B3 wants $37.50. I paid $22.
A draft system cleaning kit sells for $44 at B3. I paid $35.
A CO2 regulator from B3 is $55. I paid $37.

Still think it's free shipping? Of course, my kegging order has nothing to
do with winemaking supplies, but I'll bet if you hunt around you will find
better deals, even if you have to pay shipping costs.

Now, shall we talk about that free roll of film you get with your
developing... ;-)

Brian

PS If any brewers out there want to know where I got my stuff, the company
is http://www.simgo.com/ OK, the web site is atrocious, you'll have to call
for prices and they are in Canada. Still, probably save you some money.

I was just being a smart ass, Brian. The op didn't say anything about
shipping, just that orders were free. I knew what he meant, it just
looked funny. Guess it wasn't *that* funny.

I'll vouch for The Wine and Beer Factory. When I need supplies I go there,
which is not too often I'll admit lately :-( I am local however to their
Brampton store and their service and knowledge is the best, at least from my
experience.

I've enjoyed Presque Isle for additives, etc. and St. Pat's for gear (only
got a corker from them; others say they've had terrible experiences but my
brass jawed floor corker with crown capper attachment was around $75,
shipping included.)

Yes it was...

I like Presque Isle and Grape and Granary in the US. In Canada, I
have also used Musca.com but the corks were pretty awful; other
'pricier' stuff is hard to beat even with shipping due to the exchange
rate. I buy from others locally also, I like to spread it around.

Joe

I was going to make the same joke, but you beat me to it.

I got my crusher/destemmer and bladder press from St. Pat's in Texas,
and was completely satisfied with price & service.

I recommend Grape and Granary (http://www.thegrape.net/). Their web site is
very intuitive and easy to order from, the prices are competitive, and the
service is very good.

Gary, I scanned through your new website. Great job. I have been
"meaning" to compile that sort of info but you "did" it. Much
obliged. Looking forward to a thorough read through.

Cheers,

glad heart (Ps. 104:15)

Oh, I completely missed the op's grammatical faux-pas and your subsequent
humour. I guess I'm just so used to seeing butchered English from our help
desk that I've trained myself to read for context and ignore the actual
wording to preserve my own sanity. And it was funny.
