I started homebrewing as a hobby about a year ago and was ordering most of my supplies online, which bugs me because I don't like the environmental impact of shipping nor the added cost. I tried out a couple of the other homebrewing supply stores in the area and found them to be overpriced compared to what was online, but more so, they rarely had what I needed in stock. Even after I'd ask them to stock something, they'd somehow never get around to it. And when I asked for advice, half the time they were just flat wrong with what they had advised me to do. Then I finally checked out E.J. Wren's shop. While it's a little further from my house than the competition and not open as often as I'd like, it's got the best prices, the best stock, and the most helpful, friendly and -- above all -- accurate advice of any homebrewing shop in the area. I highly recommend E.J. Wren's for all your homebrewing needs. read more
