I recently tried ordering some thiolized yeasts from Omega online, and I ran into some difficulties with the shipping, I had a very detailed and polite.

The A15 Independence yeast worked quickly and did a great job on the galaxy pond pale ale I made. The most important part about this company and the reason I am reviewing is the customer service. I wrote them an e-mail on a Saturday morning regarding a yeast I wanted to use that day in a brew and they replied in less than a hour. i had two more follow up e-mails that day and on the second one the owner decided to call me instead of e-mailing me back.

Along with having the things I needed for a couple wine ferments I'm doing, the owner went WAY above and beyond to help me with a beer project. He is like a brewery wizard and crafted a recipe for me to use the varieties of fresh hops I have in my garden. I'm excited to stop by there again - the value and knowledge was so beyond my expectations :)
