2/14/12 - Quick note. Ordering a sight glass cleaning brush will delay your order for a few days. We're waiting for the next lot to arrive.

2/11/12 - Just like everyone else, we've sold out of Camlock Type F's pretty quickly. Should have more next week. Most of the newer items we've added are featured at the bottom of this page. Most notably, we've packed thousands of feet of silicone tubing into our small inventory space. We agreed with our customers that selling camlocks and hose barbs is silly without offering the tubing to go with it.

1/17/12 - We're finally getting closer to normal shipping turnarounds but at the same time got caught with a few items being out of stock. Those affected have been notified and we'll be fully stocked very soon on mostly everything. New stuff? Plenty... because we're crazy like that. Heat shields are available in limited supply. We also have stainless Dip Tubes in a full 5/8" outside diameter for no-restriction flow. Lastly, we've just introduced a new adjustable height mash return tube for recirculating systems and sparging (also available in weldless).

1/6/11 - NOTICE: The shop is going to be closed between 1/7/12 and 1/13/12. Sorry for the inconvenience. You may browse the entire site and the cart will still work, but be aware that orders will not be processed until 1/13 at the earliest. There may be delays due to a shipping backlog.

12/20/11 - As we wind down the last week of the year, we wanted to say thank you to all our customers that helped get the business off the ground in 2011. To say we were unprepared for the holiday order rush would be an understatement but we're proud to say that no orders were neglected for any significant amount of time. We still have a few giveaway calendars as discussed below.

12/16/11 - You are now in the danger zone of potentially not getting items in time for Christmas if you order. Order volume is extremely high (thanks for that) and orders that came in today will probably ship Monday. Locations outside of major USPS hubs will probably have longer than the estimated 2-3 days via Priority. I'll do my best to get the stuff out but I will not guarentee that shipments will arrive by next Friday.

12/9/11 - Ok, let's talk about realistic holiday shipping expectations. USPS has been really bogged down lately now that even grandma is ordering all her gifts from online retail shops. It's extremely difficult to estimate how long Priority Mail is going to take. It's probably best to get your orders in by 12/15 to be sure you get the shipment by 12/23.

In the meantime, we just got in a case of stainless compression fittings and we're selling them for less than any other shop while supply last. We also just started stocking CAMLOCK quick disconnects. For those looking for Stainless Dip Tubes, they are now options for the Weldless 2 and 3 piece ball valves.

11/24/11 - Hoppy Thanksgiving everyone. I know every other retailer is promoting crazy black Friday deals so we figured it was time to jump on the bandwagon. Beginning at midnight tonight (or Friday morning if you like), any order that contains a sight glass of any variety AND is over $100 (before tax and shipping) will also include a FREE Homebrew Dayz homebrewer's wall calendar. The calendar is being sold at other homebrew retailers for $10 or more so it's like getting a 10% discount on your order.This deal will continue to the end of the year or until I run out of calendars. Each month on the calendar, you'll find hints and tips as well as suggestions on what to brew. 

 HOLIDAY GIFT IDEAS? "Homebrewer" Tee Shirts can't lose if you don't know anything about homebrewing but your recipient is obsessed. Every brewer can use a digital thermometer, even if they already have one they will appreciate the spare. The Brewer's Precision Toolkit is also great for a brewer who is reaching the intermediate phase of brewing where we'll be buying hops in bulk, making up recipes, or just starting out with all grain brewing. If you need some help figuring it out, use the contact link or you can also buy a gift certificate at the bottom of the page.
