Home Brew Yellow Pages
Question:
Sp These are from various contributors. I’ve tried to acknowledge the Sp source, either at the beginning or end of each sub-list. Here’s another one: Big Basin Brewing Company, Boulder Creek, California 95006 (410) 338-1907, (800) 509-BREW. It’s run by Doug Henslee, a friendly and knowledgeable *brewer.* I visit him at his shop in Boulder Creek for everything I need for all-grain brewing, including some off-beat rye and wheat beers I’ve made. Anyway, I know he also has a mail-order business. His prices are good, and I like visiting the store. I don’t know his exact address (sorry). It’s on Highway 9 in "downtown" Boulder Creek — which is *very* small. So far I’ve tried four stores on "the Peninsula" in the Bay Area, and I like BBBC, and its service, the best. … Catch the Blue Wave! ___ Blue Wave/QWK v2.11

Hello fellow r.c.b.’ers and r.c.w.’ers!
(deleted) I have come up with the idea of compiling the Home Brew Yellow Pages to solve this problem. The basic purpose is to list suppliers around the U.S. (by area code) for use by the r.c.b. and r.c.w. communities. If there is enough interest, I might expand it to other countries such as Canada and U.K.
(deleted) This seems like a good idea. However, some participant in this group already maintains a list of suppliers-with-"800"-numbers. I can’t recall who it is, but the list appears here from time to time; perhaps you and the author should put your heads together on this. Also, be aware that this won’t be a one-time project, but an ongoing effort as stores open, close, and change their offerings. Seems like a bit of a project, but if you have the time and energy to put into maintaining such a list, it would be a good net.resource to have. A couple of notes on the information format: 1) it would be good to know whether or not the store does mail-order; 2) the "hours" field should include a time zone. Gaetano, I’ll mail you my supplier’s info as soon as my computer gets off the phone so I can call to check their hours. Good luck with the compilation! -Chris

I shop at aplace here in Austin which does more mail order than local business. (Iactually worked there on and off all year depending on Lynne’s needs. Thestore is called St. Patrick’s of Texas, and their E-mail address is 12922 Staton Dr. Austin, TX 78727. Tel (512) 832-9045. Lynne O’Connor is the owner. She is a very nice and helpful person,and she has some of the best prices in the country on many items (ofcourse, shipping costs depend on where you live, but you should at least geta catalog regardless of where you are. Best of luck to you and hopeyou get the car running again soon. As far as disclaimers go, I like the owner of St. Pat’s, I do sometimes work there so I guess I’m not impartial… I have a supply house that I can recommend very highly, in terms of quality, value (very low prices and shipping), customer service and efficiency. The company is very small yet they produce a very informative and complete catalogue. Enough! Here’ sthe info: William’s Brewing 2594 Nicholson St. P.O. Box 2195 San Leandro, CA 94577 P.S.

Taylor Standlee Department of Germanic & Slavic Languages & Literatures Phone: (805)-893-2131 FAX: (805)-893-2374 Actually, being at Argonne, you have two really good local choices so that you can avoid mail-order. The first is the place where I buy my stuff. My supplier, Greg Lawrence, operates a shop out of his basement. He keeps a goodstock of grains and extracts, and I do over ninety percent of my businesswith him. He makes a good attempt to match his competitors’ prices(and has been quite successful at it, might I add.) The address/phone is: Lil’ Olde Winemaking Shoppe 4 S 245 Wiltshire Lane Sugar Grove, IL 60554 (708) 557-2523 Just give him a call and ask for a catalog. Another good choice is Al Korzonas’ Sheaf and Vine in Countryside. Al rents space in the Main Street Deli and Liquor Store. Hedoesn’t have as much space as Greg does, so his in-store selection isnot as good, but he is a very knowledgeable brewer. Again, I prefer dealing with Greg because he is closer, his prices are lower, and he’s a good buddy of mine, but Al will not steer you wrong. You can rest assured that with either you will get good stuff for a good price.

Hello fellow r.c.b.’ers and r.c.w.’ers! Have you noticed one of the most frequently asked questions that is not handled by the r.c.b. and r.c.w. faqs is "Where is the nearest supply?" I have come up with the idea of compiling the Home Brew Yellow Pages to solve this problem. The basic purpose is to list suppliers around the U.S. (by area code) for use by the r.c.b. and r.c.w. communities. If there is enough interest, I might expand it to other countries such as Canada and U.K. To get started, however, I need your help. Please submit to information is requested: Name Address City, State, Zip Phone (Voice, Order line, FAX etc.) E-mail (Internet or other service) Hours Proprietor’s name Payment methods (other than cash i.e. credit cards) Other pertinent info (such as "Carboy distributor" etc.) Thanks in advance. — DISCLAIMER: The views expressed are my | Some people like cupcakes. own.
