Mr. Beer was having a BOGO sale on starter kits. I ordered 2 so I can get 2 free. All orders over $75 ships free. My order is way above that. They want to charge me $80 for shipping though. Sent several emails asking about it but no reply back in 3 days. Not a happy camper.
Instead, I ordered a NB start up package. Buckets, 5 gallon kettle, and other stuff that comes with it. Might as well do 5 gallon extract recipies.

Re: Changing Plans
If you sent emails over the Thanksgiving holidays, there's a chance they were all off. I'm not sure shipping would be $80 even if there was no free shipping but I'm pretty sure if you keep trying, they will get back to you.
You would save money brewing larger volumes but I would suggest you get your experience with smaller volumes first. The NB starter package is a great start.
Good luck.

Yes that is a good way to start out. If a hydrometer is not included in the kit I would suggest getting one and also some Star San or other sanitizer. Good luck and keep us informed on your brewing.Beer-lord wrote:The NB starter package is a great start.

Re: Changing Plans
Thanks. Going to my local homebrew store tomorrow to get a few more items. I can not order from NB because of the high shipping charges. I live in Anchorage Alaska. Even though it is the main hub here it does not cost more to ship here. But companies charge more anyways. Anything I buy I get on amazon for the free shipping.berryman wrote:Yes that is a good way to start out.

Mr. Beer is closed on weekends, probably closed since Weds.
I have over 9,000 posts on "another forum", which means absolutely nothing. Mr. Beer January 2014 Brewer of the Month with all the pomp and circumstance that comes with it...
