One other review took the words right out of my mouth, I refuse to shop anywhere else for my home brew needs. Don't stop at brewing beer, Kirby has just about everything for home fermentation. Want to make cheese, cider, mead, wine, kombucha? He has kits and equipment for everything.
With years of experience Kirby has always provided excellent advice so I won't be disappointed with my first brews.

I had brought my son along, he got a book on Artisan Distilling, they had a very good inventory, I also got an equipment cleaning solution that was exactly what I was looking for. Highly recommend checking this...
