Buying Ingredients

Northern Brewer

Purchased online on Mar 25, 2014 at Northern Brewer :

• 2 x Hop Head Farms Magnum Pellet Hops 1 oz each (total of 2 ounces) - $3.99 per ounce
• Franco-Belges Kiln Coffee - 1 lb. unmilled - $1.99 per pound

Titgemeier's

Rest of the ingredients purchased at Titgemeier's Beer and Wine Making Supplies :

On Mar 26, 2014, I purchased all of the remaining ingredients including the 6.5 gallon fermenting bucket and the airlock. The only exception: Titgemeier's only had one package of the yeast, so I purchased the other package from Northern Brewer. The tracking for yesterday's order showed the package should arrive on Thu, Mar 27. So hopefully, today's one-item order arrives on Friday or Saturday. If not, then I'll inquire about plan B for the rest of the yeast. The grains purchased at Titgemeir's were milled at the store and placed together in one sack. I ordered the Franco-Belges unmilled. Today's Titgemeier's shopping cost a little over $70.
