Home of the BrewNosers

I'm in Moncton and it seems that there's not a good place for supplies, where can I get this stuff?

- Munton's Extra Light DME 3 lbs.
- Rice Syrup Solids 1 lb
- Corn Sugar 1 lb
- 1oz Saaz Hops
- Saflager S-23 (lager Yeast)

Halifax

I'm not sure if I've seen rice syrup even at NG. If it was there, the price was probably not very attractive.

Hi Kevin,

Noble Grape in Halifax, Dartmouth, Sackvile, NS and Fredericton, NB will ship supplies to you. I've heard reports that the Fredericton store can be a pain to deal with, but the Dartmouth (Burnside) store is the heart of the operation and they know their stuff. FIre them an email/phonecall, and they will hook you up. I know at least one Amherst brewer who is on the NG delivery sheet. There is a Brewnosers discount, too!

As for "really" online locations, please check the vendors subforum for some suppliers who we've dealt with.

What's the latest on this one?

It's still in effect. The issue was nothing to do with the forums or "real" members, it was random people coming in and saying, "I read on yelp that there is a Brewnoser discount. I would like that." So if the new customer heard it from one of us directly, then the Bros have no problem with it. I was told nothing would change without warning us first, so we could get our ducks in a row.

I've bought that at the Quinpool location. It's used in their (my) gluten free recipe so unless the recipe is gone all stores should have it.

FWIW, you used to get corn sugar at Sobeys, and I was just at the Bulk Barn and they have it there. They even have brown rice syrup, lol. You can Lyle's Golden syrup at Sobey's or SS.

Have you tried any of the homebrew shops in moncton? There's the one over in dieppe by the the cdn tire, and there's another good one on Elmwood dr. (E & L). they may have something. The guy in dieppe gets some of his stuff from noble i do beleive. But if you go the noble grape route, just order from the burnside location directly yourself like others have suggested.

Speaking of Moncton HBS, Jmac, have you heard anything about the guy who was going to offer canning facilities in the shop?

Nope, never did stop in again to see if he followed through on his verbal jiberish...been a cpl yrs now i think.....just did't have a need to stop as i found better HBS and online vendors...lol.

Agreed. I think I've even occasionally seen specialty grains at the shop in Dieppe. I've only been in the place on Elmwood once. There's no mark-up on NG's shipping, just Canada Post rates - I usually get my stuff the next morning. You could probably tack on an extra day to Moncton or Saint John - that's still only 36 hours from the time you make the call.

Another thing to consider with shipping from NG...when i was in talking to them a couple yrs ago, they said they could ship heavier stuff via the bus....but with the bus being on strike still in NB, it would probably stop in Amherst...still not too far of a drive for you...but may work out the same price in the end if buying local from either of the homebrew shops in moncton...

It's good to hear we can get grains and brew supplies in Moncton, I hated that I might have to wait for a trip to Halifax. I have done extract brewing up to now and after reasearching I think that I am ready to adventure in to grain brewing.

I don't know where you live, but there's a growing group of guys in that area, look under the SAAZ section.

FWIW, I get deliveries to Cape Breton from NG in Burnside quite often. Typically, it's about $10 delivery charge on a 5 gallon all-grain order. It's usually here the next business day.

Wow .. next business day to CB? I place my order in Lower Sackville NG almost a week in advance ... and it is only coming from Burnside!

Any of my NB orders from Burnside arrive next business day as well. It's pretty much a waste of time dealing with the Fredericton location. Not because they are not helpful, but because they don't stock and AG supplies and have to order from Burnside anyways. No since getting it shipped to the Freddy location and then shipped to my house when I can have it shipped directly from Burnside to begin with.
