So far I've been getting my grains at noble grape in halifax. I live in Cape Breton and Im wondering where anyone in cape breton has been getting their grains and hops? Noble grape will ship for 10+$ depending on weight, is there a better place I can order from because they seem to have very reasonable and competitive prices on alot of things.

Everwood Ave Brew Shop is also available, although I can't recall what his shipping rates are.

I visited him for the first time a couple weeks ago at the shop when I was in Halifax. Great guy and selection, I bought a pound of Nelson Sauvin from him. I guess I was hoping for somewhere that could ship me bulk grains with free shipping...

Try Jason Spears at Grape and Grain, Port Hawkesbury Mall. That is where I get most of my supplies. Really knowledgeable too and his prices are similar to grapes.

There is always folks heading back and forth to Cape Breton. Brewnosers make good mules. I'll be heading up in a few weeks

I am making trips the next 2 months. Order and depending on the volume we should be able to get your stuff to you.

The group buy is on.

Hi Rob. I keep some grains and hops in the shop in Port Hawkesbury. I always try to have a couple of bags of 2-row, pilsner, Maris Otter and wheat. I don't move enough to set up wholesale accounts, so I just buy from Bestcase wholesale at a bit of a discount and sell it at the same price that Noble Grape charges.

I am trying to get some malt from Horton Ridge in stock. Stay tuned.

If you can wait until I bring in a stocking order (usually once per month) I can get you any ingredients you want from Noble Grape and will not charge you shipping.

We carry a good selection of dry yeast and have some liquid yeasts from escarpment labs plus all the regular homebrew supplies.

Cheers
Jason
