Terrible. For the second time in a row part of my order was not delivered, which was 4 boxes of Kenridge Shiraz at £46 each. Worst still, I was told by the guy at Home Brew Shop was "you've had part of your order so its not the end of the world…" Many phone calls from me chasing and no enthusiasm to sort out the problem from The Home Brew Shop. I've been a regular monthly customer of theirs for years…I guess I expected better treatment. Worst still I received an email asking for a review so I basically wrote what I have above, only to receive a 5 chapter ranting response pointing the finger at me and how he couldn't see what he'd done wrong. This bloke is a piece of work and has no idea how to speak to or communicate with customers.
Great service when ordering online as usual A+. Shame about Paul, the guy that runs front of house and answers the phone, he on the other hand is unhelpful and rude. When I asked how the lactic acid solution works he answered "well how should I know, I'm not a chemist". I know that mate but as you work in the shop I would have thought you might have an inkling of how to use the stuff.
Ordered a ball valve tap system and Bazooker Hop Strainer. Price was as good or better than others I researched, the choice of set up was second to none, i. E. Able to buy individual components or the full set up and the service was fantastic. Goods arrived the following day, well wrapped and in good order. Would use again and recommend without hesitation.
I have only just got into home brewing and I was concerned about the temperature of my brew being too cold. I came across this site looking for ways to keep it warm, which I found the immersion heater. I decided to call the shop for advice around this and if it would fit my fermentation equipment. After speaking to an expert I was given advice that it's not needed for what I am brewing. So instead of being sold something I didn't need costing me money, I got some great advice. I however still placed an online order quite late in the day expecting it to be delivered in a few days, but to my astonishment I was notified I would receive it within 24 hours. I will defiantly be returning to the site and recommend anyone wanting to start home brewing.
I have been dealing with The Home Brew Shop for about four years and keep on going back. They have provided a superb service. My home brewed wine from them is legendary. I often test guests by giving them a glass of home brewed wine alongside one bought from my local off licence. Their preconception is that home brewed wine must be awful; however when they taste it they can't tell the difference. The only difference is the price and it is much more fun 'brewing up'.
I've had three orders with this company in the last year and have had great service every time. The range of products they have mean that I only have to go to the one place for all ingredients. Other Home Brew shops sometimes have good stock on one type of ingredients but not another; the Home Brew Shop however has always had exactly what I've needed in stock. For this order, I was buying ingredients for three complicated recipes and again they had everything in stock. Time wise, I ordered the ingredients on Wednesday afternoon, received notification that they were dispatched on Thursday afternoon and they were delivered to my house Friday morning. Delivery was free which is a bonus, and they use a reliable courier which again is a plus. I cannot fault anything with my experience.
