I started homebrewing in about 2009? Haven't brewed in about 7 years and am getting back into it to feed my creative side. Back then I got EVERYTHING from Northern Brewer. They had a good youtube channel, good gear, good ingredients etc. I am well aware of Chip, Dawson, Jake moving on etc but today I was on Northern Brewer's site and they're basically out of stock of every all-grain recipe kit. Is NB still in business and I just happened to catch them at a bad time or are they basically a zombie company and I need to find a new retailer?
I don’t remember ever ordering from Northern Brewer, so I can’t compare how they were against how they are now. Their latest video on their youtube channel is about 4-months old. Up until then it looks like they released about 4 – 5 each month. Maybe they stopped those as well as all-grain kits? They still have extract kits, yeast, equipment, etc. Regarding all-grain kits it seems you have no choice other than moving on to a different retailer if you’re wanting to brew soon. Have you contacted them? Like @JackHorzempa, I'd also vote for MoreBeer.
I haven’t brewed in 4 years either… but Ritebrew is what I used frequently for online orders. They are in Wisconsin and I was always happy with the quality https://www.ritebrew.com/default.asp
