It's a shame about home brew online.
I also got an email from brew2bottle today. They have already moved to a new warehouse.
Here's a copy of the text in the email they sent me.

Good evening! Just a heads up that the Brew2Bottle website will be unavailable due to scheduled maintenance on Tuesday 5th July at 11:00am.

After our warehouse move we have decided it’s time for a freshen up, so keep your eyes open for brand new deals and products once we are back up and running. We are aiming to have the website back up and available on the same day, so we shouldn’t have too much down time.

Thanks for your understanding and sorry for any inconvenience!

It's a strange one.They recently had cracking deals on mangrove jack kits with free enhancer packs.I bought two and the kits that had sold out were replenished with more stock within a week or so.

I wonder if its a case of people tightening their belts and too many home brew shops online competing for our cash, i don't spend much online as i get my kits from my local Range store but i have used Brew2bottle, GetErBrewed, Home Brew Online and a couple of others, i guess most of us shop around for the best deal and as profit margins must be very tight it wouldn't take much to push them over the edge.

Surely people won’t pay £7 or £8 pounds for delivery when the kit is £20. Time for these businesses to get teal.

Not used them before but let's hope they haven't left a load of debt.

I expect they have. That's what happens when companies go bust.

Brew2bottle email today says they have acquired home brew online.
It's also saying that on the brew2bottle site.

Thanks for the heads up.

Free delivery over £65 though. Simply stock up on a few kits with some bits and bobs

Cheers Tom

Last week I ordered a keg king chubby, a festival American IPA, a Coopers dark ale and 1 kg bag of DME from Brew2bottle and as it was over £65 got free delivery.
The pack of DME had split in transit so I contacted Garath at brew2bottle. He responded almost immediately and the next day dispatched a replacement bag via royal mail which arrive the following day. I'd call that first class customer service !

I just had quick look..they got Festival American ipa kit on for under £20 instead of around £26. So even of you pay £7 delivery its a good deal.
