Welcome to the site Doug, and to a new addiction <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D -->

You won't be able to visit grapengrain physcially, as they only do phone orders since they closed their shop in Dublin a few years ago. I'll add my voice to the Homebrew Company supporters. They have a great range and are beer brewers themselves (and fellow members of ICB too) so keep a good stock as well as a great service.

Best of luck with yor brewing adventure. Take a peek in our Knowledgebase section for some tips on starting out with kits, or do what I did and jump staight into Extract based brews. <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) -->

Thanks for the welcome all.
Grapengrain were going to meet me to deliver any order I placed , but I have taken on board the recs on homebrew company. <!-- s:wink: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt="" title="Wink" /><!-- s:wink: --> good call.

Will keep you posted on progress ,good or bad.
