Looking to get in to kegging. Have any of you guys found a reasonable place to locally purchase Corney kegs in Massachusetts?
Hudson. I've never had a problem at Strange Brew. Disorganized? Yeah, a little, but definitely helpful and nice guys. They always seem to have what I need except lower prices for Citra...
To be fair it's my only homebrew shop so I know not of your magical Cambridge shoppe, does sound awesome. But this is why I joined the grain buy organized by crazyirishman and bought a mill.
Cambridge here.
If you've been going to Modern, do yourself a favor and check out Boston Homebrew Supply in Coolidge Corner:

For comparison, the grain rack at BHS:
Boston Homebrew Supply has:
A better grain selection (good luck getting melanoidin, acidulated, caramunich, etc. at Modern), a MUCH better mill, way more in the way of hops (Hop Union at that, compared to the no-name bulk stuff in the plastic bags at Modern that they don't even bother to vacuum pack), good yeast selection (slightly less yeast variety than Modern but it tends to be fresher), MUCH cleaner (you need a respirator going into Modern), and to top it off the owner Josh is just an incredibly nice, humble, and knowledgeable guy (he used to brew professionally for Boston Beer Works). I tend to get an Android's Dungeon vibe from Modern.
Holy crap that's organized. I live out in the 'burbs now so there's no way I'd made it to Brookline. But to be fair I saw all those grains every time I was at Modern, and I see them every time at Strange Brew. I buy caramunich and melanoidin all the time, haven't needed acidulated yet but it's right there at both shops. I don't think of any of them as being rare or hard to find. I think the only grain I couldn't find locally once was golden naked oats.
But I've never seen a grain section that clean looking, that's awesome. I guess you never know how unorganized your shop's grain section is until someone posts a cleaner one
