Ordering supplies - spend 100 get 20$ gift card

[drhusker18]

So I am starting my home brewery. I have been searching prices and savings (% off deals and free gift cards). I will be ordering this week so I can brew for a summer stockpile.

One site is offering $20 gift card for 100$ spent - basically 20% off. It is homebrewsupply.com. Another and probably most popular is having a sweet 16 16% off sale.

I am wondering once I get that card, what is the best thing to spend on? I am extract brewing. Are their beer extract kits any good? They seem to not be reviewed much. Maybe just order general supplies? Yeast? Hops? Dry extract?

What are some suggestions to blow the 20$ card on? I will also have a 5% promo code.

I also found out my LHBS has a small business Black Friday 20% sale each year- so I will be frequenting that once I get established.

Thanks!

"Boy, a $20 gift card sounds good, but I don't think I'll be able to find something to spend it on."

I have done their kits, they were fine. (I ordered basic kits, I think an IPA and an ESB, and both turned out just fine)

Hhaha. I hear you broadbill. I will just use that 20 to order a vinator for my tree.
