Homebrew Heaven Shipping Policy

ORDERING POLICY

In case we are unable to reach you via phone, voicemail, and/or email and we have not received a response from you within 2 business days after attempting contact, we reserve the right to process your order with reasonable substitutions, (i.e.; pellet vs. leaf hops) unless you have specifically advised us not to, when you originally placed your order. Please note that SOME orders may be subject to cancellation if we have not received a response from you within 3 business days. 5 days for PayPal orders.

Homebrew Heaven uses a safe and secure ordering system over the Internet. If you are uncomfortable with providing your credit card information over the web, you can always print the contents of your shopping cart by highlighting ALL items in the cart (including order total) and either fax, or snail mail your order in to us. Be sure to include your personal check or money order. Please note that orders received with personal checks are subject to additional delay until the check clears and funds are available to Homebrew Heaven.

SHIPPING POLICY

Homebrew Heaven strives to ship all orders within 2 to 3 Business days from receipt. If we happen to be out of an item, we will make every effort to contact you regarding reasonable substitutions, backorders, etc. Again, we want HAPPY customers. SEE ORDERING POLICY.

You will automatically receive a confirmation of your order, and you can print out a copy for your records.

SHIPPING POLICY: Homebrew Heaven strives to send your package in the best, and most economical way possible. Within the U.S., this is normally by FEDEX or U.S. (Priority) Mail. You may now select the service that is right for YOU. We do NOT send packages COD, or invoice for shipments.

Orders to APO's/FPO's and PO Boxes MUST use U.S. Priority Mail. Due to security issues, package tracking is not available to these addresses. FEDEX and UPS do not deliver to these addresses, anyway. Any lost packages or damaged products via U.S. Mail to APO's/FPO's cannot be replaced.

OUTSIDE the U.S.: Normally, we use Fedex International Economy service. We have found that low cost surface mail is often unreliable. If you request these services, we will adjust the shipping and rates accordingly, but will NOT be responsible for non-delivery. We cannot guarantee delivery of any orders outside of the U.S. in any case.

LARGE and Heavy Items:
Some items, such as Fruit Presses and Grape Crusher/Destemmers MUST be sent by commercial truck, and can be expensive. We will be happy to provide an estimate on those items if you like. The shipping estimate on the website may have to be adjusted on these items. Shipments of these items are to U.S. addresses only.

HOLIDAY GIFTS: Our website allows you to specify a different "ship to" address, so that we can ship your gifts directly to the recipient. If you want us to send a copy of the invoice to you, instead of putting it into the box, just let us know in the "comment" section at checkout.

All shipping rates are subject to change at any time. We may be required to make adjustments for unusually bulky or heavy items, and orders that require more than one box. We make every effort to be fair about this, but sometimes it may be necessary.

CUSTOMER QUESTIONSDetails

Read Complete Questions & Answers | Ask a Question

11/17/2009 -- I have been looking at a lot of different home brewery kits on the internet. What is the difference in the performance between plastic and glass (carboy) fermenters?

9/12/2009 -- If I was to order this Deluxe Kit (bottling version), how long from the time I start, until I am drinking my first home brew (scottish ale)? What do you recommend getting in addition to this kit, to brew maybe 3 different beers at once, or is that an option with 1 kit?

7/17/2009 -- Is a 5 gallon carboy big enough to secondary ferment a 5 gallon batch of beer?

6/14/2009 -- Would the Fermometer product work with the 6 gallon primary fermenter with lid? I assume it would be placed on the outside of the bucket, and wonder if the plastic would interfere with the accuracy of the temperature reading. Also, if I order this with a spigot pre-installed, would I still need a siphon for 'racking' purposes? Thank you for answering my questions on such a timely basis - I am truly . . .

12/26/2008 -- I received the deluxe brewing kit for xmas, and I look forward to brewing my first batch. The kit came with a 6-gallon primary fermentor with lid. You mention in a couple help desk tickets that you should pound the lid onto the bucket to ensure a good seal. This makes sense, but do you pry it off when you transfer to the secondary fermenter or for cleaning? My concern is that the lid might break . . .

11/20/2008 -- On the standard bucket fermenters that come with your kits, where is the 5-gallon mark relative to the bottom plastic "ring" near the top of the bucket?

9/11/2008 -- what other type of bucket could i use if i didnt want to buy one at this time?

5/14/2008 -- Not a question but a statement. Anyone planning on buying a lauter system and installing one of these themselves should just have one of these installed in a plastic bucket by the guys at homebrew heaven. I did it today and it costed me almost 3 times as much as well as about 2 hours at home depot trying to come up with something comparable to this spigot.

1/26/2008 -- I live about an hour (if traffic is good) from the address on your website. Do you have an actual store or is everything here based solely online?

12/7/2007 -- I'm am planning on ordering the plastic 6-Gallon fermentor with the airlock, stopper, and spigot installed. Do I need to buy the airlock stopper and spigot seperately or does it come with those? I noticed the price went up with the adding of these. What exactly does the bucket come with? This is my first time and I want to make Hard Cider. I'm thinking of getting the #4766 Yeast and using apple . . .

3/22/2007 -- I'm using a 5 gal plastic bucket as a primary fermentor for cider but I'm having difficulty getting an air-tight seal around the lid. This makes it difficult to judge the fermentation by watching the airlock. What is a good, simple way to get a good lid to bucket seal so that the airlock will do it's job?

1/23/2007 -- I have an older 6 gallon primary (plastic) that I got from a buddy. It's color has faded a little and it could use a good wash, but other than that it looks ok. Will that be ok to use for a mead? I am more worried about using an older bucket (I am using my newer bucket for the Belgium Ale) since it takes longer to ferment. Thanks for the help.

12/6/2006 -- Does the primary fermentor need an airlock? I have seen primary fermentors that use only a small air filter not a "lock" to facilitate aerobic fermentation. The airlock was used on the secondary fermentor to promote anerobic fermentation. But, I might just be confused. Also, do you sell or know where I might find a 3-3.5 gallon bucket? Sometimes I will do a small "test" batch . . .

12/9/2005 -- I am in need of a lid with a stopper and airlock only. Can I purchase the lid separately? ~J

11/23/2005 -- i got a Food grade white plastic fermenter with drill in lid i got it all off ebay first time makeing wine like this what go's in the top of the lid there's a big hole and a litt one help thanks

11/21/2005 -- could you tell me height AND diameter of the plastice fermenting bucket?

5/16/2005 -- i am new to this, and i have seen and heard of people using plastic buckets for final fermentation, their purpose for doing this is so they can attach a spigot to the bucket for bottling, is this ok to do or is glass the better choice? thanx again and i find that you question and answer part of the site to be very helpful

4/13/2005 -- I have a ready supply of 5-gallon water jugs. like the sparkletts trucks kind. will these work as a primary or secondary fermenter. Just wondering.

3/13/2005 -- I'm just getting started brewing and I had a question. As a primary fermenter which is better, plastic bucket, plastic carboy or glass carboy. Then for secondary fermentation, plastic carboy or glass carboy?

10/22/2004 -- I bought the 6 gallon plastic fermenter from you a while back. The lid doesn't seem to seal airtight. The airlock never bubbles but the wine is fermenting. I know because you can see it foaming. I was wondering if maybe this one is defective and if anyone else has had this problem.

8/18/2004 -- If I select the "Yes. add Airlock , Stopper, and install spigot" option will the order automaticlly add the spigot or do I need to add it to my order myself?

5/12/2004 -- Curious as to whether I can still ferment with the spigot or if it renders it a bottling bucket only?

4/13/2004 -- I have brewed Wizards Wheat beer several times with very good results. I have since moved onto other types of beer. Unfortunately I seem to be having a problem with my primary fermenter. Even after I sanitize it using 2oz of bleach to 5 gallons of cool water and leaving it sit over night it still has an odor to it. My last batch of beer had a sour taste to it. Should I throw it out and get a new . . .

3/14/2004 -- I was thinking of replacing my primary fermenter (plastic) because I have made about four or five batches in it and it has become a little stained. Is it a good idea to go with a glass carboy so that I don't have to worry about scratches and contamination rather than getting another plastic fermenter? Why would plastic be an option if they need to be replaced?

12/19/2003 -- I am having trouble keeping the temp in the room I am making wine between 70 and 75 degrees as specified in the wine kit I have. I live in Colorado and often the temp at night dips way down, and in the day it can get quite warm. I am not around at all times to adjust the thermastat. Could I solve this problem by wrapping the carboy with an electric blanket or something of the sort? Any suggestions? . . .

11/20/2003 -- Can your Brew Heater Pad be used on a plastic carboy?

11/19/2003 -- After a long hiatus (about 10 years), I am returning to the homebrewing world. Is it a good idea to replace my plastic equipment (fermenters, tubing, etc.) or will a good dose of sanitizer bring it back into safe, usable condition?

10/29/2003 -- We want to make hard cider. Please could you advise us on what fermenting equipment we need . Will this container suffice?

10/23/2003 -- I noticed most of the malt extract brew kits are 5 gallon batches. Will a 5 gallon carboy be sufficient for fermentation, or will I need a 6 gallon carboy to allow for foaming? Thanks, I'm new to this.

6/23/2003 -- Is it a good idea to make wine in plastic?
