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.

11/18/2008 -- I was researching mead and i stopped by a local meadery and he said for a five gallon batch that primary would probably take between 2-4 months and the entire process will take a year. is this true? Does leaving sit too long in primary damage it? Thank you i love the QnA pages

8/1/2008 -- HI, I would like to try to make mead. Do I need to buy a "Beer Kit" and do you sell instructions for this? I have only made whiskey with a still. Beer and mead making is COMPLETELY NEW. Please help with some info and tell what I need to buy. Thank You,,,Paul

5/2/2008 -- I've brewed four of your beer kits with great success, thank you. I live in New York City, and with summer approaching I’m sure the temperatures will be well above 75. Is there a something, perhaps wine, that will ferment properly at higher temperatures? I’m predicting between 80 and 85 degrees. I’ve heard Mead might, but the one Mead I’ve tasted was too sweet for my taste. Any suggestions? Thank . . .

4/29/2008 -- We tried this mead kit and loved it. Now we want to try a cyser. A lot of what I have been reading says to rack/bottle once it clears up. Do you have any guidelines for how long meads/cysers should ferment? Thanks for the help.

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?

10/11/2004 -- I've made a pyment (mead with fruit) using homegrown grapes. The grape concentrate was added to the honey-water mixture towards the end just long enough to pasturize. Mead nutrient was also added at that time. Once the mixture was forced cool (75-80 degrees F), the Wyeast Sweet Mead Yeast Package was added. It had been swelling for about 12 hours at 70-80 Degrees. Now the Mead has been in the . . .

3/17/2004 -- what is mead???

3/10/2004 -- What is the difference between a dry mead yeast and a sweet mead yeast?? Also if you make mead with a basic wine yeast will it turn out ok?

2/16/2004 -- It has been about 4 days since I mixed the ingrediants and put the mead into my primary fermentor and I have not seen any evidence of fermentation. It is rather cold where I live (50-60 degrees) and the mead is in my shed. Will this ruin the mead or just take a really long time to ferment before I can transfer it to the carboy?

2/4/2004 -- About how long will I have to wait before I can drink my mead?

12/28/2003 -- Hi, I recently received a "Nectar of the Gods" kit. I'm planning to make the mead in the next day or two. In going over the kit components I noticed that there are two packets of dry yeast (both the same). Do I use both packets even though the label says one packet is sufficient for 5 gallons? Thanks for your assistance!

10/24/2003 -- I just like to say that I enjoy making your mead kits. I have made "gallons" of it and it never last long. My friends drool over it. The best thing that I found out is to disolve the honey in all the water or juice before I put it my fermenter.

10/21/2003 -- I have recently started my first batch of mead using the Wyeast Sweet Mead Yeast. After combining the Honey,water and mead blend and allowing the mixture to cool to 75 degrees I pitched the yeast. Unfortunately there seems to be little or no sign of fermentation after 7 days. Is the reaction less obvious than when brewing beer or is my fermentation stuck? If so, is there any way you would suggest . . .

10/18/2003 -- If I wanted to make a cyser, and used your Nectar of the gods mead making kit, how much Apple Fruit Wine Base would I need? If I don't need the full 9.5 lbs., could I divide it between batches?

10/16/2003 -- What equipment do i need besides the mead kit to make mead?

8/22/2003 -- I am going to make my first attempt at making mead. How important are campden tablets in this process and how do I use them?

8/5/2003 -- I'm attempting my first batch of mead (or anything for that matter), and am having a great time, but have a few questions. When I'm ready to bottle my mead, is it better to cork it into wine bottles or can I cap it into 12oz. bottles? In either case, how much head space should I leave in the bottle? Do I need to do anything else before or after putting it into bottles (heat or cold pasturization etc.)? . . .

7/12/2003 -- Sirs,I make a tasty lemony pilsner beer.My equipment is geared to the five gallon batch.My brother,a viking buff saw you'r mead kit over my shoulder and asked if I could brew a batch as mead is very prevelant in Celtic lore.Will my beer equipment suffice to do you'r kit. And yes I do Know my spare fermenter will be tied up as mead usually takes longer.Thanks A Heap!!

6/30/2003 -- I am a novice home brewer and recently purchased a Mead Kit. I followed the directions and everything looks to be ok. Within 8 hours, I could hear the CO coming out. My only question is: Right now, all the honey has settled tot he bottom. Is this correct or is there something I chould be doing to get it off the bottom?

6/25/2003 -- I am a novice when it comes to wine making. I am about to get started however, and need some advice before placing my order. I plan to make "Mead" for my first batch. Other than Item "H24" in your catalog, do I need to order the Mead Blend or Mead Yeast, and if so, which yeast. I will also be ordering complete kit. I believe the mead kit will make five gallons, but many . . .

6/11/2003 -- Since I've had a few successful batches of wine made (my friends think so) I was wanting to know does this kit come complete or is there any other additional equipment or ingredients I need to purchase for this..Thank you
