how many would like me to buy the 5 gallon kits and recipes from San Diego, CA? America’s unofficial microbrewery capital with 90 microbreweries in one metro. Message me at mannierey@yahoo.com . Also, I’m looking for biz partners to open a competitive and justifiable priced home brewing supplies in Luzon. Entry point could be in the $4,000 range up to 5 partners. With that we can open a NANO BREWPUB by the metro area. Message me!
Maybe, if the price is right. Everything over here is ALL about the pricing! If not, it is much cheaper in the long run to just buy bulk.
