Home Brew Beer – Est. 2006

Apologies to all for there being no posts in a while. This will be the last post regarding Easybrew that I will make for the foreseeable future.

See these posts for background on the Easybrew saga:

Easybrew.co.uk Problems

Action regarding Easybrew.co.uk Problems

Easybrew.co.uk – Order Problems Resolved

Easybrew.co.uk – Developments & Advice

Various commentors have noticed over the last few days/weeks that the Easybrew online shop is “down for maintenance”. Whether it ever reappears from this maintenance remains to be seen, although they do still appear to have been having problems fulfilling orders recently.

My advice would be to not attempt to shop with them if/when they reappear on the net. Also note that the Easybrew company set up a new website at http://www.homebrewingandwinemaking.co.uk/ so avoid this one as well.

I hope everyone that has outstanding orders/money owed gets there problem resolved. If the company has gone bust then you may need to register with the administrators as a creditor to get anything back.

My recommendation for a good homebrew shop online would be Hop & Grape. In my experience they have delivered goods very quickly and have let me know promptly if any item is out of stock (only happened once!)

I hope to post more actual homebrewing information/stories here as of now, and would welcome comments/questions from anyone.

Thanks,

Graham

EDIT 6th MAy 2009: Thanks to this comment from DD for alerting me to the fact that Annette Ferre (Easybrew proprietor) has been declared bankrupt. See this excerpt from the London Gazette (see here [PDF] for the actual notice, right-hand column, second from bottom).
