What a great experience. Bryan went out of his way to help me out with a very hard to find item. What a friendly and helpful guy. Customer service is alive and well at this shop! 10/10 , I have found my new shop!

This shop has all of your fermenting needs. They have wine making supplies, beer brewing supplies, soda making supplies, and cheese making supplies. They also have a refrigerator with Taps on it with samples of beer! My dad makes wine that is why he goes but I go there for the bread making classes and cheese making classes.

So easy to deal with and same day pickup is excellent! I've called a few times with non-product questions (would a cider base, juices, or extracts be better for my cider, etc.) and they've always been happy to talk. Prices are way better than the mail order place I was using. I'm so glad to have such a great place local to me!

I've been using Great Fermentations as my primary online supplier for my homebrewing (mead not beer) for a couple of months. Everything I've received from them has arrived in great condition, and was packed with care. Even with some shipping delays due to Covid warned about on their website, all my orders have arrived in a very timely fashion. I'm am very pleased with their service.

Great place to learn about home brewing and purchase all your supplies. They have a wide variety of fermentation kits. They also have a great knowledge of the brewing proceess, are very helpful and willing to answer all your questions. I took a beginners brewing class there that i thought was very good. I highly recommend this place!

today was the second or third time i have called this place in about 2or3 years, the phone conversations we have had are great and help full, by the way i live about 3 hours away from INDY. i have family that goes through INDY from time to time, so i place an order on the phone and they pick it up for me. It works out great and at my pace._______________________________________________________________

foot note: when putting your system together get. get BIGGER parts than you need now it will GROW.
i am starting to brew 10gl now but able to go 15 almost now._______________

Everyone here knows their stuff. I've been coming here ever since I started brewing. They carry some great recipes and all the equipment you need. It's the best brewing supply store in Indy.... It's also the only brewing supply store in Indy.

This place is a thing of beauty. Every employee is more than willing to go out of their way to make you smile. They have suggestions for your brewing needs and backup plans incase those don't work. You can even call them on the phone and they will help you however they can. The prices are a tad higher than most online stores but I don't mind because I get to talk to a human when spending my $$$. Go check them out, you won't be disappointed!

Great people, variety of supplies and willingness to offer good advice. Fast shipping when you can't make it to the store. Makes me happy to just go in and browse. Wish I lived closer to take advantage of the classes they offer.

Amazing Service! I ordered a Grainfather and had several issues with it. Wes at customer service got in touch with me and made sure all issues were resolved quickly and that I was completely satisfied with my purchase.

It's in situations like these that you can really weigh-in on the quality of a retailer and they have surpassed my expectations.

Cheers!

Its frustrating when some trys to make me brew batch in a way I chose not too. I wanted to do an all grain brew but was told I should do extract or mini mash. The old man was trying to sell me kits i didnt want. I wanted to buy a 50 lb bag the old man was talking down. I only bought 20 lbs just so i can get out and start brewing. The old man kept trying to push things on me that I didnt need nor wanted. At the end of the sale he made an inappropriate joke. I dont know if it was cause of my race or what. I am driving across town to try the other places or ordering online from here on out.

Great Fermentations has a great variety and selection of homebrewing supplies. They were extremely helpful in finding the ingredients I needed and giving recommendations. Whether you're brewing your first batch or stepping up to more advanced brewing techniques, they will answer any questions without being condescending. I will be back!

The staff was very knowledgeable. One thing to note if you're getting a beer kit you must get yeast AND primer sugar. I was not made aware that the primer sugar was not included just was told I need to purchase the yeast.

I have had a kegerator for a couple years and never knew much about caring for it and cleaning it until I visited Great Fermentations. The crew there is so helpful and willing to share best practices. They always thank me for coming in and take the time to help out!

The staff is very knowledgeable and helpful for Brewers new and old. Lots of great ingredients and equipment. It's where my hobby started and it's still where I go for all my brewing needs.

This is an awesome place to go get brewing supplies for beer, wine, and even cheese. The staff are very helpful to both experienced and novice Brewers. If you're looking to create something specific you can ask for a recipe for a brew and they will print out instructions. You can also sign up for beer brewing classes, wine brewing classes, and cheese making classes, which I found very helpful in my exploration of fermentation. The staff is very laid back, so don't be afraid to walk right in and say hi. They have fostered the local community of Brewers, and for that, I love them.

Doesn't matter if you are just getting started in homebrewing or wine making or been doing so for a long time, this is a great place to get your ingredients, equipment and to meet others with thr same interest!

These guys are always helpful, and will take all kinds of time to go over the ins and outs of the brewing experience. The equipment there isn't necessarily always top-of-the-line for most stuff, but they do a good job to try and pick affordable equipment that the average person is going to use. Some of the brewing kits that they make in house are often very similar to popular beers in the market, and they do a great job of explaining the flavor profiles and the ingredients and why they were chosen. Price seems to be about on par for what you would expect from a local shop. It's obviously not as cheap as Amazon or an online option, but the customer service more than makes up for the difference. I feel like I learn something new each time that I go here, and it's always a really enjoyable experience.
