Grow Masters - Alex in troubleshooting mode - Nurseries & Gardening Near Me - Gurnee, Illinois

This place has a great selection of grains, hops, and yeasts. The staff is friendly and helpful and the prices are pretty good.

I grow cannabis for some medical conditions I have. Well... now I grow cannabis. Before I came here I was just growing ditch weed and didn't understand a lot about what's actually required to grow cannabis. I honestly thought it wasn't that hard, because it's called weed for a reason! There's a lot that can go wrong, and I have experienced so many problems that the men at this store helped me to correct. Everything from silvery mold and root rot to fungus gnats. I live right near a lake and run/fish/bike/kayak, so no matter how careful I am I'm always battling whatever is stuck under my fingernails or loose from my hair. If it weren't for this group of men I wouldn't have a bloom phase and I cannot thank them enough for their help and support. Oh! If they recommend something to you, please listen. They are the professionals and know volumes to help you. I don't even look at the prices anymore, when you find a treasure you don't put a value on it. But they are competitive with market standards and Amazon. The attached photo is just a short week from harvest. Guess I'll have to bug them on how to trim and cure these! And I know they'll have the best recommendations read more

They have classes to teach you to make Wine, Beer, Cider and Mead! My friends and I went and may have been a little crazy, the people that taught the class just went with the flow and we helped make 6 GALLONS of wine. It was awesome and then they call us to pick up the wine when it is done. The wine is included in the class price. This was an awesome adventure for a couple of hours!!! Thanks to Noah, Brian and Beth!!! read more

Homebrewer's Supply Haven! Bullets, then more detail: -Large Selection of homebrewing STUFF -Great Customer Service -Slightly hard to find I am so happy I found this place for my homebrewing needs. They have a large, well-stocked selection of grains, hops, yeast, brew equipment, cleaning supplies, brew kits, and more. I was shocked at how much stock they carry. The store isn't small, and it's filled floor-to-ceiling with product. The gentleman behind the counter was very helpful in showing me the ropes when stocking up on grain. Even though the grains are normally self-serve, he took it upon himself to weigh and crush it all for me, despite the fact that my recipe involved over 10 varieties of grain. Great customer service. He also let me know that I can call in an order ahead of time, if my goal is just to grab and go. Some homebrew supply shops tend to employ brewing experts that have a bad habit of looking down on the beginner and novice brewers. Absolutely NOT the case here. He answered all my questions earnestly, patiently, and helpfully. I will be back. In fact, I'll probably head back there tonight. Only thing is, it's kind of hard to find - it's tucked back in a very non-descript strip mall, and the store is not clearly marked. Go slow once you get on their street so you have time to turn in. read more

Outstanding customer service. Why order online when you can help support your local community. They are so well priced that it's the same if you would of shopped online anyway, but now you get it the same day. read more

GrowMasters is THE #1 place for any/all home brewing supplies and support. Bryan and his staff will provide ultimate customer service whether you're a novice craft brewer or a pro. I highly recommend GrowMasters to anyone interested in brewing beer. They are extremely knowledgable and will answer questions and provide helpful tips via phone, text, and in person. Saturday's are a lot of fun when GrowMasters hosts a Brewing class too. Stop thinking about brewing craft beer and get started at GrowMasters!! read more

Update: Some of the workers at Growmaster belong to the Brew club "BABBLE". Meetings are held the third thursday of each month. The location varies. So if you are interested, ask whoever is behind the counter. I've only been able to attend one meeting so far. It was a great time. There are a few maizers in the group too. read more

fair prices, fresh grain, hops, and yeast.

Possibly the best ingredient selection in the world. I've been to many brew shops in many different areas and this is by far the best. Over 100 grains to choose from, almost every hop available on the market, great yeast selection also. Being able to place an order for a rare wyeast strain on Sunday and it being there on Friday for my weekend brew is priceless. I love that the grain is self serve so im absolutely sure what goes into my beer, I hate a shop that goes into back room to fill grain order and them using a malt close to the one I want and not telling me. Brew classes are free which is rare and the mill is free to use unlike other stores and the free samples are always great. If your a serious brewer this place has everything you need and guarantee the best price you'll find, plus a great customer rewards program that actually works! yay read more
