Super knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful owner. (Pretty sure he was the owner.) I'm a novice and went in looking for one small part...but figured I'd get some additional supplies while there because this is my closest home brewing supply shop and it's an hour and a half away from my home. I received excellent customer service and a lot of advice and guidance. I got the part I needed (better than the one I was planning to get) plus additional supplies. Some new, some used, all of which I was steered toward and were less expensive and better than what I'd initially asked for. Definitely recommend for the home brewer. I have a gruit going at home and am about to start a mead and today got the supplies for a pacific IPA. This place has everything you need with the advice and assistance you want. Home brewers: Go check it out! read more

Mark Fancher, the owner, is super helpful and really knows his craft. Like an ethanol Sherpa, he breaks everything down into easily digestible information. Other than a Barnes and Nobel homebrew in a box, or muscadine wine, I was new to the hobby. By the time I left, I felt like Sam Calagione. Anyone can read step-by-step instructions, and/or understand the science, but there is always something missing in the finished product. With the guidance of Mark, there is no missing element. If you're not looking to dive in all at once, there is an array of affordable beginner equipment to get your feet wet without breaking the bank. At Trost Und Prost, you will receive honest, professional advice that can be applied to your own experiments. Mark takes the mundane formulas, and by an almost alchemical process, guides people to make art. Affordable prices, exceptional inventory, and excellent customer service. 10/10 recommend. read more

The owner knows all you need to know about home brew and wine making. If he isn't sure, (rare) he'll find out for you. His prices a reasonable and he will try to get you the best deal he can. I have been there many times myself and can't say enough good things about him or his business. I just wish I had more money to spend there! lol read more

This place is great! Very reasonable prices and Mark is really knowledgeable and will answer any questions you have.
