Our Returns Policy & Quality Guarantee

RETURNS:

We take extra care with each and every order to make sure our products leave our warehouse in perfect condition. Although we work very hard to deliver top quality products in the hopes that you will not need to return them, we do accept returns (see exceptions below). You may return items purchased from us for a refund of the purchase price within 30 days of the delivery date of your order. Holiday orders shipped from our warehouse between November 25 and December 24 may be returned up until January 31st. Original shipping charges are not refundable. The shipping cost to return items is your responsibility. Please note the following exceptions to our returns policy:

Brewing yeast (liquid or dry) is not returnable because it is highly perishable. Please choose carefully when ordering yeast. You may be entitled to a credit if there was a problem with the yeast.
We do not accept returns of items that have been used or are missing original components or packaging. We reserve the right to deduct up to 50% of the original price for returns of items that have been used or have missing components or packaging.
We do not accept returns of ingredients that have been opened. If the original seal is broken, the package has been opened. If there is a problem with the quality of an item, you may be entitled to a credit or a refund. Please see our guarantee below for more information.
Closeout items are not returnable.
Coffee roasters and other machines that have been used but are in perfect working order may be returned for a 25% restocking fee if returned within 15 days of the delivery date. We will reduce the restocking fee to 20% if credit is used to purchase a similar product from us. If an appliance is not functioning as expected the problem should be resolved by the manufacturers warranty via a replacement or repair. Although manufacturers warranties vary, it is not likely that you will get a full refund instead of a replacement or repair.
Hop rhizomes are live plants and are not returnable

Organic Ingredients:

We take extra care to maintain the quality and organic integrity of our brewing ingredients and green coffee beans. All of our organic ingredients are guaranteed to be delivered fresh and free of defects. If you are not happy with an item you may return it unopened for a refund within 30 days of the delivery of your order under our return policy above. If you believe an ingredient is defective please contact us right away. We may require a sample of the item in question for verification. If an item we ship to you is defective we will refund all charges, including shipping, once we have verified the defect. Please note that organic products are naturally produced and inconsistencies in color or appearance are a natural occurrence and are not an indication that the product is defective,

Appliances, Brewing Equipment and Supplies:

We offer a 30 day warranty on products not covered by another manufacturers warranty. We work hard to make sure every product leaves our warehouse in perfect condition. If an item you ordered arrives damaged or defective please contact us right away so we can work with you to have it replaced, repaired, or refunded. As we are not the manufacturer of most equipment or supply items, other warranty conditions may apply.

Liquid Brewing Yeast:

We take every precaution to make sure liquid yeast arrives in good condition. We guarantee White Labs to be fresh, and we do not ship White Labs that has a use by date that is less than 1 month from the ship date. All liquid yeast is shipped with a complementary ice pack, and at least 98% of shipments arrive in good condition (based on our 9 years of experience shipping yeast). We do not guarantee viability of White Labs liquid yeast shipped by ground carrier. If you require a guarantee of viability you must have the yeast shipped by 1 or 2 day Air. If White Labs that was shipped by 1 or 2 day air does not show signs of active fermentation within 48 hours of pitching we will refund your money. We guarantee Wyeast pouches to swell within 6 days of activation. If the pouch does not swell within 6 days and within 30 days of your order, you are entitled to a refund. We especially recommend 1 or 2 day shipping if you order liquid yeast in the summer from June 1st to September 1st. We will refund the purchase price if the liquid yeast you purchased does not meet the above guidelines. Shipping charges are not refundable, and we do not ship replacement yeast at our own expense. Liquid yeast claims have a lifetime limit of 2 per individual.
