Here’s an email I received from Doug Griffith of Delmarva Brewing Craft in Millsboro.

Subject: Millsboro Home Brew ShopHi Scott,
I am Doug Griffith and with my wife Patti, we operate Delmarva Brewing Craft in Millsboro.
I am sorry to hear that HDYB is closing in September. I know I get some of my customers because they like to have someone to talk with in person about their latest brew or need some advise about their next and talking with someone over the phone just isn’t the same. I am sure your local homebrew shop will be missed by many in your club.
If there is any way I may help you with supplies for you and the First State Brewers club just let me know. I have a brochure of most of my supplies for both beer and wine making that I would be glad to mail some copies for you and the club.
My primary day of business is Saturdays from 9 to 5 but other hours are available by appointment. I have a toll free number for ordering which is 877-556-9433. I do mailorder and have found that most deliveries within the state are received in two days, many the next day after shipping. Although most of my customers are below Dover, I believe all packages go to Wilmington before being forwarded to their final destination, so the same delivery times would apply.Again, if there is anyway I can help you with supplies, do no hesitate to call or email.

Sweet. Guess I need to find out what he charges for yeast – Having a fresh supply of White Labs that could be here next day would be awesome.
I typically know what I’m going to brew in advance… provided the yeast is reasonable and shipping isn’t killer, this could be perfect.
Got a response from Doug regarding shipping yeast. $7 per vial plus $3 shipping per vial. Looks like I will be making the drive to Philly and going to Home Sweet Homebrew instead… $10 is way too much to pay for yeast.
Don’t like Wine & Beer Emporium on 202, just past the PA line? They’re nice.
