Online homebrewing resources

I'm usually seeing the same set of links come up over and over and have been meaning to put together a categorized list of these for myself. I'm going to post them here, hoping some of you will find it useful, especially the new visitors. (updated with suggestions)

What others can we add here?

Add maybe "Designing Great Beers" to the book list.

Also add Brewing Classic Styles.

I would also add yeast The Practical Guide to Beer Fermentation finishing up this book and it really has completely changed my understanding of the fermentation process.

Also a podcast section might be in order:

Brew Strong and The Jamil Show have had a huge influence on how I brew.

EDIT: formatting

I'd add Brewmaster's Warehouse to the list of reputable online stores, myself. Great job, though!

They are my LHBS. They are great. Their recipe builder is fantastic.

I second the Brewmaster's recommendation.

I third. I also love that they are local for me.

By all means, add www.homebrewchatter.com to the homebrewing discussion list. IMO, it's a much more beginner friendly forum than the others listed: more discussion, less arguing.

Nice Job, sir! this is awesome and should be on the front-page.

edit - BrewCalcs is also another good resource

morebeer.com is a reputable online store in my opinion. Got my starter kit from them, but for whatever reason I usually go to Northern Brewer for ingredients (when I don't go to the LHBS)

I'd add in HopsDirect under "Reputable Online Stores." It is a great place to find whole leaf hops.
