As an ex sales rep, I can tell you that Steve and Janae that had Mitre 10 in Tamworth are now in at Kootingal at the True Value Hardware, and have taken the brew gear with them.

Try here.

No, nothing exciting.

Have done alot of searching on cleaning glassware, and most opinions say to avoid using soap. Recommendations are for just hot water and air drying. Others say baking soda. Are there any special tricks or tips forum members have on the subject ???
