    Grain and Grape Closing Down

    I first walked into G & G when they were up on Rosamond Rd. Got me started homebrewing with plenty of great advice.

    Cooper's "New Style" Fermenters

    Beginner questions

    Palmer's 'How To Brew' served me well at the beginning. The latest edition may cover hazy ipa's. Don't brew them myself.

    Heat pump water heater rebates for Victorians

    You're right. Victoria uses the aussie dollar. It will have to secede and create it's own currency if it wanted to print money.

    Heat pump water heater rebates for Victorians

    This is what happens most of the time, but it does not have to happen. The gov can create whatever money it wants but unless it spends wisely it might cause inflation.
