Yep - heard of Dave's and the reviews and all that - just bit of a trek for me just to buy some plastic bottles - can't believe there isn't anywhere closer.

Hi all, I've tried a search for retail shops in North Sydney (there are two that I have found) but I was looking for one a bit nearer Frenchs Forest/Belrose way - there was one in Brookvale but that's closed. I only need some bottles and some yeast right now and would prefer not to have to...

I think that's why I was excited - got a standard kit on secondary fermentation in bottles (my first attempt) which was pretty standard Munich beer kit with a brew 'enhancer' - I have no idea what that will taste like but it was really only a trial to make sure I knew how to use the equipement...
