That's a good enough endorsement for me! Many thanks for the replies.

Anymore updates on these units? Looking to change brew setup and will be utilising pumps in the new rig, these are available local to me so definitely on my list for consideration. Cheers

Hey all, just wanted to give a shout out for the LHBS. As we all know the shop had been stuck in its ways for a fair while under the previous owners and credit where its due it kept many of us brewing for many years (quirks and all). So with the new owners Pete and Trevor at the helm I have...

Hmm a reason to blend and bottle this sour that's been sitting for an age I reckon.

Wow, never expected to read a thread on this topic here. Don't suffer myself but my wife has dealt with depression and anxiety for a large portion of her life. Depression to start and anxiety later, mainly stemming from an abusive ex husband. We have been through hell over the last 6 years we...

Firstly, Paul thank you for being the middle man for these group buys, they have saved us Tassie brewers a bucket of money and expanded our brewing network extensively. Touch wood, someone is able to facilitate an ongoing bulk buy system in conjuction with Paul. (I would but being at the other...

Home brew shop in Hobart has Gypsum, although the young girl in there had to ask Amanda what & where it was when I bought it.
