Hi all,
I frequent the local shop in Ripon street alot and buy a lot of my stuff from there, particularly some basic grains, some hops and some sundries like bottle tops etc....BUT I also do a few internet orders and I go to G+G reasonably frequently (or have Melbourne friends stop there on the way to my place...in return for beer of course :icon_cheers: ). The LHBS are a great resource and I encourage us all to use them.
But...
I would just like to "put it out there" and say that if anyone is interested in creating a small and manageable co-op where we can split the cost of delivery/postage, or even alert one another when we are going to G+G (hell, why not just split the cost of fuel and drive down there or whatever?) etc then I would be a keen to participate. I am on a tight budget but am now doing AG and am always keen to make the best beer that my humble resources are capable of.
The offer is open to everyone but may be of more benefit to mashers or hop/yeast snobs (or people that like to experiment with the freshest and best you can find).
Anyway, PM if you want in or just post a reply. If you think it is a shit idea and you don't want to be in it then there's probably no need to add your comment... :drinks:
Hopefully the idea could extend itself so that we organise trips to events in Melbs like demos at G+G or the Westgate Brewers shindig this weekend etc...
Eventually I might learn a thing or two.
Cheers.
