Best value for online purchases of kits and bits

[squirrell]

Hi,

Just wondering what people's opinions are on the best value online sites for home brew purchases. On face value, the cheapest and most reasonable I have been able to find is http://discounthomebrewwarehouse.com.au/ although that was until I realised the shipping cost adds almost 50% to the purchase price. Brewcraft appears more expensive at first but the shippnig cost is a lot less or nil.

... thinking I might actually be better off at my home brew shop!

Coopers often have free shipping on orders over $50 (they have an offer that ends today)

Are you looking for specific ingredients/plumbing/kegging supplies or just a general online store for everything?

There's a few sponsors and retailers on here that can cover most of your needs with competitive pricing..

do you live near a Big W???? If so get a Coopers starter kit there. Cheapest you'll find

if you want extract try here .there is 4 types and they will mix the cans

That works out to nearly $17.00 per can.

Is that a reasonable price in Melbourne? In Perth, TWOC sell it for around 11-14 dollars per can.

4 cans @ $36.50...$9.55

4 cans @ $36.50...$9.55

Plus $20.55 shipping. As usual the shipping spoils the deal
I did use This Place once, free shipping on a $100 + spend.

You have a different post code

Try walking into your LHBS, give them a go. If they show any interest, start talking temperature control or asking questions about how you brew, they may be worth sticking with.

Just saying.

Thanks everyone. I ended up availing myself of the coopers deal which also had a discount. 2 Thomas coopers draughts and 3 light malt cans for 58 bucks all up. Great value I think.

I do use big w but was wanting to try new ingredients. Does anyone know if using the premium coopers really is a step up from the normal range? Or is money better spent on better yeast, hops etc?

Some of them are noticeably better, the IPA is probably the best coopers kit overall. Generally i would use better yeast anyways.
