Brisbane Brew Shops

[davidk]

HI. The Brewers Choice Stores at Chapel Hill and Gaythorne have Australian Ales and Pils at $3.50/kg, dropping to $3/kg when you buy 25kgs. Speciality malts range from $4.20 dropping to $3.65 (Munich, Crystal), to about $6.60 dropping to $5.95 for the more expensive ones (Caramalt), depends on the supply price to them. It is uncrushed, but they will crush it on site for you. They both have freshly packed hops in air-tight foil heat sealed bags, stored in fridges. The other stores can get the grain, yeasts and hops in, if sufficient notice is given.

If I owned a HBS i would have some sort of loyalty card. if people wanted to get better prices they purchase more and get more in return. You know buy 25 kg of grain and get 5 for free. I dont know somthing like that.

I'm about to get sack rates on my main grains fron QHB & they will hold for me to take as I wish. I get very good "mates rates" already (never paid more than $2.80 kg for specialty malts & base grain much cheaper) - I'll try & get some firm prices & see if they will do a deal for AHB members...

Brewcraft at chermside has something like this, I think spend $20 get $1 voucher for your next purchase.

Ross, I currently pay 3 dollars for base and I dont know how much for specialty @ Quality. If you could swing that it would solve alot of problems for everyone in Brissy.

And perhaps all of us up here (Although $60 a sack for JW Trad Ale seems to be the cheapest around without a bulk buy). I am mainly concerned with a cheaper source of specialty grains.
Good on you Ross! :super:
Who knows? Maybe this could be an on-going thing competition-wise for all the main Brisbane HBS'.
BTW, where is Quality HB in Brissy?

Don't waste your time with the HB on Gympie Rd, Kedron.

Just went to the shop at Gaythorne and happy with the service and quality. Good to find someone that has an idea of mashing etc. best on the north side by far.

Was at another shop on the north side and I asked the guy what his thoughts where on a brew I had that fermented out in two days. His suggestion was to check the lid. ok?

Always frendly helps where ever he can and keeps a large stock.



No afiliation

Have to agree, he's a top bloke - But his grain prices the last time I was there were rather on the high side - If he's brought them down, then well worth a visit

 

[jimmyjack]

I used to Use Mike at Beenleigh, great little shop. I didnt know he stocked grains. Do you know how much??

just checked the packet - bought 500 gms of black malt about 5 months ago - $4 ($8 a kilo)... A tad expensive in my book

I usualy buy 25kg for about $45 and then buy the small quantity grains as required. He only charges me per kilo rate even for 100g. (aprox $4/kg) He also asks what I think I will be brewing in the near future when he does his grain order so that I can get it fresh.

He does have a large stock of different grains and I have only managed to stump him once with something he didn't have in stock.

I know that this is (Slightly?) off-topic but as it is a Brissy thread, can anyone going to the Xmas Case at Ross's spare me a couple of empty JW sacks? Would be much appreciated.
