Grain and Grape Closing Down

[Hip Hops Don't Stop]

The 3 x FWK's I ordered are still showing as in stock on the website, though how reliable that is, is anyone's guess.

Just got an email. The FWK's have been removed, still been charged full freight for a small box of hops and a bag of grain!

Strange that it wasn't put up for sale? I would have thought it was a successful business having been around for so long. Really odd.
As for the lease I would presume he was on a three or five-year lease. Why couldn't the staff have bought it and paid him a sum of money weekly or monthly?
Maybe there has been a decline throughout the home brewing business which doesn't make it worthwhile to continue.

My order arrived in Sydney this morning

I just hope they'll have enough left to cover my grain book once they reopen, otherwise I'll be unimpressed. If they knew they were planning to close perhaps they should have emailed anyone with a grain book and told them to run it down before X date because they're phasing them out or something.

Who said anything about re-opening?

I don’t think they’re re-opening mate. Maybe you could chase them up for a refund or you could order whatever grain you need more before it’s too late.

I think they mean re-opening after the systems crashed and they had to close the shop temporarily last week.

Exactly that. Looks like they're reopening the webshop this morning at 10am.

I see the wort kits are still going to be ongoing, Keg King has bought the 500 litre BM and will continue to produce the wort kits on the premises in Springvale. Could be a good move as the price of electricity continues to go up.

Where are my fellow Westies going to for their gas swaps/refills now? Looks like I've had a leak and can't just drive down the road to replace it like I've done for years

Absolutely, I ordered yesterday afternoon after reading the above suggestion, put the gas bottles out overnight and they had already been swapped over before I woke up with my AIBAs hangover this morning. Will definitely use from now on.
