Hmmm i have 2 10 jets that i did get from auscrown and they were not $24 they were about 3 years ago. Ann was good to deal with but i think she is no longer at auscrown. The difference between Buying from some one like BB or other brewing supplier, is knowledge they know what we are on about. Im willing to pay premium for that sort of support, knows what im asking about, auscrown dont know what as brewers we are looking for.
They are a wholesaler i think and are of the mind that the buyer knows what they are looking for. With out places like BB CB MM we would not be in the position we are in now as brewers, but we seem to like to knock them down as money hungry profitiers. Ive had beers with 2 of formention business owners and a couple of long calls to the other, all have looked after me and i know non of them are getting mega rich over running a business that supports us as brewers.
It takes all sorts. +1 and+1 Some people are just "penny wise,pound foolish"
Victorian dairy farmers currently get app.35c per litre at the farm gate,I'll let other ppl work out the profit the supermarkets make on that :beer: It applies all over :angry:
