Where To Buy Ingredients In Melbourne ?

[specialev]

I've just moved to Melbourne from Seattle for work and I'll be living here till sometime next year. I'd like to brew some beer while I'm here but haven't found any good shops to support my habit. I tried Cellarplus up by the Vic Market but wasn't impressed by the counter person or their prices.

Is there something I'm missing? The craft appears to be alive and well over here so where are the good shops at?

Grain and grape in Yarraville

Greensborough Home brewing

Can also order from Craftbrewer - they are in queensland but deliver/post

There's others but they would be my pick, especially if you are full mash/all grain.

is the greensborough store till in operation? their website has a homepage citing 2008...I just figured they were defunct.

Pretty sure a lot of brewers use them and they have a lot more stock than the site suggests.

Give them a ring.

Where in Melbourne are you situated? Are you an all grain/full mash brewer?

Certainly is, I was there on Saturday.

Definitely still there, the webpage is very sparsely updated though. I noticed they had quite a few briess malts last time I was there which aren't on the website. If you're after something specific it might be a good idea to call, but they're pretty well stocked.
