G,day Paul.

If you are looking for a good homebrew shop, the best around your area is Marks Home Brew.
It's on the Maitland Road in Islington. Not that far of a drive for you.
I can highly recommend him, he's my regular supplier of all I need.

thanks warra48. ill cheak it out next time im out that way. ive got the fermenter now so i can get the wash started and ill get the still just before xmas.
your lucky living at port.my dad owns a cabin at the aqutic caravan park and the mrs and i get up there as much as we can. we love it there.

Gday mate and welcome, hope you enjoy your brewing as much as i do, there is oodles of info on here from a wide range of great ppl but if you cant find what your looking for then there is always someone who can answer your questions!!!

[drunkpaul]

thanks lethaldog. i sure know where to go if i get stuck or need a hand with something.i'm interested in spirts but may try my luck at beer one day.

Welcome to the board, mate. Been thinking of building my own condenser to fit on top of my brew kettle recently, too. The missus likes vodka and absynthe so would be a good way to keep her happy with all the gear I keep buying. Mind you, she's loving the Normandy cider I've just brewed and it's not even on tap yet...The danger of letting other people sample your hydro tests is that they want to drink from the fermenter just as much as you do!

Welcome to the forum DrunkPaul.

Lethal, I'm pretty sure I've still have some plans somewhere if interested.

Cheers Hirns

Glad to be of help.
That's what forums such as this one are all about, helping other members.

Bet you found it hard to get away. Mark can certainly talk!

[drunkpaul]

he was kind of busy but still made the time to talk me through the things i wanted to know. he certainly knew more than the tobaccanist im getting the still from,thats for sure.he could organise his shop a little better.he had crap everywhere. haha.

Never been to MHB, but it doesn't sound any different to the 8-10 LHBS's that I've been to.

[drunkpaul]

i havent been to many home brew shops but MHB was a brothel. a mate said it was the same about a year ago,so i guess looks arn't that important.
he knew his stuff though. helped me heaps.
