I've been going to the brewcraft hbs in heidelberg (Melbourne) since i started brewing, and it's been dawning on me that they have a fairly limited selection of some things (yeasts, for example). Plus the bloke that was there the first time I went was an absolute champion, gave us some of his home brew and spent a good 20 mins giving us basic pointers, but has since disappeared and his replacement, while a nice guy, doesn't really offer much help.
Anyone know of any good hbs out this side of the city? I hear Grain and Grape is the pick of the bunch, but Yarraville is such a long way away.
Incidentally, there's a bottleshop in Surrey Hills called Grape & Grain, clearly a lot of thought went into that name...
Cheers!
Stu.
