Hey fellow Perthians,

Where do you guys get your domiones from?
Im NOR but i guess i can travel if i have to.

Was goig to get from FSD but the postage doubles the cost :angry-banghead:

Cheers

Just shoot Sue an email and she might be able to work out a cheaper option for postage, even if not, good quality is worth a little extra.. you can use and re use oak

Try the Homebrew shop in the Stock Road Markets , I've got staves from there before .

Roll out the barrel, aren't they in WA?

Yeh good as gold , just using the same lot for the second time around now .

A kilo of the 5Star dominoes will easily oak 100lt@65%ABV if ya use 10gr/lt,they are quality and consistent ta boot wich is very important to me when ya talk about that volume,20bucks extra for that is very cheap in my book considering the overall saveing's we make in this hobby,I like ta use the same products all the time for quality and consistency,and the oak maturation is the last part of a long process and I donot see an advantage in takeing risk's will my hard won spirit at that stage.cheers hillzabilly ;-)

Cheers for he info guys, yep totally get we want quality just thought there might be at least 1 other place to get from in perth apart from ordering from over east.

Yeah that's true. Looks like I'll be putting an order in asap then :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Oak dominoes are sourced from here http://www.suberoak.com/index.php/
When I did the group buys, 20kg bags is what they sell.
Try starting a group buy, you might be surprised by demand

Damn, too late. Just got a 1kg from FSD.
Will be keen for a group buy in about 100L time 8-}

Brew mart on railway parade in Bayswater sells dominoes and staves in both American and French oak. Pretty cheap too!

:text-+1: Still builders generally are the ones to source quality dominos from, hands down and no brainier apposed to HBS. IMO

Goto your local green shed.
You will just need to chop them into slivers and toast/char to your liking
