Glass Demijohn

Hey guys,
Just a heads up. If you need glass demijohns, Kitchen Warehouse have them on sale at the moment. Got 2 16L demis for $48, usually $60 a pop. They've got an 8L too i think. Glad the missus spotted those. Legend :clap:

Most home brew shops sell cork or silicon bungs that will fit demijohns.

If you are in WA I would suggest that you go to SWAT out in Midvale, they carry an excellent range for the distiller. For Demijohns I use the wide neck 34 Lt ones and the last one I bought were around the $70 mark. You can get them there of they will ship stuff. Link is:

This is where I found the stoppers. You will need the 123/115mm. Delivery was about a week, and they were an excellent fit.
