Ingredients in Melbourne

[Wolfman77]

I had a search but couldn't find a thread.

Is there a thread that points out some good shops in good old Melbourne town for some ingredients?

There's a stockfeed place in Ascot Vale that sell some cracked Maize. Is green valley grains any good?

What about bulk sugar? I can get Dex form a HBS. But about bulk raw? Bulk white? Bulk molasses?

What else have I forgotten?

It's pretty hard to beat aldi, coles, woolworths sugar prices. I've used Green Valley molasses but personally prefer Bundaberg although it's a lot more expensive.

Sugar, Costco or Aldi. Molasses, depends what you want. I've stuck to refinery molasses for all my rums, coming anywhere between about 45 to 55 bucks for 14kg (approx. 9 litres)... and the answer there is whoever is cheapest combo of price and shipping or convenience to pickup. Cheapest flat rate, probably Kegland.

Grains and maize and the like, can be seasonal but also beerco, kegland, HBS, or indeed some stockfeed places in some cases.

I have used greenfield cracked maize and it was fine. I keep comparing home brand 2kg sugar to the 25 kg bulk branded stuff and the home brand wins by a mile

Hi Wolfman, I use Green Vally Grains in all the bourbon I make. I buy the cracked maize, barly and wheat from my local feed store, never had any issues with it, the only thing I do is run it through a corona mill that I bought from 5star, works well for my needs.
Rye I usually get from Beerco when they have something on special, I buy this in smaller quantities so it gets used pretty quickly.

Cheers Scamp

I have seen that they have barley and wheat. Is it malted? I couldn't find that info.

[Wellsy]

Generally noth8ng will be malted in a feed store place, it is feed for animals so not point in malting any of it

I've got one of those accounts. :)) It's the only malt I use for home brewing.

I've purchased Maize and Molasses from Pet Horse & Farm - Free delivery if you spend over $150 is a nice feature.

the molasses is the Qld Molasses brand $36 for 25kg.

Dumb question, where do you sign up? I found the ordering portal but nowhere to create an account.

Answering my own question, you email Gladfield and they will provide an account application form to complete.
