Dustin Frothman Posted June 1, 2020 Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 Hi all, long time reader first time poster. 😬 I'm about to start brewing with the Beerdroid. I picked up one secondhand and it's being brought up to me here in Brisbane in a few weeks. How long does shipping usually take for ingredients purchased via the BrewArt store? I'd like to try and time my purchases so that they arrive around the same time. Cheers, Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given you are in Brisbane though and that is where shipping comes from, it will only be a few days/week at tops. When you get the ingredients though, put any yeast and hops in the fridge as soon as possible. What type of beers do you like brewing/drinking? Also, please ask any questions you have, we have a few decent brewers on board who can give suggestions.

I mostly enjoy Pale Ales and Stouts. I'm planning to use the Brewprint ingredients as per Shem's spreadsheet. I'll experiment with some dry hopping and take things further from there as my experience grows. I've read most of the content here and on the Facebook page so will try to avoid asking any of the questions that have been answered ad nauseam. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been ordering extra ingredients so as to build up a bit of stock for extra brews not accounted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dustin Frothman Posted June 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2020 Thanks for the advice everyone. Order placed Tuesday and delivered today - brilliant service. There were a lot of boxes - my building's regular parcel post guy looked amused. Perfectly timed with my Droid and Flo arriving with a friend on Sunday. 🍻 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not unusual as boxes for Adelaide go to the Sunshine Vic sorting facility first and sit there for days and days etc. But no longer get pissed off as learnt to have extra stocks.

Dustin Frothman Posted June 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2020 The distribution centre is obviously here in the Greater Brisbane area which expedites things. Sadly freight is slow in SA in general. Are the ingredients manufactured down there at Regency Park? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some are like the the malt however the store warehouse for BrewArt and Coopers homebrew (tins/enhances etc) is just out of Brisbane as the cost to set up in Adelaide was to expensive both to open a warehouse and for state/overseas transport distribution. Australia Post in its cost cutting exercise (at the expense of SA customer service & jobs) basically closed the major distribution centre here in lieu of high tech computerised centres at Sunshine Vic and now QLD. Not meaning to offend but let’s face it the Eastern States don’t give a toss about SA, WA or NT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustin Frothman Posted June 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2020 That's interesting. You're right SA gets a poor deal. It doesn't offend me mate, I'm a South Aussie stuck in Brisbane for work. Have been trying to get home permanently for a while now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, new you were a good South Australian, you stated visiting some top Adelaide historic pubs 😊. News states QLD is next to be cleared by SA so home soon.

I usually can easily add an extra day or three onto deliveries once they hit Perth . And Covid made it even longer again.. let us know if you ever need anything . I can express stuff down ( though you do have the beer shops i am lacking 🤣🤣🤣) . You in Perth ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted June 19, 2020 Report Share Posted June 19, 2020 Yes mate,Perth Luckily some good knowledgeable home brew places as well. Vice/versa if you need to source something let me know. Mick 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
