If you Google Home Brew Shops in SA you will see what's on offer. As far as I know there aren't any on the Fleurieu Peninsula, Reynella would be the closest to you. Good luck with your searches.

Not real happy with the plastic feet inserts scratch protector plugs which are poor quality but other than that all good: HTH Cobber IP Edited February 17, 2022 by Itinerant Peasant 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
