Muddy Waters Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 I just purchased a Coopers PLASTIC HYDROMETER for $3 at Big W [biggrin] So can everyone please keep this to themselves. The fact that Weggl and I shop at the same Big W store will make it an even bigger blow for him [innocent] The hydrometer was sitting on the shelf with the airlocks and stuff. I assume it came from one of the several DIY kits that were open but I chose to overlook this and take it up with staff who decided it was easier just to sell it to me for $3. Due to one of the DIY boxes being totally split open I also got the chance to have a close look at the wonderful new fermentors - unfortunately it looks like it is too fat for my brewing fridge as well as too tall [crying] ...ggrrr I should also not mention that I bought their remaining 4 boxes of LDM...that may be the hair that breaks weggls back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matty A Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 [lol] That's pretty funny Muddy, although it might give him idea. He may just run in their and start pulling the kits apart and buying the indiviudal bits for less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muddy Waters Posted February 22, 2011 Author Share Posted February 22, 2011 [biggrin] Maybe he was the one who opened them in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GregT5 Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Maybe there is a job opening for Weggl....stacking shelves at Big W[biggrin] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muddy Waters Posted February 23, 2011 Author Share Posted February 23, 2011 Thanks for not alerting Weggl everyone [biggrin] I heard a high pitched screaming from over Manly Vale way last night and thought he may have gotten word of my luck.

Matty A Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Well he hasn't posted anything yet. Im actually surprised the scream wouldn't have come from you when he popped up at your place demanding the hydrometer. [ninja] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weggl Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 You bugger Muddy, I was there Wednesday, not one open fermenter box, did anybody see you tearing the box apart? If you were any sort of a mate you would have done a box for me. No I\u2019m not screaming I\u2019m actually crying. Not only did he get a stray PLASTIC HYDROMETER, he bought all the boxes of PET bottles. Bugger *@@^& and poo. 3 bloody $, I just paid around $34 for a bloody GLASS HYDROMETER.

Muddy Waters Posted February 23, 2011 Author Share Posted February 23, 2011 Sorry mate. It wasn't me who tore the box apart (there are others already open now...perhaps the hydrometer has fallen out since my visit [innocent] ) but I did buy the last box of PET bottles and all the LDM. $34 for a glass hydrometer!!!!! It must be a pretty bloddy good one. Even Dave's has them for $15.50. If you are looking to buy some PET it might be best to buy a DIY kit. If you break down the cost it'd be good value even if you don't need another fermentor. I reckon get a refund for your glass hydrometer and buy a DIY kit....you'll get a PLASTIC HYROMETER then.

weggl Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Just guessing on the price, bought a stack og stuf from Dave, figured it out while driving and guessed the hydrometer was $34 did not give me a receipt. Went back to Big W, there is a sign hanging up. [pinched] 'ANYBODY WHO HAS INFO ON A MISSING"PLASTIC" HYDROMETER CONTACT MANAGMENT, REWARD- 1 PLASTIC HYDROMETER". I kept my mouth shut,mate.

weggl Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Went to the Big W Fri. they actualy had 4 boxes of bottles! Just 4 no more.Saw Muddy's Coopers new fermenter that was open, gee you sure made a mess of the box. Was not sure if it was the same box or a new one that had been opened, so I had a closer look, guess what, no PLASTIC HYDROMETERS.[pinched] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
