An Unexpected Equipment Supplier

Post by Flyerstarter » Tue Nov 10, 2015 8:26 pm

I recently came across somewhere I never before considered a reasonable place to source home brewing equipment - A Chinese supermarket in Milton Keynes... :D

It was well stocked with cheap brew pots in various sizes 40 - 80ltr, large sieves. industrial size spoons & jugs, sugar.... the list goes on.

Although this may be out of the way for some it certainly is worth having a look if you have a similar store locally?

Wherever we go in spain we always dive in these places i picked up a few items recently. The quality leaves a lot be desired but hey it's cheap :D .
