Suggestions for Importing Equipment

[Chuck]

I'm thinking of bringing a container back from the States. I'm looking to fill up it up with things I can sell here.

Does anyone have ideas/suggestions as to homebrew equipment that is hard to get in NZ or is just outrageously expensive?

Cheers-
Jim

I think MAF may not agree. And NZ Hops may look to remove your testicles if this happened.

I,m thinking of getting a grain mill from here www.barleycrusher.com with 7Ib hopper
what can u do it for, in US/NZ dollars?
I will be away all next week so msg me and I will get back to you...no hurry

Another vote for grain mills. I would love to get one but even without the hopper the shipping is almost half the cost.

Corny kegs should also be fairly easy to sell although I think a couple of people have the same idea.

Yeast would also be another idea if you don't mind products which have a use by date (and need to be kept cool). It would be nice to try some white labs yeast.

Plastic conical fermentors are a nice option for the brewer who cant part with $1000+ for a stainless one, Grain Mills, Im not to sure how cheap they will be but large heavy duty pots the ones we get here are a little thin and if you want to add heat to the bottom of them to step mash they just scorch the grain. Just a thought

Beer engines and grain crushers

[Chuck]

How much do you think beer engines would sell for in NZ? I don't see any on TradeMe.

[Greig McGill]

Going rate seems to be around $200 when they do show up.

I think you may have opened a can of worms for yourself buddy, kiwi homebrewers are gagging for cheap/er american homebrew gear!

[Martin Bridges]

March pumps would be good
