    This is all I see on the LHBS these days and it's been going on for months now, so frustrating

      that reminds me...just bought some more bulk base and speciality malts. Have enough hops to outlast my current and this new order of malts...but just in case a kilo each of fuggles and tettnanger should do nicely.

        Yep people should stop panic buying so my orders can go through.

          All I want is a Bottle capper, some Acidisan, some bucket grommets and a few 5lt carboys

          Grains and hops are okay for now

            Grommets are easy:

            The capper I struggled for a few months as well but managed to track one down just before the current panic buy.

                I've been seeing a lot of bottle cappers on Facebook Marketplace. - I'm looking for a decent mill, they are so expensive here, looks like it will be cheaper to import from overseas. Anyone know what sort of import duty I'd be looking at?

                  Sa hop farms delivered 8kg of local hops to a friend here 2 weeks ago so I think they still have stock. And your local brewery currently has no use for their stock so you could pick up decent amounts of grain and hops there I inagine

                    Yup. I think its the panic buying plus I know their stock replenishments have been holed up by delays at customs and shipping, together with expensive import prices.

                            I have seen a lot of guys looking for cappers, and everywhere is reported as being out of stock. But I think 'overthehop' still seems to have them listed as in stock. JHB but I am sure they courier.

                              I am also struggling to get hold of a capper. Was going to try to start my first brew in a week or so, but will not without a capper. I will post here if I find anything...

                              Good luck, it's quite frustrating.
