|

Hey guys,
I’m about halfway through building a hybrid system (some electric, some propane) here stateside. In about 10 months, my wife and I are moving to the Gold Coast area (house hunting trip in December) and having read the thread about converting from US to ROW, I noticed there are things that seem to be difficult to obtain there.
If I were to start planning now, there’s a good chance I could stuff things into our shipping container that might make life for me much easier when we get there.
Anyone have any items they think are just impossible to get there that should be brought over?

Generally speaking if something needs to be imported it will be more expensive and harder to get in AUS/NZ due to distance. Both have a huge brewing following and community so we tend to get lots of parts orders to both places but shipping is of course higher than if shipping within North America.
I would order what you need now to your US address and then import assuming there's no additional cost to doing this. Start here: https://shop.theelectricbrewery.com
Cheers!

yes the aussies pay more for everything but wages are a little higher, even filling a Co2 tank is much higher than here, I have a couple of regular aussie guys on our forum at brewers friend, I can point a couple out if needed

Re-reading this I want to make sure I understand: What exactly are you converting? What's "ROW"?
Is it the control panel adaptation to 220-240V countries you are referring to? This one here: http://www.theelectricbrewery.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=25393
There's no 120V available in Australia. It's 230V only, so that thread explains how to build for such a country.
Good luck!
Kal

ROW = Rest of World.
I've already gone through the thread about converting my US 120 to Australian 230 so I have most of the bits on order that I'll need. What I'm curious about is whether there are any bits that may be worth bringing extra of when we move... we'll have a shipping container that I can probably put some stuff in.
