I emailed him but got no response :confusion-shrug:

I am the Aussie agent for Artisan Copper Works :crazy:

He asked me about your order and i said it was ok to fill it. I assume he'll be in touch with you in due course.

Save time and ensure your order gets filled next time by contacting me :whistle:

Yikes, I thought this was already done. :oops:
I had asked the USA distributor, Ken, to arrange to send 6 to you by flat-rate international post.
It must have fell through the cracks - I'll get back on it.

In the mean time, feel free to twist 5Star's arm to stock a few dozen in Australia.

When communicating with Ken, please let him know if you want hydrometers (for the wash) or alcoholometers (for the spirit).
They are the same price and you can mix and match.
A popular combination is 1 or 2 hydros and the rest alcos.

Thanks Fester, I'll hear from you soon,
Good Idea , 5Star should stock a few, at that price they'd sell like hot cakes ;)

How and why are these any better than the $5 ones from the LHBS ?
I'm not being funny, I do want to know if they are better

Hi kinbo,
Ken reports that he sent 2 emails to you that bounced back to him, please send him another email through the ACW website.

@QLD.Andy, I doubt they are any different. I'm able to vend them in USA for $3.67. Shipping to Australia is much more expensive than USA, I guess there is simply more freight going from China to the US, donno.
If you can get alcoholometers at the LHBS for $5 then that may be the way to go.

Actually, That goes for anybody.
$5 for a alcometer sounds a lot better :D if some one can tell me where?

I realize this thread is a few months old, but I bought an Alcometer two days ago for $10 here in Perth. I spent $174 and got a $20 paddle free.

I have stocks of these now. $17 a pair plus postage.

Better deals for large amounts.
