Can anyone recommend me a decent/cheap supplier of isopropyl alcohol please?

p.s. is this stuff mail order-able?

You can get it in maplin, and they wont look down their nose at you like a pharmacy. Or ebay.

Greene King – but it’s cheap and shite!

St Austell Brewery do a fairly decent IPA…

Most good supermarkets. Personally I suggest Tesco as they often have Sierra Nevada on 3 for 4 deals. I’m also quite keen on M&S Staffordshire IPA. Sorry, what? Oh… Not that IPA…

Like most things I just go on ebay nowadays.

Marstons Old Empire. That’s a good’un.

Harveys do a nice one as well.

Sierra Nevada 3 for 4???? Blimey, will be calling in tonight then. That’s LOVELY.

Maplin are far too expensive – try CPC

Mmm… Little Creatures IPA.

Until the 2nd Nov, T*sco are doing their “Tesco Finest American Double IPA” at 3 for £4 (330ml bottles, 9.2%ABV). (Actually brewed by Brewdog).

Whitstable Bay Organic is much better

For cleaning metal acetone is more effective at removing oils etc, but it will damage plastics.

…and it catches fire v easily. You’ve only got to walk past it and it’s up in flames.

Current favourite = Tryst Raj

How much do you want?

We buy it in 1000L at a time from a company called Univar.

two threads for the price of one here.

Oh BTW I mean the solvent, not the beer. 😉

You mean you’ve never drunk the solvent?

Pussy!

I use this seller and would recommend

quick delivery, does 70% & 99% IPA

slap some mud on your discs.

although adopting a similar approach with your fork internals may end in tears.

I like Deuchars

Hopton IPA from Thornbridge Brewery in the Peaks. Very very tasty.

Deschutes Inversion IPA gets my nod, but their Mirror Pond PA is pretty good if you don’t like lots of hops. Haven’t managed to find it over here yet though.

And yes, Maplin. IPA is also used in cleaning electronics (or at least old tape decks).

washing up liquid is cheaper. What’s on your discs that needs cleaning off with solvent?

Are you talking about advertising?

Only after a litre or so – that’ll last me about 3 or 4 years (unless I drop the bottle like I just did with my Industrial Meths…argh!).

Cheers for the info.

p.s. didn’t see the booze refs coming;) er..anyone tried Marstons IPA recently?

Trent Steel, cheers for the supplier details – they’ve also got some other stuff that’ll be spot on for work use (lot cheaper than I’ve previously paid). Thanks.

glad to help 🙂

thanks from me too, I need some for cleaning fork internals

If you brew your own this is very good, St Peters IPA
