So, I've just painfully parted with $55 for a measly two kilo's of Cream of Tartar from the baking supplies place down the road. FIFTY FIVE DOLLARS!!!

I've searched for a couple of weeks now for buying it in bulk, the best I found was $20 a kilo from a place that supplies schools and that (for playdough) but they ONLY supply schools.

Has anyone found anywhere else that sells in bulk that I could check out? I'm about to start risking myself on the B2B China websites! :wink:

Shipping to you from the US would probably be a killer. I get mine online from a restaurant supply store. Do you have any online stores in your country like that Coolah?

I looked a bit last night, and didn't see any better pricing than you had already quoted, but you might look into home beer brewing supply places. (And there are some in Australia, I checked.

I've managed to track down someone through a friend who can get it for $19 a kilo. What is this stuff made of?! Given I can get bi-carb for $2 a kilo, and citric for $3 a kilo!! :shock:

It is a precipitate of a salt (tartaric acid) in the wine making process. They scrape it out of wine barrels. If you know someone who makes wine......
