Sorry lads I cant work out how to delete this post. I have had a change of mind. I am going to keep my setup and upgrade in the future. Sorry again.

I am looking to sell my system. It is a three vessel RIMS system and is on good working condition with all camlock fittings. I am looking to sell the system as a whole but I will sell items seperate for the asking price. See photos for more detail. Full system - $870 I can answer any questions...

Thanks mate I'll buy some from them.

Thanks mate I wasn't sure of the growing season

I have just moved to Brisbane and have seen that some people are able to grow hops here. My question is where am I able to buy hop rhizomes in or around Brisbane?

This is just what I am after. If it goes into production I'll buy. From what I have seen so far looks really good. Great work mate.

G'day all, I am moving to Darwin in the new year and have been looking for a home brew club. Sadly I have not been able to find any online. My question is are there any home brew clubs in Darwin and if so how do I get in contact with one of the members? Any help is appreciated. Thanks. Bushy

Thanks for all the info and putting up with my inexperiance. I will try all of the things that Thirstyboy and Wes mentioned. I have also been doing an iodine test and I am getting full conversion. Again thanks.
