Mostly Grolsch, some others. Good to very condition. A couple of larger ones too. Pickup Thornbury.

Ha ha, yes, sorry Nigel, I mean brewkid, none this year.

Great idea with the fermenters! Milk crate, fermenter full of water, tomato food.

It makes my heart weep tears of joy to see that :) Mine have sprouted well, but they're quite stunted. I haven't given them anywhere near enough attention, so they're small and struggling. We're about to go away for a few weeks over typically a very hot dry period, so I fear the worst!

The tiniest of sprouts in the crappiest of photos:

Any shoots yet anyone? None here yet, though everything else seems to be sprouting and flowering. Any day now I hope.

Sorry all, new baby born recently and it's been a wee bit busy. Update on stocks: I checked the leftover Chinooks recently and they were mouldy. Seems I stored them too wet. Lesson learnt. No Cascade left. As for planting, I think you'll be hard pressed to kill them. They love rich soil: ours...

Good to hear everyone's got their deliveries. It would be good to hear how everyone is potting them or planting them. Perhaps another thread somewhere?

Heh heh, you are oh so classy :)

Awesome! Would love to get photographic updates as they grow and bloom from everyone.

Yo, I've run out of first choice cascade, but I might have some smaller pieces or mongrels left. I'll let you know via PM.

We had ours limited width-wise by an open-bottomed wine cask, so I'm not sure how large a free root system will grow. Their main root is a tap root which can go quite deep. Have to say I'm no expert. We just chucked them in the ground, and let them go for it. We did have a worm bin right near...

I've now sent PMs to everyone I have on my list, with bank details. Let me know if you haven't heard from me! benny

Alright, please check this list to make sure you're getting what you thought you were getting. Note that the count refers to bags, not individual rhizomes. Each bag should have from 2 to 4, depending on size, quality, and my levels of concentration. Also, I had to fiddle with the Cascade a bit...

OK, that's the Cascade depleted now! jubilakka just scrapes in. Still some Chinook baggies.
