Sorry AusDB, after my initial enthusiasm i had to juggle weekend shifts to make sure i was in Perth last weekend to pick the missus up from the airport. Gotta work the 11th now. Have a blast gents. Chatty

It should keep flowering for a period. New flowers will form at the base of each petiole (the stem that holds the leaf on to the plant) Chatty

I should be able to make it as well. i'll check tomorrow if i'm working that day otherwise i'll be there. Might even be able to have a tipple this time! I can't offer equipment but am happy to bring whatever else. Let me know Aus. Cheers, Chatty

Is the position still available? Chatty

Has anyone else had the leaves of their plants 'tear' apart? Little splits have been appearing in the leaves of my plants which then develop and the leaves shred themselves. It would appear it might be a K problem. Anyone else seen it before? Chatty

Quarantine is a little more friendly going the other way :P Chatty

You can ask the same question of why there is a restriction on roasted salted peanuts. But hey, agriculture is ticking along pretty well at the moment. The issue will probably be with weevils and other insects as well as viruses/bacteria on the grain. Chatty

Oooh, nice post. Solid argument Chatty

After reading this entire thread with a couple of Guest Lurkers brews under my belt i can't remeber what actually started it. So, I don't feel so bad changing the subject slightly. :P Was Redoak one of the breweries that had a stand at the Good Food & Wine show in Sydney? I remember a...

Great post frothy. Makes it heaps easier to make suggestions when you've told us everything you can! Once you get through the posts that Pistol Patch has provided you should have a better idea of where to go. Revise your questions and pretty soon you'll be hooked! :super: An important note...

Jesus Luke, keep the kids away from that thing. It might only be 150 mm high but i can see a 'Little Shop of Horrors' thing going on at your place soon :P Chatty

Amazing how much variation there is between varieties - the stems on your POR are heaps darker than any of mine. Might be an age thing. Has anyone else got rhizomes of similr vintage? Chatty

Jack, I'll be up before then so if it comes to the crunch you can get it to me in KA and it'll make it to Perth. There may be a handling tax involved though :chug: Chatty

The Xmas case isn't only for Perth brewers. I suggest you start a new list and see if you can get a second group together. The second group can quite comfortable run alongside the first one and i'm sure someone will volunteer to be the drop off point for you guys. Hope is not lost yet...

Just got off the phone from the bride. The news isn't good. She reckons i've got to make some inroads into paying off my house and fix it up before i can build an AG setup. Not all bad though because she does actually want me to build one so i stop pestering her! Sorry kids, i'm out till next...

ATOMT, don't get too stressed with new rhizomes because bud size isn't a real good indication of the potential of the root system. Bare in mind that for the first month or so of the plants life there is very little photosynthetic area and hence it is mainly growing on stored nutrient from the...

Is this a similar process to what happens when you drink a heap of beer on a cold night, get full and then can't feel the cold? Chatty

I take it the Jack Russell is a specially trained 'hop dog'? Similar to a truffle dog :P Nice trellising idea too. Chatty

Looking from on top of the stake the plant is indeed growing in a clock wise direction. The plant naturally grew in that direction so i'm not going to complain. :P Chatty

Have been meaning to do this for a while. These photos were taken on Sunday, which wasn't a particularly wam day and hence not the best for hop growth. Taken at 2 hour intervals. The red marks on the bamboo stick are daily heights, recorded over the last 5 or 6 days. If someone could turn them...
