Hi Anthony, I have a few cuttings I started about 3 or 4 weeks ago. I did let them get a bit hot and not many have survived, but the ones that did are now going strong and they should be plenty big enough before winter. I used a little green house but that's probably not necessary in summer.

That's exactly what I did! Now like others I just use the refractometer before I pitch the yeast. Plus I had trouble in the past getting two readings the same with the refractometer so I went off it a bit.

Just make sure you use regular oranges, I used the only ones I could find at my local little Shop and I think they were a marmalade orange. Bloody bitter as! Been sitting for about a year now so it's time to give it another test.

Hi herkit, I have a little known variety called Red Earth, Hops West down in Albany sell them. If your keen just shoot me a PM mate and we can try tee something up for when I'm in town next. But please double check you know where Wanneroo is before you say you'll be ok to come pick them up, a...

Wanneroo

Oh, nowhere near you unfortunately mate I'm in Perth. You might have better luck next year as no one cuts their rhizomes during the growing season, about all you'll find at the moment are hops grown from cuttings.

Where are you Ralph? If your NOR i can provide you with one of these if you like? Free of charge mate.

Im not a member of the WestCoast Brewers either as im always away for the meetings.

Sounds good to me, I'll have to brew something that tastes nice, the last two have been disappointing. I do have a Marzen lagering that I'm hoping might be ok.

Oh nuts that's no good mate! Yeah for sure I understand it's all good, in many ways a rhizome swap is much easier for me than trying to grow up a cutting. Hope your not in too much discomfort.

I just tried to do a combined postage and got knocked back. EBay said the seller had blocked combined postage or something like that. Has anyone else had any luck latley? I have it all in my cart then hit the button to request a new total and that's when I got the knock back. After reading...

This is awesome :)

Hi Kingy, I like your syphon technique here mate, can you block the short hose to stop the flow? It's very similar to one of these I've been looking at getting one. Did you drill the stopper yourself?

I don't but I've been thinking about it, I don't think I'd go 100l tho maybe 30l for some special projects. It's something that I'm interested in learning more about.

Hi Judge, cool mate that sounds like a good trade :) I'm at work at the moment so give me a few days to get home before you go chopping it yet please, they start wilting really fast so I'd like to take the cutting and get it straight into the seedling tray with the rooting gel. Just to be clear...

I'm just up the road in Wanneroo so there are definitely a few hops plants north of the river! Mine didn't have a great year last year, this year I have retic and they seem to be doing much better! I have a few spare Red Earth cuttings growing really well if anyone is interested? I'm happy to...

Oh I love the term "jumping the shark" never heard it before.

Yeah I'm on my phone at the moment can any one verify that I'm showing in the numbers. 7:25 pm.

I was just messing around Zwitter because that's exactly what I'd say to a work mate but half-heartedly because as you say it's not into the copper so not a huge concern. Sorry for the offense mate. On other news mine has arived today! Sweet! I've unboxed but not double checked every thing is...
