Clever stuff. We send our agriculture gas samples to a lab where they analyse CO2 and N2O using gas chromatography. About $10 a sample. Interesting, nitrous oxide is Far worse than CO2 in terms of a GHG but it gets little mention in the funny pages...

looks good! Went to Ballina and Lismore Aldi this week but none to be seen...... bummer.

Little buggers, still air and humidity not a good combo. Mabye birds and the like are taking them out above the roof line too? I've whacked the mites with some mitecide - seems to have done the trick. Interestingly the mites went for the old leaves on early bull-bines - (Dr Rudi and Tettnang)...

Yes, tipped out half the can and went downstairs for a homebrew. My homebrew is not great, so that's saying something...

Gave into temptation and grabbed a 4 x 500mL Carlsberg at Aldi today ( none of the Christmas specials in stock). Bad move. It tastes like water with a dash of marzipan... Blrrrk.

Crazy attack of mites this week (will get a photo this-afternoon)... be on the look out gents.

Just what's in the local paper, sounds like January is likely. https://www.northernstar.com.au/news/first-look-tour-of-ballinas-first-brewery/3259303/

Prices are rising extremely rapidly in Ballina due to cashed up retirees moving up from Sydney and unscrupulous real estates. It's just a big retirement village now. Looking forward to the brewing opening, shame it's out at the airport to catch the Byron holiday makers...

Yup. This is Australia at present.

Yep, our rents gone up twice since we moved in. Across the road are retired accountants from Sydney. Looked at a unit across the road last weekend (2 bedroom shoebox) and had to battle way in past a dozen investors - all willing to pay way more than us with the plan of renting it out at...

Ditto. Shame because geographically it's beautiful. Otherwise, it's a touristy rip off. Nearby Ballina brewery due to open soon, I'm keen to give that a go.

This beer with the LupulCitra is bloody smashable. Thankyou brewman deals

Under a protected cropping system (like they use for cucumbers etc.) many of the variables could be manipulated producing year round fresh hops if desired. Lots of crops going this way now to take advantage of seasonal gaps in the market, or to grow plants in areas outside their natural range...

Wait till driverless cars arrive. Alcohol boom!!

I stand corrected, with the current state of affairs - looks like people are turning to the grog.

The big guys just want to protect profits in what is a dwindling market (people are drinking less beer due to nanny state restrictions). Turdwaffle is about to find out what happens when you try and fudge the system to benefit the big players (unless he stacks the royal commission - which is...

Edit: I see target has several models at varying prices. https://www.target.com.au/p/sodastream-play-sparkling-water-maker-white/58987971 I'm not sure if any of these are the same as the Aldi one.

For the Soda-stream carbonators, there is an Aldi special coming up ($49). https://www.aldi.com.au/en/special-buys/special-buys-wed-6-december/wednesday-detail-wk49/ps/p/sodastream-cool-machine-1/ I shall keep an eye out for the Aldi potable hose if it comes on special. Thanks for the tip S.E.

About 10 metres to a garden tap. Good idea, would have to run it out the front door of the house though...

cuttings might do alright if anyone near you has excess.
