Buying And Selling Protocols

[clean brewer]

If its any consolation, id like to put out a big thanks to Beerbouy who has just bought the rest of my tallies and other bottles, transaction was done within 2 days and he had them picked up this morning, sure, it was COD but good to see a fellow brewer follow through with a deal..

Im thinking full inbox after reading Bribies post

"Caught up with Quantocks, Fermented at the Squire Bar last week. I pm'd them to declare if they didn't want the photo posted, haven't heard back (hope they are still alive )"

 

[chappo1970]

Just a thought. Not wanting to enter into who's right and who's wrong flaming but... Could the green herbal scent of hops maybe mistaken by the Authorities, and or rover the sniffer pooch, as some other illegal green, dried, vacuum sealed and foil packed substance?

Chappo

 

[Jase71]

Ah, so Bribie kidnapped Quantocks and took off with the hop booty !

I was wondering the same thing.

A couple of XMAS's back on returning from an ESB XMAS Party I was cornered by some coppers & a sniffer dog at Epping Station.
In front of other passengers I was escorted to the station masters office. I was asked to empty pockets, take off shoes & socks, pull out shirt. They went through my wallet & my cooler bag (full of empty longnecks). They asked for details of where I had been. They found nothing of course, I have never been near anything illegal in my life! I was dumbstuck. They really didn't believe me. The dog is trained afterall!

Was it the hoppy beers?
Maybe it was the smell of rissoles & the dog was hungry ??

Sounds like a tall tale, but in the name of science, on my next trip I'll travel with a pocket full of hops, see what happens. This will include an international terminal arrival in Malaysia - see if I make it out of the airport and into my taxi, eh ?

Who would like to donate a couple of hundred grams to the cause ? Reg ?

Seriously, I occasionaly get dried plant material from overseas, and all customs (or quarantine?) will do is open it, inspect it, reseal it and put their sticker on it. On teh rare occasion that something has been blocked, they have send me a notice advising me as such. (EDIT: Obviously its legitimate plant material I'm referring to, or Ide be writing this from Long Bay!) So I doubt the Australia Post would A Suspect it's Cannabis or B: Fail to notify the receiver if they have confiscated it.

Look, I'm sure all this will work out and be clear in the end as to what's happenned. I can't see someone jepardinsing their standing as a member here over a lousy hundred bucks.

Even tho Hops are a cousin of Marijuana, I doubt that they smell the same, especially to a dog.. I got told to burn a leaf of a hop plant and it would smell exactly the same, and they dont...

Dogs do sometimes pick up on residual smells of things long gone, maybe someone brushed up against you with a pocket full of cocaine?

more likely someone at the ESB party had been spliffn' and the dog smelt it on you. Any big bob marley fans at the party?

I had a packet of hops that turned up in a sad state and a hand written note from my local police station inside. The postie while delivering it had picked up a herbal aroma, and had headed to the local cop shop as fast as his little scooter could go, very excited about his discovery. Cops obviously had a look, and told him to beggar off and finish delivering them.

:lol: Haha, thats hilarious!

Next well be seeing people processing marijuana into hop like pellets and selling them off as "high alpha hops"

Jase71 you just couldn't help yourself could you? You just got to stir the mash tun that once more!

Only made the simple observation that the pellets would appear to be simular to the "wacky tobaccy", no science involved, but for $10 and laugh I will happily wager the 100g of hops for your overseas trip experiment. Just need to establish how we can conduct this little experiment?

 

[reviled]

Jeez youd be game Jase, would the customs people in Malaysia even ask questions before they sentance you to the death penalty or something similair

Your a game man Jase. I reckon the least that would happen would be a cavity search. Try explaining its only hops for beer brewing as the customs guy with the big hands is slipping on his glove

 

[Jase71]

I thought it would be a good idea to mask the scent of the kilogram of MDMA I'll be packing into my rectum.

To answer your question, Im sure a bag of pungent smelling pellets being discovered at KL International would get me into no small amount of drama, perhaps an overnight lock up until they established what it really was. Knowing my luck, importing hops without a permit may be a federal offence !

So my comment was intended simply to fleece Reg out of some hops

Ah, OK - there goes my plan.

I'm pretty sure Barry & Korev can vouch that we weren't standing around smoking joints at an ex-coppers that evening.

I said to the search party maybe I sat against something on the train - they said that was unlikely to cause the dog to go for me.

Anyway, maybe Quantock's has gone away on holiday or something.
