[Steve]

No worries TDA - I'll take a snap of it tonight. Any particular poses? Next to a stubbie/longneck etc etc or on the weighing scales? That reminds me MHD I weighed it last night and its actually 1.21kgs! Bargain!
Cheers

Now you know how I feel - My hop flowers arrive in a 5kg brick, I have to break them up into 90gm packs, it's a nightmare... They look like they're sealed with Glad wrap - make sure you get something properly airtight, or in no time, your purchases will be only fit for stuffing pillows B)

QLD guys, you are welcome to come round & vacuum seal your hops in oxygen barrier foils...

cheers Ross

 

[Steve]

5kg Brick Jeezus! How long does it take to split 5 kgs into 90gms packs? Cheers Ross - we're splitting it very soon, then its going into zip lock baggies and tupperware (one more thing i'll have to steal from 'er in doors)
Cheers

[Vlad the Pale Aler]

Some of the hops have arrived in WA, but apparantly not exactly what we all ordered so it may be a lucky dip when the big one lands.

 

[Fingerlickin_B]

As promised, one lump of nugget hop flowers:

My turn:



1kg each of Cluster, POR and Nugget.

Time to experiment!

PZ.

 

[Batz]

I have mine as well..lot of hops!

I bought 1kg of POR and Cluster to do a 'couple' of Aussie ales. For $18 I went for the 1kg but I'll never use it all in time.Anyone want 500gm of either?

Batz

 

[Screwtop]

Why not, I'll have half!

500g of each Batz please, PM me if still available.

 

[Ross]

I missed out on the buy by a few hours, I'd be keen to purchase anything anyone doesn't want, except POR.

The hops will be packaged & made available to everyone through the CraftBrewer site.


Cheers Ross

Got my stash yesterday, thanks Michael! Put on a batch using the Tettnang last night, one thing though, what's this year's AA %'s or should we just use last years?

I thought the Tettnang were not included anymore in the buy.
Just the POR and Cluster.

How did you sneak those in DJR?

cheers

[T.D.]

Yeah Johnno, that's what I thought. In fact, I decided not to go in the bulk buy because of the fact hallertau and tettnang were withdrawn. Bugger!

 

[Stuster]

[post="127559"][/post]​

Ditto. What's the story here? Were they part of the bulk buy after all? :angry:

 

[nifty]

Yeah, same. that's why I withdrew.

 

[AndrewQLD]

No they weren't part of the bulk buy, but they were short some of the cluster and nugget so slipped in a few kilos of tettnang to make up the difference. Only a few lucky brewers were able to benefit.
