Chinees Hops, Beware

[praxis178]

hypothetically, if someone were to get them tested for whatever nasties are in there, what facilities would be required and what would you test for ?


cheers

Contact customs and quarantine, if they let it into the country then they will pick up the tab on testing and disposal should it be a problem.....

I didn't participate in the chinese hop fiasco gerard, like I said, just curious to know what nasties they would hold.

Has anyone thought that there could be a simple answer to this - is there any air in the pack ?

If so it would expand when it warms up

To test this theory you could just sling the pack back in the freezer and it should return to the original shape.

Pretty sure he said it puffed up while frozen.

Not how I read it:

'so they sat in the freezer frozen for months until I decided to through them out.'

 

[bum]

So he took them out of the freezer to throw them out and then later rummaged through the bin to check on their welfare?

You're a weird man, Gregs.

Slightly :icon_offtopic: but does Tsing Tao use Chinese hops?

I'll do the testing if you ship some to me. I'll slip some into my mother-in-law's tea. If she dies, I'll let you know.

Now that would be a good drink to share around Bribie, I’ll be down your way in July visiting some friends on Bribie Island, would I be welcome? I can bring some of my own and we could swap notes.

Consider yourself pencilled in I'll be in comp mode then, and should be some good quaffers on tap by then.

Pay attention! This happened whilst they were frozen in the freezer with all of our other frozen goods i.e.: fish, beef, ice cream, ECT. Everything is still frozen and intact, except the hops.

 

[Kleiny]

'antifreeze' as a preservative

Mine are all gone and doing whatever bad chinese hops do at the tip

Given that the items are packed at room temperature and then frozen, there is no reason (if it's still sealed) why they would expand when warmed up.
Nothing I have ever defrosted after vacuum sealing and freezing has ever expanded upon defrosting it.

Kev, I bet youll still have these hops 12 months from now if you havent already used them.

By the way, the Chinees hoped contraption of a beer you fed Scott has fixed up his infected throat. I think you may be on to something and your about to make billions selling it to pharmaceutical companies worldwide.

What was that recipe again?
