There used to be over 300 varieties of garlic in Australia, and from a dodgey memory this is now down to a 10th of it. It is not a seeding plant, a living bulb (searching for correct term), so once the bulb is dead, so is the variety. Importation of the wider varieties must be done over again, who has the time and money for that ... but, whilst the Aussie stuff is about $12 a kilo, thats shit loads and the local stuff craps all over the imports.

But, my bro-in-law has just done some contract brewing in China, and the exception rather than the rule was type 90 hops. The majority of hoping done in the plant was done post filtration and to a specification; aka sticky wort ferment and using a hop extract. (who said CUB would be standalone here .. ey .... ey!!!)

Funnily enough, the beer is now bittered at kettle-up and with T90's ...

@ Darren: Despite having had issues with you in the past, I'd rather be polite. You had a valid point about the judges in my opinion but it's not necessarily relevant in every thread. It's certainly not relevant here. If you keep it where it belongs it simply makes more sense.
 
Nah, its the right thread for Darren. Seems that he lives in a perfect world ... pass the bong ey ....

Sounds more like he's been drinking the bong water. Sour grapes. Start your own thread so the rest of us can ignore it a bit more easily Darren.
 
And as the 94 year old Granny says, 'never let the truth get in the way of a good story!'
 
I totally disagree with you blokes' attitude towards towards Darren. While he's off topic here I would love him to actually explain why copper braid at the bottom of an urn is better than BIAB. Give the poor sod a break. :angry:

Put me in for a kilo of Cluster for sure. :icon_cheers:
 
Ok interest looks good.

I think I can dump a 20 kg bag of each variety. It will be a case of first in best dressed.

A quick postage check has about

$1.00 kg for Queensland
$2.00 kg for Estern States
$3.00 kg for the rest

BUT we'll see when I actual visit the post office

I am still to wait for the chinese company to get back o me on postage to Aus. Once I get that, I can work on the final price. I'll set up a thread in BULK BUY (whatever) and actually take orders.

Rules will be simple
1. First in - Best dressed til the bag is gone
2. 1 kilogram min order. All orders in kilo lots
3. Orders will be immediately unpacked, just thrown into freezer bags and mailed in those pouches in Aus post. They will be ok for the few days in the mail
4. I will keep all abreast of progress.

If you dont know, I did the bulk hop order a few years ago when we all got I kg hop flower plugs dirt cheap, so can be trusted not to overcharge. This will be at cost
