Dollar Reaches Parity...

I guess the only downer is Quarantine have to do there job and poke holes in the sealed hops bags too check em out.

tom :icon_cheers:

Odds r they will only do it to one or 2 bags. And they don't sit around. Once they are checked , if ok, they are sent to rhe person. So it's only a couple days

None of my bags were poked, prodded or punctured.

They opened one bag fully and then zip locked again but punctured about another 5. They did arrive a couple of day later so no biggy really.

who do you know? depends on the inspector on the day I guess! maybe even who its from. I bet quarantine has seen a few package from hops direct recently!

Sold

Triple Batch of Bo Pils coming up with 1 pound of Saaz. I hope i don't **** it up.

Just bought a monster mill at $1.05 US a couple of days ago... $157US = $153.60AU (after paypal conversion) pretty happy with that.

I will deffinatly be getting a mill come tax time if it's still this good

There's a whispering in the wind that a new mill will be hitting these shores shortly that'll give the yank mills more than a run for your dollar.... B)

Much as I really have got into good synch and synergy with my Marga and can now whack through a grain bill in around 11 minutes (trying to get it down to 10) a better mill would certainly interest me, to make a "magic box" style crusher.
Especially as I won't have to pay postage. Bring it on Ross.

Ross...more details...

Sounds like a real winner if it's aussie made and comparable in price.
