Mini Bulk Buy Hops Brisbane 2.0

[Bribie G]

Good work, looking forward to the PM.

Edit: 75g of Galena is enough to do five batches of Corona or five batches of my Midnight Train Malt Liquo', the hop I use there.

 

[angus_grant]

huh, learn something every day. I figured you mis-typed "kept mum" but kept schtum is actually a phrase.

Individual PMs sent with costs, satchel address, and pickup address. Also has my mobile and email address.

I will add the final spreadsheet to this post if anybody wants to check my figures.

I'll add another post when Jeff lets me know approximately how long it will take, and another post when it all actually arrives. :super:

Cheers,
Angus.

And Jeff has shipped the hops. :huh: B)

He has been really helpful and that is some extreme turn-around. I emailed him late Friday night his time, he emailed me 7AM Monday morning his time, and they are now shipped about 4 hours later.

I will be pestering my in-laws for the next 2 weeks.... I did ask Jeff when they would turn up but it obviously got lost in the emails we were bouncing back and forth. They'll turn up at some point. :super:

From reading the US hops thread (and BribieG's PM) turn-around seems to be around 10 days to 2 weeks so that will probably be smack in the middle of my 2 weeks leave from work. I am happy to drive into CBD (only 20 minutes each way and I'll probably want to get out of the house anyway - he he) and drop hops off if we can arrange a time and place for a dump and run.

Bribie's payment has been received and transferred onto my suffering credit card. Man, doctors are expensive. Still, amounts should reduce a fair bit and be just back down to GP costs and not specialists...

I'll check for Tidal Pete's tomorrow.

Thanks for the quick payment guys.

 

[RdeVjun]

Mine's banked. Have just been sorting out broadband (if you can call it that ) here at the new pad, so apologies for tardy follow up.

Perhaps I should've checked in with this thread first though! Anyway, it should be easy for me Angus because I work there full time now, however if we can hook up in the CBD it would suit, if not then that's fine too. Happy to see what transpires regarding delivery though, will post a satchel if needed.

Thanks team! :icon_cheers:

Thats great news about the extra hops :icon_cheers: shall forward payment tonight when I get back from windy Toowoomba. Internet very slow up here and the pages time out before the payment cam go through. I did score some 6 packs of tower 10 ipa for 18 buck at the local dans and had some leffe dark on tap at the spotted cow :icon_drool2: so it isn't to bad a spot.
Thanks Jameson

It takes a long time for the donkeys to trek down the range to plug into the Internets back in civilisation...

Only Bribies payment has gone through so far, but no sweat. The rest will come through in due course. No real hurry.

No sign of the hops yet... :lol:

TidalPete = 2 pounds - PAID assuming his cheque doesn't bounce <_<

p.s: thanks for the stickers Tidal. I'll have to work out where to start putting stickers. Not on my shiny black Kegerator...

 

[Bribie G]

At my place stickers just seem to appear :blink:

I note the first Brisbane hops just landed so that is 13 days for them. So I figure we have about another 7 days to wait for ours to land.... :super:

 

[angus_grant]

And look what Santa Claus brought in the mail today!!!!!!!!!!! :super:

Everyone's order turned up correctly as ordered. No customs inspection. Two of the hops bags have a little air in them. I have placed them all in the freezer in separate bags. At this point I haven't received the postal bags for people. Everyones payment has come in except Jameson. Pete, I received your replacement cheque and Aus Post actually let me bank it this time...

Everyone gets around 40 ounces of Galenas (which works out to about 275 gms). I don't know why I didn't do a final weigh in grams at the end... I was thinking maybe we could have a get together to have a Galenas taste testing. Everyone brings their Galenas-based beers... People are a bit spread out though (south Brisbane, Sunshine Coast, etc) so would have to be an over-nighter. But considering I have a 15 day old baby, it may be a bit hard for me...

 

[RdeVjun]

Awesome! I'll get a sachel in the post, completely slipped my mind. Ta very much

 

[TidalPete]

Thanks a lot Angus. Much appreciated! :icon_cheers:
