I'm pleased to hear it crossed the international border Taf. :thumb:
Looking good SC, nice pics.

GRRRR!!!!!!!! BLOODY SNAIL MAIL!!!
Items sent 17 feb - returned to sender 23 feb package opened and resealed with staples and no reason given whatsever! Useless bunch of morons!!

 

[Stone Cold]

iv had same probs with some ebay items iv sent

 

[screamlead]

Just been in contact with another postal service from |UK and it seems that flower and plant products are banned from UK export!!! Tossers - no site ive been on has any info on this and i have sent seeds etc here many times from all over the sodding world!!
Anybody know how long they can last out of the ground? got them in the fridge at the mo' in damp tissue - but got a friend who may be able to bring over in 2 months!!!
Maybe less if i can find someone coming over!!

Finally managed to contact some idiot at royal mail! seems the hops got to turkey and were sent back - but theres no restrictions on them so the only thing any of us can come up with is royal mail cocked up the addressing. Its not like UK style and cant be entered on computer systems as u do there. So going to have another go at sending it but with the correct aaddy on the package etc - grrr :hmm:

 

[screamlead]

Absolutely gobsmacked - i cant believe whats just happened - i have just recieved my package from UK - 6.26p for an empty envelope and the cheeky git from turkish post was gonna get me to sign for it!! They sent the contents back?? work that out! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

sorry to hear that, they`d grow like mad out there.

 

[pjbiker]

Planted, lets see what comes up.

Thanks Jim

 

[evanvine]

I hope at least one of them shows signs of life PJ!
How did the brew go?
Thanks for the samples, I'm letting them settle as you recommended.

 

[pjbiker]

Brew went well I think, 82% efficiency, though discovered my apparent temperature measurement it a bit off. Top being OK then recirced and found what was at the bottom of tun was hotter. Not enough stirring. Hence arriving 1035 on the dot.

Anyway, thanks for the exchange. Maybe I should have worn a carnation or something

 

[evanvine]

Have potted one of eack Hop myself today, just to see if they do grow!
Metal Mickey
