Why give your hard earned cash to some seller off ebay when one of our own boys (borischarlton) sells hops at VERY attractive prices, all professionally vacuum sealed and delivered for next to nowt within a day or so?

There is a glitch on the E Bay postal set up system. If you adertise postage at a low rate, then you can't combine the postage to a higher rate for other products, but if you advertise the postage at a high rate you can combine down to the lower rate.

100g of hops is posted at Royal Mail packet prices, so for example, 100g of first gold is posted at a total cost of £4.67. £1.72 for p&p and £2.95 for the hops. Hope this clears any misunderstandings up.

Extract from a post in a different section:
borischarlton wrote:Hi,

I have my next batch of hops and now, yeast available for sale. The hops are all professionally vac packed in 100g foil bags, nice and fresh.Everything listed is in stock unless stated.

Any 5 for £12 plus £2.65 Royal Mail first class to the U.K or £4.42 to Europe
This works out at £2.40per 100g bag (not inc. P+P) or £2.93 (inc. P+P)

Rob is still well cheaper

£2.95 is expensive with postage on top aswell, £2.95 posted is on the way, bearing in mind there only batched off a bail.

Just pending an order with the thrifty, free mailing over 25 quid, so order a couple of batch loads and your quids in for a start :)

I've got 25 kg spare sitting idle in my garage. You could have had that for £25 and I'd have delivered for free (I could have given you some protofloc as well!)

Just got a delivery from Barley Bottom. Nicely vac packed hops and the grain looks good...

edit 16/5/10: rest of post deleted, this added:

Hello. First off, let me say how stupid I am. Yes. Total idiot. Further, I retract anything bad I said about Barley Bottom in the part of the post I have edited out. As PDTNC said, it wasn't fags I was smelling but the actual grain I bought. I offer my unreserved apologies for suggesting it might have been anything else and I feel really bad about saying it.

Sorry again. Your grain is top class and was delivered in great condition. I am an idiot. Now can the ground swallow me up please?

Naich.

It was the Chocolate and roasted barley that combined to make the aroma. You would have thought that an ex-smoker would be able to tell, wouldn't you?

Time for a beer. And time to chuck the Bobek into the boiler.
