A new source of spray ethanol. My coworker picked up a big 1 L spray bottle of ethanol from Gyoumu Supa 業務スーパー in Yokosuka for 460 yen. This is kind of a costco-like supermarket for businesses, but you dont need a card or membership to shop there. I...

Its been a few months using the sensor for chili propagation, and it still is working fine. Now I have it taped to the side of my fermenter and the stc 1000 controlling a heat mat for 17 C.

BF I am interested in growing from seeds too but can't help with a group buy at the moment. I only just started using whole leaf hops and the stuff I have all seems to have seeds. None of the varieties you mentioned though and I have no idea if I can get them to sprout. After that its a...

Those are umeshu jars and you will see a lot more on sale from spring to early summer. May and June are when you will have rock sugar and jars paired together at every store. Make some umeshu if you can it is easy and good! I think the jars go up to 8 liters too, so 3 for a 5 gallon batch...

Oh yeah! Count me in! Happy 10 years too!

Didn't think about the suspicious tape but good point! Welcome to the thread! I am also in Yokosuka, in Oppama (hence my ID). I'd be interested in getting a 32 oz bottle of starsan myself just to be set for the next year or more and to be able to help out others with it. I have an extra...

Its not customs that has a problem with star san its the airlines. As a hazardous material it isn't supposed to fly. 5 star chemicals (producers of SS) replied to my inquiry on the topic with a "You can't take it on a plane". That hasn't stopped plenty of people from doing so, but just be...

Thats awesome and really clarifies things!

Hope you had a good time! Which places did you end up visiting?

I mean the certificate should cover an inspection of a group/lot of rhizomes but not necessarily the whole farm. I think they would inspect one variety at a time because some plants are more susceptible to disease than others. There are varieties that could have a disease right next to healthy...

I don't have an official answer to that, but my best guess is that each cultivar would need one if the customs guys are really picky. They should assume that the cert is for the LOT, and the lot would consist of anything labelled on the cert. If all the pieces are in one box together and the...

Welcome to the forum CB in Tokyo! Sorry I can't answer your question though, I am opting out of more hops acquisitions this season.

Its probably doing just fine. The question you pose is the most common query on this site I think, if you check out those threads you will probably find the reassurance to let you sleep.:) Cheers!

I got a heads up from a friend that tried to order last year from homebrewstuff.com. They told him they couldn't ship here so I guess that's one less option. Fendcar, any positive news from Farmhouse or one of the other suppliers you listed? Im getting declined from my tomato seed suppliers :-(

Guzzi, I am not sure if that is a complete list or not but I doubt it, the big guys probably do stick to a handful of varieties only though for economic reasons. I just pulled it out of one of the files that I shared, someone else had passed that file on to me a while back. Fendcar I think...

Sorry I have no idea how to insert cells and format this nicely. If anyone can do that please repost. I added AA% and Flavor Profile to the characteristics although nothing was listed in the file we can hopefully fill out some of that over time ourselves :-) VARIETY NAME -- OWNER -- B...

I think with any plant material if you have the option of getting a phytosanitary certificate that is the way to go. Its not the plant itself they are worried about, more as the potential for carrying a disease that wipes out local economies. If the rhizomes are bare-rooted (without soil) they...

I know a couple of people who intend to go tomorrow, but they are not on this forum as far as I know. Hope you have a good time!

Yeah their website could use a little better design ;-)

Tektonjp, where do you get rice hulls from? I have seen them listed on AB but always listed as sole-out. Have you got another source? I would have thought they would be easier to get in Japan.
