Too difficult to edit a cut and paste. If the system doesn't co-operate, I give up.

The Waggastew flowers are a kind gift from a friend of mine. They're a mix of homegrown Cascade, EKG, and Saaz in undetermined proportion.

[Tilt]

Were they grown in Wagga?

[warra48]

No, they were grown in Wauchope in Waggastew's back yard..

Waggastew is Stewart, originally from Wagga Wagga.

 

Wauchope is about 20 km inland from Port Macquarie. I just played golf out there today at the Wauchope Country Club.

Nice part of the world.  Used to go up there for work when I was based in Newcastle. Remember some great camping trips out to Wollomombi Gorge too. Didn't know you could grow hops there though!
