Woo,I'm pretty hyped my Presto 23qt is arriving today; the final price I paid was about 87GBP and it took a total of 12 days to arrive.
Funnily enough I've been having issues with some of the shit delivered from Ebay UK sellers for longer than PC took to arrive here from the US - namely petris and my large SAB box (wanted one from Ikea but the local one was out). Once I get those 2 (hopefully by Monday) - I can finally start my agar work ...hopefully in a few weeks followed by the first grain jars.
I know that the patience is a key for this hobby - but damn it is difficult to not get over excited.
All I can say is - fuck Yodel, they are the absolutely worst. I dread every time I see them as the selected delivery method.

That's pretty good. I paid a hefty £400 for my AA925 ... but I never have to buy a pressure cooker again in my entire life

Not sure if this is the right place to ask - but is there UK specific spore print swap/barter thread/place here (what about this thread?).
I'm not a guy who wants to start bothering random people here with PMs begging for freebies - not sure what is the proper etiquette for this - I would appreciate any advice.
I started doing my first agar work this weekend with some semi old syringes and one of them seemed to turn out super bacterial bloody quick (literally in 2-3 days every single one out of 11 turned slimy .. I will still wait out perhaps I can get some myc on the side if it ever germinates). I suspect the syringe because I did a few plates from another syringe and the only other print I had (dry) and those plates don't look contaminated (not much happening there yet as too early for germination to complete).

Thank you for the advice mrmazdarx9. That thread seems to be pretty inactive it seems
Unfortunately I have just started and don't have anything I can trade/swap with. Edmunter has been very kind and offered to share a print or two with me - so once I have something useful in my own library I will do my best to pay it forward or return a favour.
After improving my skills the "easy" cubes, I want to try my hand with PE varieties and some woodlovers - if I'm successful perhaps I can share that later on.

Yeah not alot of us uk crew but throw up a post someone usually gets back in a few days. I do have some ksss, aa+, libs and another. Do you use agar? I could do a swab of the ksss print ive never tried it so cant verify its quality but the guy it came from its a usa friend big on the cult side of the forum. However ive no sterile swabs, if you wanna send me a couple with a return envelope stamped i dont mind making a swab for you. AA is a syringe so hit and miss with swabs in my experience. I sent ed a clean plate of APE dunno how far he went with it though he may have some ape stuff, i might have some ape syringe left not sure tbh. Although he never trade rated me !!!!!

I have just started with the agar - poured my first plates on Saturday and inoculated about 20 in total. Half of them turned to shit very quickly (I'm pretty sure it wasn't me but bacterial syringe).
As I don't have anything I can offer to trade when it comes to prints and I don't like to ask for free handouts it puts me in an uncomfortable spot.
Thank you for the offer, mrmazdarx9, I don't have any experience with swabs myself, perhaps I should read up about them in the forum.
I have 2 small syringes of Golden Enoki and Brown Oyster LC (no idea if they are clean - not tried) from when I initially was buying into this hobby that I have never touched - not sure if those are possible to somehow transfer to a swab and send while not completely contaminating them.
Are they like these? (on sticks) : https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=sterile+swab+sticks&ref=nb_sb_noss
or more like these? : https://www.amazon.co.uk/Premier-Sterile-Non-Woven-Swabs-White/dp/B019HKPYA4/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?crid=220OI3UKXQ8UD&keywords=individual+sterile+swab+sticks&qid=1576669806&sprefix=individually+sterile+swab+sticks%2Caps%2C160&sr=8-1-fkmr0
I assume for spores they should be individually wrapped.

Amazon (a lot more expensive but should be a lot faster to deliver ) : https://www.amazon.co.uk/Presto-Pressure-Canner-Sealing-Ring/dp/B000ASKDB8
You need to make sure that this is the right part number ( 09985) but I think it matches.
Does anyone have a spare ring they could lend me and I will order 2 from the states and send a new one to you?

I saw your plates man they looked nasty, I didn’t have much luck either with shooting syringe direct to agar. I made myself a make shift loop with a pencil and a bit of vape wire, put a drop of solution in a shot glass wiped clean with iso and inoculated the plate that way streaking spores with the wire. Had a lot more success that way and easier to to transfer away from any bacterial regions as not going from a completely swamped plate. Just a thought if you’ve got any spores left there. You should look up a tek

You must be mistaken - I've not posted a single picture online. But I can imagine what you are talking about for sure!
Just starting out so there is a lot of trial and error to be had for sure.
Yeah - I've not given up on that syringe; will try to carefully put as little as possible next time I set up my SAB. Other syringe did not produce any of the crazy level contams so it can't just be my sterile (or lack of) technique.

Guys, Has anyone found a cheap source of oats? I am looking around and it looks like it will be much cheaper than WBS and RYE. Cheapest rye bag is £26 (25kg with delivery), cheapest milo is £20(25kg with delivery), oats should be about 10-15 which would make quite a lot of difference.
edit: wheat also looks a good alternative, price should be the same as oats

I’ve got them here a couple of times

I think postage is 5 or 6 quid but still fairly cheap

this is £0.678/kg whereas milo £0.8/kg and rye £1.04/kg. Good deal but the delivery what usually fucks me, even with 10 bags the delivery is the same. Maybe at these quantities its worth to visit a farm shop and get it there.

Yeah i get what you mean about the postage but ordering anything that’s 20-25 kg the postage is always going to be passed on to the buyer. If you could find them at a farm shop or an equestrian shop that should be cheaper. I looked in all the equestrian shops near me and not a single one of them stocked whole oats, so I just ordered them from the cheapest place online I could find.
