Homebrew shops. Loads online. Maybe you have a local one? Wilkos might have some.
Keep it dry and sealed. It's really hydrophilic and will turn into a brick if left to absorb moisture from the air. Can still be worked with but its a pain.

This last batch of LME I have actually hasn't turned to a brick with the bag open for a long time. My last batch turned to a brick stored inside a fucking mason jar lol

I always get mine from Amazon btw baldur.

Homey B is pretty good as well (Home Bargains) the quart jars are spot on. Have about 40 though so I’m good!

They did stop doing them for a long time. Popped up again in my local a month or 2 back. Not as many but they were there. Half sized as well.

Thanks for letting me know I'll have to pop in. I'd even ordered online for store pick up years ago. That was nice to just roll in and pick up a few cases.
Phillip Harris plates back on stock.

Wow - great price. Ordered 200 for not much more than 20 on Amazon! Thanks for the heads up.

You mean like the Starry Night Apes and whatnot or am I completely missing what you’re talking about?

I’ve got a lot of TAT stuff but probably not a lot of the newer stuff. I have JF, PG, OG TAT, Ghost, Yeti. Shoot me a message if you need any of those!

Literally never ordering from them again.
Too many orders with too many smashed plates and I know I'm not the only one.
I would much rather pay more and go with Better Equipped. You can literally feel how much stronger the plastic is and they all turn up intact.

Anyone else using ~800ml pickle jars with filter stickers as spawn jars? Rust proof, leak proof, reasonably large, 95p each from Aldi and easy to see through. Works much better than the mason jars I was buying. I just wish I could find them empty hah.

I hear you. I had a buried swab plate somehow crack on the bottom and contaminate my culture with bacteria a few days ago. So brittle.

I used em when I first started.
I was buying lots at a time and the people behind the till were always like wtf. I just said I had a pregnant girlfriend who loves pickles atm lol.
Yeah their plates fkn suck, if you haven't already check out Better Equipped. They are really sturdy plates.
God damn it I reallyyyyy fancy pickles now. Funny thing is I actually almost bought a jar a few hours ago and I am now regretting not doing so.
