Title: Bag or Bags you decide!
Post by: Covey on April 23, 2013, 07:14:33 PM
As part of a resent bulk purchase from the Homebrew company i bought what i thought was a bag of muslin bags for 60C, as the picture has a bag of bags, but was later informed by said company that it was just for one bag. Its more the principle of the matter than anything else and the fact that I'm not short bags, Anyway thought I'd sanity check it with you guys to get yer options.
Cheers

This is just IMHO but if you look closely the HEADLINE says hop bags, meaning that is the category into which the following item falls and is not an accurate description of the individual item. The picture itself has no description beside it and although it is hard to tell how many bags are present for 60 cents i dont think you can have any issue tbh. Like i said just MHO ;D

 He should honor the claim and then  fix the website.
That's normal practice for most retailers.

haha - this reminds me of one night after the pub, in the chipper.
My mate arguing with your woman behind the counter over the description on the menu for "sausages" - same thing ya only got one. He maintained he should get at least 2. And he's right. Whoever wrote that shit, dont know english proper.

When buying the Hop Bag from the website, it asks you how many you want. You must have specified 1.

Ya i specifed 4, when i buy i normally get a bulk order as im no where near a shop, so i was expecting to have plent for the next few months. Look as i said it was just misleading, i thought. 60C for  a muslin bag is a bit steep to. Lesson learned.

Give then a good clean and you can reuse then multiple times.  I hand wash and boil mine as I wouldn't trust them in the washing machine, and sterilize them with starsan before use.
