do you have time on your hands? Nah, not really!

I'm wondering about the possibility of grinding up the flowers in a pestle and mortar and filling up empty capsules with it, rather like Chrishoney talked about with powdered PM in an earlier post.
Yes, that thought has occurred to me already, but on the same basis that I couldn't be bothered to fill my own PM capsules, this would be even harder work because its got to be ground up as well. Also it smells foul even in the dried unground state!! You can actually buy it ground up, btw.


If you did 2.5g at a time, you wouldn't need to be particularly accurate with the quantity per capsule, just keep them together for a day's dose.

Well, I'd guess that if the grinding is fairly fine, you'd get near enough the same in each one anyway, so as long as you know what that is, you'd just take the right number, it can't be that critical given that we are talking about a dried natural product to start with.

"You can make hop powder by buying dried hops from your local homebrew store and grinding them up using a clean coffee grinder."
Ta. I was thinking in terms of the food processor, but principle is the same

PS How can someone who's had as much laser treatment as you be worried about the cost of hops capsules?

PPS don't tell me - you've blown it all!

Well, I spent 3 or 4 grand on the kitchen as well, but £15-£20 a month for hops capsules isn't 'nothing' when everything else is added in and I don't even know if it will work. If I was sure, that might be different.
