I like that. Lot cheaper than a new one

I finally built some drying racks for my hops. Got to use them this last week too. They work a lot better than air filters. The mess on the deck is from the carnage from picking. Got a total of 16.7 oz. Dry weight.

June 15th is when these were first picked. I had to allow the vine to go for it again because it was so early in the year. Kansas City had great weather for them this year. I need to get more varieties growing cascade is the only type I have

I have a cascade plant that is 8 years old. Well this year was good to her because the weather was very mild this summer with plenty of rain. I harvested 11.7 oz. Dry weight in mid june. New vines were reaching for the sun so I clear cut all the old and made room for the new. Again in late...

Looks really good. Just wait till the vines are older. I harvested 33 oz. Dry from two separate times of the year from one plant. First in late June and then late August.

I tried these a few years ago. Some worked yet most of the bags failed to keep a seal. Finally went to a generic vacuum system and nothing can beat it. Go out and buy a new one.

I'm confused. . What were the marbles for?

There are several different ways to accomplish what you are after. Search this site or Google search filtering wort. You then have to decide what will be your best option. After cooling with a IC I whirlpool and let it rest for 15 min. Then slowly drain to primary.

18 bucks for the ingredients for 10 gallons minus propane and my time, my friend like it, I like it, can't get enough. ..Happy days.

Wow. Those are awsome. How old is your vine. My cascade is 7 years. I left the angels on the vine for good luck to the next harvest.

Cascade hops on the vine. They had an early start this year so I got to cultivate them today. They are being dried as I post this. I think I can cut the vines back and add fertilizer, there are more shoots trying to come up so I might get a second harvest. . Does anyone know why the last cone...

I live in kcmo, plant came up early due to weather. I got 2 lbs 8 oz. They are now in the process of drying. I am going to cut the vine down and let it grow again to get a second harvest in September. Does anyone know why the last cone on the vine grows extra leaves out of it..?

All I have to say is good luck.. takes a good 4.5 - 5 hours to complete. Make sure you have extra sparge water ready. You can use it on the second sparge. Look up hybrid fly sparge. It will save you a little time.

Well I have to package up 10 gal of Miller light hopped Thursday. Probably 5 gal in bottles. 5 in keg. Then I am brewing 5 gal of squirrel brown ale. Can't get enough of the squirrel. my new addition is a ugly drum smoker. I get to do the inaugural smoke still. Maybe some chicken and baby back...
