Home Brewing Biography: I started home brewing after being interested in it for 10 years. I studied and read up on the craft for over a year before I actually began. My brother was brewing for a long time before I started. Last year I took the plunge and now I can't learn enough to satisfy my thirst for brewing knowledge and for craft beer itself! I had lost interest in commercial american bottled beers 20 years ago but then in the late 90s I took a trip out to the west side of the state (MI) and while I was there I had the opportunity to visit the Bell's Brewery. There I tasted what real beer was for the first time. Now I can make my own recipes and that is something I can get passionate about.

I figured you are not a business. I was hoping you could put some in a flat rate box, and I
could pay you via paypal or mail you a bankers note before you shipped. There is a place in
Appleton, WI (~3...

Are you guys interested in shipping just the cut rhizomes? I would need them shipped to the
Green Bay, WI area, but will be planting in Upper Michigan. I'd love to support a great beer
state co-hop!Th...

We have a few Santium, Brewer's Gold, Golding, Spalter, Galena, Chinook and a couple others,
that are in their second year in containers. We'll also have rhizomes fresh cut "while you
wait" for the ne...

Tried Chimay for the first time at the place we had dinner. It was very nice and I enjoyed it
immensely, however I must admit, the homebrewed Belgian I'm enjoying right now is as good if
not better......
Posted in thread: I am wondering why my initial gravity of a stout is at 1.034? on 03-26-2013 at 08:11 PM
Beersmith says you need 9 lb of LME to get 1.079 @ 5 gallons. Convert 9 lb.s and you get 4.1
kilos, not 3 kilos. If I were you I'd boil another 3/4 gallon (3L) of wort with the extra LME
your missing ...

Posted in thread: Opinions on this hybrid homebrew recipe? on 02-27-2013 at 01:15 AM
I brew with strange spices a lot. Some brewers hate it. Oh well, I like to experiment. Let me
say you are WAY, WAY (did I say WAY too much) over board on the spice. 120 cardamon pods? Are
you nuts? :D...

UPDATE: Ok, it's been three weeks since I racked. In secondary, a very clean, almost white
layer of yeast fell out and formed a new yeast "cake", but still the beer remained cloudy, very
cloudy (OG 1....
