I recently switched from BIAB to all-grain. Only difference I really notice is efficiency. Adjust the grain bill according to your efficiency in order to hit the correct gravity.

How did it taste? I'm looking for info from people that used Pride of Ringwood for late additions, since from what I've read that it is not advisable. Did you like how yours turned out?

Yes please

Kevreh - I had the same issue with this beer. Although my other beers turn out fine, I may have messed something up with this one. No offense to Ed of course, it's likely I'm just too much of a hophead for this recipe.

UPDATE If anybody else is ever interested in using these bottles, I contacted Fisher. They said they dont recommend pressurizing them and they have a coating on the inside "Safe-Cote" which is made from PVC

Yes, and they don't have a freezer section, the cooling element is flat against the back. The coldest they go is not very low, but it is very easy to adjust.

Sorry I dont know about any of those, but if you can find a wine fridge go for it! No conversion and usually pretty classy looking

I have a bunch of 1 gallon Fisher Scientific glass jugs and saw the 1-gallon beer kits on NB and thought they would go perfect together(except for head space but that's what a blow-off tube is for right?) These kits come with the fizzy-drops for carbonation. I would like to skip the step of...

Can't comment on hops, but I was faced with a similar dilemma with another similar plant species.. I would warm up the oven a tad (lowest setting or if you have a pilot light in there I heard that is OK as well) then sticking the cones in there and turning off the oven would dry it out quickly...

Looks like a low gravity beer, how do you drink it like that when it won't pour out the glass?

Depends on your soil texture..what mixture of clay/loam/sand. Figure that out and then I would suggest either calling the drip emitter company with that info or a UC extension office (youre in CA, right?) The UC extension offices are basically a govt-run agency to help farmers out.

Thank gawd! I can finally take my leisurely 45 minutes to drink 12 oz of beer. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2328902/New-gadget-keeps-bottles-beer-cool-INSIDE-creates-airtight-seal-stop-drinks-going-flat.html So that's like one ounce every 4 minutes. Ugh.

Cool man, thanks for the update! Keep uploading pictures when you have the time, I'd love to see how this turns out for you. BTW, what're you planning to do with the harvest?

Westy. I had it for free and damn glad I didnt spend $80 a bottle on it, or whatever the price is now. Of course it's a good beer but nothing is that good.

These are so good! I put onions from my garden in there as well and I kind of think those are even better than the cukes. JuanMoore, that escabeche is a great idea. I've had many friends try them, and they all make a funny face then say something like "That is...really interesting. And I...
