  I made one last year and I just used a sanitized knife and board. It came out fine. Actually,
  people have been asking me to make it again so I'll be brewing next weekend! Cheers.

  Why wouldn't you just cut them back when you move... YOu have to cut them back each fall
  anyway, right? I don't know much about it as I've never grown any but having read a bit it
  would seem that when...

• Posted in thread: Fermentation Question (Low FG) on 04-02-2013 at 10:05 AM
  croches1 - was it an all grain or extract recipe? I've had extract recipes stall out on me too.
  You do end up with a sweeter beer (I tend to like that). I started doing late additions to help
  keep thi...

  Falconer's Flight is a great hop! It's like Chinook with that grapefruit tang to it! I make an
  ESB with it - despite it not being English... :)

  Sam Adams for sure! However, Ommegang is damn good too!

  I use one of these badboys and it works great in my upright freezer. I leave the freezer
  unplugged and just run this through a temp controller. 70 degrees!

  Added 2lbs of wildflower honey at flame out, then cooled about 80 degrees Fahrenheit. QS'd to 6
  gallons. OG:~1.055. It's locked away in the fermenter bucket until next week when I will rack
  to a glass...

• Posted in thread: Looking to try a new extract beer on 02-21-2013 at 09:28 AM
  made this a couple of times and people love it! Great beer. If you've never used steeping
  grains then let me know and I can run you through it. I can add some notes to the bottom of the
  recipe. It u...

• Posted in thread: Weizenbock on 12-14-2012 at 09:34 PM
  Stark is strong in German so that would be a strong-wheat-beer... Bocks are strong so it makes
  sense. Sweet glass BTW. I made a Weizenbock and have been told by family that it is one of my
  best yet! I...
