I'm here in Bergen county. Are these plants potted or in the ground?

I don't have much experience with hops but I do a lot of vegetable gardening and I can tell you that they probably were under watered. 10 minutes per day is a very poor way of watering because it only saturates the surfaces soil and doesn't promote deep root systems. It also prevents the surface...

I just ordered the max 2 and am planning to wire it up for heat as well. Thanks for putting together that blog post. In regards to the fishtank heater idea, I'm not sure you would get any benefit out of heating the glycol solution instead of heating the fermentors directly with a heating pad...

I just pitched a white labs pure pitch packet of WLP001 into a starter and noticed a bunch of dark specks/flakes mixed in with the yeast. I have never seen this in a yeast packet before and am concerned there is something wrong with the yeast. Has anyone seen this before? Is it still good to...
