I just placed an order from Freshops right now. I grew hops in in half wine barrels last year (cascade, mt hood, sterling). I ordered 2 more cascades, 2 mt hood, 2 sterling, 2 centennial, and 2 willamete! Don't ask where I am planting them, I'll figure it out later. I'll be going in-ground with...

:mug:I brewed a 5 gallon batch about 6 months ago and split it between my 3 gallon corny and bottles. Trust me, if the brew turns out amazing you will hate yourself! It takes too long before you can enjoy the brew to brew less than a gallon. Just my 2 cents

B3 Mini-Mash Recipe Collection Witbier This is the morebeer recipe that i brewed several times before. If you are looking for a Blue Moon clone this won't work out. It is however a definit thirst quencher. I think you may be adding too much wheat extract. Also, the oats aid with providing...

The way i see it, at least we were buzzed. I would feel like a complete idiot if i made the same mistake sober. Anyway, who knows... I may be onto something by accident. I had 2 liter starters for both and the airlock went wild about 4-5 hours after pitching. If anything i think my tripple might...

:confused::confused:I just have to vent for a second. Yesterday i decided to brew two extract batches (stout and a tripple). It have not brewed extract since i switched to all-grain 3 months after starting to brew... 1 year ago. Here's the gist of it all. I was enjoying several bottles of dead...

Last evening I transplanted two sterling plants from wine barrels to the ground. It's bad enough they were already not doing so well after some small grasshoppers had a feast some 2 weeks ago, but today i noticed the bines appear to be dying. Is this just shock from the transplant? The real...

I used the california ale yeast. I was caught off guard with the heat so maintaining temps between 67-70 has been a challenge. I began to swirl the carboy once i noticed things slowed down. I do it every morning and when i get home from work if i remember to. I look forward to the aroma when i...

I brewed an American version about two weeks ago. I plan on taking a hydrometer reading tomorrow. Should I allow it to sit in the primary another week or two or should I transfer it to the secondary now since it has been about 2 weeks. My OG was about 1.122 and i pitched a 2liter starter made...

I have a 2 liter starter sitting in the fridge. I made it on Saturday and got about a 1/2 to an inch or so of yeast sitting at the bottom. I plan on dumping the spent wort and only pitching the cake. I used Mr.Malty's calculator and i hope i have the necessary cells. I don't know how much i read...

One more thing since you are only in torrance if this turns out worthy, I will definitely bottle some for you. :rockin:

So I should be Ok then? I got the ingredients at morebeer in Riverside. I got their recipe and substituted the 2row for Marris Otter and changed the hops from what they had listed for their recipe. Rob recommended the rice extract to give it an extra kick. This is only my 5th or 6th all grain...

I am looking at brewing a barleywine tomorrow. 1.106 OG estimate. Since i obviusly plan on aging this brew for over a year, would 8oz of hops be too much? 2oz 14% magnum 60 minutes, 2 oz 10% centennial 10 minutes, 1 oz centennial 5 minutes, and 2 oz cascade and 1oz of centennial at flame out...

You saved me the trouble of posting pictures. I have the same problem on all my babies. Just a couple minutes ago i was inspecting the leaves and noticed a little green F*&k*r jump away from the bine. I kept wondering what the problem was for the last couple of weeks and finally got my answer...
