If you weren't able to get any roots last year, I think the order is going to be going in again in the next couple of months. Let me know if you're interested.

I'm just finishing up primary with this. Had to sub chocolate. I have 2 oz of centennial leaf that I'm thinking of using to dry hop. Do y'all think that's too much for the style?

I was able to get a few ounces of fresh citra hops. There were a bunch in a garbage bag, and I gragged a couple of handfuls. They were warm and wet when I got them. As I've set them out to dry a little while waiting for an ale to finish primary (I'm going to dry hop w/them), I've noticed that...

I'm brewing a fresh hop pale ale, and used chinook and centennial in the boil. I plan on dry hopping with citra. After reading these posts, I'm not sure what to expect. I'll have to try and let y'all know how it turns out.

I just kegged a fresh hop ipa using all simcoe. It smells and tastes wonderful. Very fruity. A couple of weeks conditioning, and it will be sublime.

It's that time of year again,and I thought I'd see if anyone out there has any fresh brews going on out there. I just racked my single hop Simcoe IPA onto 7-8 oz of fresh hops. The smell is amazing. I can't wait to taste. It's being entered into the Fresh Hop Ale comp. here in Yakima. If...

I don't see the hop cone design. Did you do it yourself?

Simcoe and Citra are owned by the same people. I happen to know where a field is planted, and know which vines are which. Can't see myself sneaking a rhizome though. The owners are good people, and are letting me sample some fresh hops from the vines. They're also the first certified organic...

Heya Robin, welcome. There's a local group that likes to homebrew. www.yakimabrewers.org Worth checking them out. Ceg and I have a raincheck to drink beer one of these nights. Maybe it could be a group get-together. I just emptied a couple of my kegs, so I won't have beer for a few weeks, but...

I think Spotted Cow is an unfiltered wheat? I could be wrong, since it's been so long since I've had that tasty tasty brew.

I'm giving this a shot manana. I'm upping the grain bill a little, adding chocolate malt and a little melatoinin malt. Also found some wyeast pacman.

There was a place that had it on tap about a month ago. I don't expect it to still be there, but I hope the replacement is just as good.

alcottrill - Are you still out and about? There is a Homebrew Club meeting tomorrow at the Sportscenter. 7pm. If you're interested in growing hops, they'll be having someone there to take your order. Otherwise, maybe we can kick back and brew sometime. There's another brewtalk member, ceg...

There's a place on the 2nd floor where Bert's is, called the Hopvine (same place where the Warehouse used to be). Last time I was in there (one month ago +/-) they had Abyss on tap. Mmmmm.....
