Since this thread has been resurrected, I'll share my wood fire brewing experience. A couple of years ago, a buddy of mine and I decided that there was no reason we couldn't mix brewing and camping. We brought along a brew kettle, muslin bag, hops & pre-crushed malt, yeast, sanitizer, and a...

Lots of frustration in this thread, eh? I can understand being impatient to get your score sheets, and God knows the process could be more efficient. But do try to keep in mind the nature of the competition. The point of BJCP competitions is the education of homebrewers and the promotion of the...

I'll leave it to somebody with more experience with specialty rye malts to critique the recipe, but I will offer a cautionary tale. Last weekend, I did an AG red rye ale, during which my usual brew partner didn't show up, and I was teaching some brewing newbies about the process, drinking beer...

And another thumbs up for Chris & Jason! Merry Xmas everybody! P.S. Haven't had a chance to check whether my grain has been milled/crushed or not (didn't feel like it inside the bag). I'll try to check tomorrow.

Thanks for the kudos, that was my first HBT post! Brent, as jasonsargo said, I won't know what I'm getting until April when they (hopefully) send it, but I'd sure be willing to trade hops cones, or even rhizomes if I end up getting extras. And I'd love to find out more about wild hops...

Sorry if this has been posted here before, but a quick search didn't reveal it, and time is running out, so.. Anyway, it appears that AC Golden Brewing Co. (which is basically Coors in disguise) is giving away free hops rhizomes as part of a promotion for their Colorado Native beer. Details...
