Hello! I am looking to grow hops this summer. Was wondering if anyone sold or knew a good place to buy hop rhizomes... I live in Southeastern Virginia... we have very hot summers here. Need heat resistant hops

Hello! I was thinking of buying some software for homebrewing. Any ideas on who has the best program?? Thank you!!

I got home and just realized the Liquid yeast I got... White Labs #41 expired on 12/17/10... When I called the store, they said it would still work, just take an extra day to do its thing. Is this true????

LOL.... Thank you very much!! I love strong ales!! Danfishhead!!! LOVE IT!!

I am brand new to brewing. I found a recipe that claimed the twenty pounds was for a five gallon batch. The cooler I use to mash(48qt) was so filled with grain, by the time i added all the water I needed to cover the grain, i had added 7 gallons of water. after an hour, i added another 1.5...

Maybe just under a quarter of each bag each addition except for the warrior(only added a halh ounce, other half was dry hopped). i added a little of each kind at every addition. I hate not knowing what I am doing! I got excited read a few things and assumed I knew what I was doing. I will get...

The original recipe includes all of the hops used in the brew and the dry hopping. They were all pellets. I used 1.5 for dry hopping. The remaining hops were added at 15 minute intervals during the 90 minute boil, not measured amounts, just added a little every 15 minutes until they were gone.

I thought that was a lot of grain. I found a recipe online from someone claiming this to be a dogfishhead 90 minute IPA, which is one of my favorite beers in the world. Did everything i do sound ok as far as procedure? thank you for replying!

It was in primary for about 5 days in plastic carboy, then i transferred to glass carboy for another 12 days...it has only been carbonating 10 days

I am brewing an IPA from brewers best kit. I have been carbonating in bottle for about ten days and I couldn't wait to try so I tried one. It tastes a little sour but not nearly as sour as a lambic... If i let carbonate longer, can/will the taste improve?... I have been reading that carbonation...
