Really want to get about 10-20 or so hops rhizomes so i can use them to shade the south wall of my house, as well as have fresh homegrown hops would prefer 3-5 types and would love collumbus and cascade in the mix hopefully someone can help me out here.

I think the best question you can ask yourself is how much exercise do you want in your brew day, in comparison to how much that extra work is worth. I am currently doing BIAB because of the cost. I don't really mind the work for right now and my wallet is fairly empty. BIAB i think requires...

My chemistry book tends to disagree, a super thick mash with no sparge should not induce any good efficiency. Although i could see how keeping the enzyme reaction as dense as possible could result in a better conversion. At this point i would like to point out that i did not say a thin mash...

I am pretty sure that a large batch size theoretically would do nothing to your efficiency. thin grain water ratios would increase efficiency as would meticulous technique... Do you usually shoot for 'bigger beers' when doing a 5 gallon batch vs when you are doing 10 gallons? By bigger of...

give your equipment and brew area a little better of a pre clean before your next brew day?

I left my first wheat for 6 months

in a 8.5 gal pot i can accomplish a rather beefy brew, i do a modified dunk sparge. It takes a lot of my day to accomplish it and i really need another vessel but is is possible. adding another vessel would easily shave an hour or something off your brew day. My initial thoughts on getting...

why does it appear that a 'blank' 20 gal is 210 dollars but one with couplings is an even 200?

The real question is.... How are you going to get even for this atrocity?

Sounds gross! I would always just assume it IS going to happen and wage the war in advance. What you are describing sounds like some sort of rhizomorphic fungi

Assuming you already have all of the equipment to do so, you just prepare a media and use a sample to 'nnoc up a couple petri's. Crack a brew, pour into glass, flame brim of bottle gently, using sterile innoculation loop get sample, swipe onto agar, drink beer. Or if you want to be simple...

so i found a fridge, it was on the side of the road abandoned and needed a good home and repurposing. its probably around 4-5 cf, maybe more, and i just plugged it in to see if it gets cold. the compressor sounds like it is working so i don't see why it wouldn't so long as it has coolant in...

Lookin smexy! Your sig made me jam to jimi all day

did you adjust sg readings for temp?

Just got to keep your apms high yo! When playing games and drinking, you got to ask yourself, what would a korean do
