  Plant. It. In. The. Ground. If you have to dig it up later, then dig it up. If that's a
  problem, then hop-growing probably isn't in your cards right now. For the guy who must grow on
  the roof, use rub...

  Shame on you. It's too soon for Treyvon Martin jokes.

  Tote's seem to be a bit on the expensive side (wedding coming up) and I see the problem with
  the lateral growth in the 5 gallon. Would it be too hard on the plant/me to dig them up in the
  fall/spring?...

  I trained the biggest bine up, hard to see. I'm getting tent stakes from walmart (more chinese
  stuff) to do the other two biggest bines, and also provide some half-assed support for the
  flagpole. Ther...

  Kiss my Ass.I had the decency to take the gold top off, and not throw the flag that came with

  I never added the buckwheat honey. Is that added at the beginning or during backsweetening?

  Patience. Get a separate bucket and/or carboy so you don't rush it because you want to make
  another batch of beer.

  I'm following a Keller recipe now that calls for "Acid Blend" and my LHBS gave me the same
  thing you have, citric, malic, and tartaric, in even proportions according to LHBS.

  It looks like red wine. It is clear. The EC-1118 makes a very compact lees, and as Joe Mattioli
  states, the welch's is already clarified. I've made it before, and it's the only mead recipe
  I'm making ...

  Mine don't look much like either of those. Maybe I do have the American variety, and they are
  just dropping small because of heat and drought. This is my first year on this property. I'll
