Hello all, I've got 20lbs left of whole cone Cascade hops left from september harvest season. They are untested for alpha acids, as I was mainly looking to use them late in the boil or to dry hop. They're all vacuum sealed and frozen - I'm just not going to get to use them because I've gone...

Hahaha, Dcpcooks - you're cracking me up. Maybe I will. Look in your PMs. tlucarelli, same with you. I've got some Cascade left. Willamette is gone, but I'll double check Nugget.

Good news, we still have some Cascade left. $2.00/oz for those. Each bag is about 10oz (we will weigh beforehand), if you want exactly a pound we can repackage them into however many oz's you want.

DCPcooks - I believe if you want the sterling and the northern brewer then they are yours. $1.50/oz for Sterling and Northern Brewer. I will have to get back to everyone on the Cascade - a local brewery may have just bought the rest of our stock. I will update you ASAP once I can confirm.

My father and I run a small organic hops farm in Rexford, NY and we're gearing up for a big next growing season - for the time being we have just been growing them for ourselves. In order to fund and ramp up our growing efforts for next year, we're selling at a big discount, what are...

No. If someone gave me 5 million, I'd use part of it to start a brewery. So no. That's like a writer being paid not to read or write.

I loved it, personally. The only thing is apparently the phenols from the paw paws make them gushers after they sit for a couple weeks. You have to cover the bitterness or tartness of the paw paw with lots of fruitiness. The paw paw adds its own fruitiness too if you do it right :)

It really does heat up! My carboy's thermometer read about 72F and had a vigorous fermentation. The hefe turned out great with lots of bubblegum and banana and a little clove.

Hell, I think we'll go for it. I'm guessing it might end up with too much body, sweetness, or flavor in general, or it just won't attenuate right. But hey, it's worth a shot! We'll post the results for future over-achievers haha.

Wow! Great feedback guys! This is just the kind if stuff I need to hear! Do you guys this it would work for a sweet stout or oatmeal stout? Or a combination of both? I've got an oxygenation kit and yeast nutrients to make sure it starts strong. This is what I'm giving the yeast, if you have any...

Yeah, I know I'm going for too much on it. I think we'll do a simpler one a couple brews down the road, but this will be no normal brew...bad maybe...but not normal. I think I'm mostly worried about attenuation and even more...the level of hops. Are the IBUs that touchy between a sweet stout and...

So does anyone have any opinions/experiences with this yeast? London Ale - WLP013 Specifically: 1. I've heard it's finicky. Is this true? 2. How is this "oaky" flavor it's supposed to give? Do you get that at all out of it? 3. What's the best fermentation temps for this? Or what has worked for...

So this girl and I have been going out for almost two years. We're brewing a beer that will be ready on our anniversary. Anyways, what I'm saying is that I found a woman who loves beer and loves brewing, so since I've been tasked with the recipe, this needs to be good. :) I have a couple...

The sad part is that I feel like I know these exact guys, haha.
