This looks really nice. I just downloaded it and it looks awesome. I'll take it for a spin later.

Awesome! My plan is to weigh out the sugar in each bottle using a digital scale. I've gotten inconsistent results with sugar settling in the bottling bucket before. Since I am adding so much sugar to the bottles, I figure I will be ok. I'm not going to cold crash, since I dont have the fridge...

I have a beer in the primary that I want to rack over to bottles in the next couple days. Do I need to a yeast starter when adding the priming sugar to help get the desired 5.5 volumes of CO2 in the bottles? Do I need to cold crash the primary? Can I just add priming sugar without cold crashing...

I put a zip tie around the oranges caps to make sure they seal, they are loose. I did have a no bubble blow tube on a buck with my last batch. Gas is going to leak out at the weakest point, seal on the bucket lid, stopper, etc. I did find that bringing the end of the hose closer to the surface...

This is all good info. We (and I'm guessing everyone) got an email reminding us that vegetable gardens need to be behind the back wall of the house and need to be moved at the end of the season. We'll move the two small vegetable gardens, but might have to but a proposal at the end of the...

I'm going to donate the beer I brew with the hops grown at the house to the next neighborhood pool party and name it after the neighborhood. I'm in Dogfish territory and I have some DNA yeast left also that will be used, so there got to be a few beer loves there.

The neighborhood is new, a year or two, and others have done changes to their houses and landscaping that is against HOA policy. Fences that built up halfway on the side of the house and other garden issues. Someone people just have a stick their butt about following everything the letter...

Thats what were thinking.

Does any one else have a problem with their HOA and the location where their hops are on your property? We have a garden behind the hops on the side of the house. We have been reminded that vegetable gardens need to be behind the house. So we will be moving the veggies straight back so that they...

Subscribed. Drinking a 2009 bottle right now. Smooth sweet roasted dark honey taste. There is some heat, but not as hot as it is when its new.

I have two vials (thats the right word, correct?) in the fridge right now also. I need to do something with them also. Let me know how the beer comes out. I'm thinking about making a 4% Sour with Granny Smith apples. Thoughts? I want to grow one of the vials so I can make some more and...

Nice find. It's got to be more then $300. The tower itself is probably $300. If can you ship it back via a Military crate on the cheap, I would grab it.

Got mine in today and transplanted into pots. They look really good for being in the mail for three days. Now waiting for the second transplant in a couple weeks.
