Hello all. I'm in the OC area wondering if there is any local growers willing to sell me a few Fuggle rhizomes. I have a few already on pre order but I think it would be awesome to grab some locals.

Okay cool. Thanks guys. I appreciate the responses.

Just dropped a batch of Chocolate Stout in my primary this past Sunday. Topped it off with a three piece airlock. Monday everything was good to go, baby beer breathing with a healthly ferm going. Today however, when I got back from work, I found my airlock flooded with baby beer. Some of it was...

Okay, I think I get it now. I do also have a wort chiller that will be perfect for the wort cooling. I made it out of 50' copper tubing and it is just too big for a partial boil. This was one of the driving reasons for the want to do a full boil. Thanks for the info. :mug:

Thanks for the replies, @ revvy, Ive skimmed through most of the beginning posts, been taking notes, and have a battle plan. So thanks for that. I will absolutely check out that link as well. @ Qhrumphf, thanks for the info, to be honest, cleaning is really the only I was kinda sketchy about...
