My columbus is doing very well, I didn't do much pruning and just let it do its thing. My Cascade rhizome, on the other hand, has done nothing. I actually dug it up last night to check on it, and it looks the same as when I planted it. I think somewhere along the line it died, not sure if...

I finally put my potted Columbus in the ground this weekend. I built a hop trellis with 2x2 pressure treated lumber, although I'm not too thrilled with my string work. My Cascade rhizome got planted too.

Putting my existing plant and a rhizome I picked up in the ground this weekend. Seems like compost/manure/top soil is the ticket for planting these guys, yeah?

Came over here to find a thread like this. I'm fairly new to growing, my wife/kids bought me a small plant from Whole Foods last year and it did pretty well in a small planter. Now that I've got some space in the yard, I'm going to build a structure along the lines of thaymond/WilliamSlayer...

ferment all the things!!

Trying to come up with a creative name based on my kids...still brainstorming here.

Not brewing, but planning on converting a keggle and getting my equipment all set up to switch to AG

I host brew day parties at my house, and ask all my friends that are coming to bring a 6er or some bombers of their favorite. I figure they keep me drinking while I brew, so I can keep them drinking when the batch is ready.

Sad. Big beer strikes again. http://beerandwhiskeybros.com/2011/03/30/was-brewmasters-killed-by-big-beer/ http://twitter.com/#!/NoReservations/status/52835367430266880 http://twitter.com/#!/NoReservations/status/52834992082006016

thanks for the encouragement to make a starter guys! I decanted and pitched this Sunday into 1.068 wort (a little shy of my target 1.070) and I'm seeing very active fermentation this morning.

haha, i had quite a bit of help going through those. We usually dont start knocking them back until the mash is done. :tank:

Good times. Spent grain Chillin' in the chamber The aftermath of the brew day

after chilling, decanting, adding new wort, and sitting on the counter for a day, a few swirls, and we got this... i think theres some yeast loving going on in that flask :D

so far so good. the yeast seems really happy with the starter. that was just after a couple swirls

trying my first AG brew on saturday!
