    Spice, Herb, or Vegetable Beer Ginger Ale - 3rd place 2009 HBT BJCP Comp

    Brewed this last month minus the lemon zest and it is a very nice beer!

    2014 Hop garden photo thread

    3rd year hops. Right two are Centennial and the far left is a Cascade. Just started noticing burrs turning into cones as of yesterday.

    Agh...guess I should have double checked that!

    Yeah these are only 4". The hardest part wasn't so much connecting the beer line, but allowing the nut that tightens to be put on the shank itself. I had to take a box cutter to the plastic interior molding to cut away space in order to even get it on. So I'll either have to place them...

    Okay so they rotated after I posted. Weird. Going to be tough when I add second and third taps!

    Agh...guess I should have double checked that!

    Sorry the none of these pictures were rotated as they display on my phone but I installed my first faucet today a bit higher than ideal. HBT mobile bug, idonno. Had to cut into the plastic interior to screw the shank on but made it work. At least the outside looks good! Bought the adjustable...

    2nd Year Hops & Cold Snap

    Great thanks! I'll definitely do that, good to know that I should cut them anyway.

    2nd Year Hops & Cold Snap

    This is their second year (all 3). Last year they started as rhizomes.

    2nd Year Hops & Cold Snap

    Having a few cold mornings here in Indiana. I've got 3 plants, one of which is already 3 foot tall. Last night we got a dusting of snow and tonight we're expecting a freeze warning down to 30F. Is this going to hurt my harvest and should I cut the bines down and start fresh while it's still...

    Post pics of your smoker

    The efficiency is astounding. It holds heat like a boss, and you can shut it down when you are done and I'm just amazed how much lump charcoal I still have at the end of the day. Some day I wanna get the XL egg.

    Green Egging St. Louis Style Ribs w/ Extender

    I am using a medium big green egg and have two racks of St. Louis style ribs that I will have to cut in half to get them on the egg. If I use the grill extender and place a rack or two of ribs on that as well, will they still cook evenly? Obviously planning on an indirect smoke so my first...

    Should I be worried?

    Some rhizomes just may not be viable. Might as well give it some time and see. Probably not too late to find another rhizome at your local homebrew store in case.

    Should I be worried?

    How long ago were they planted? Did your Hallertau have white buds or eyes when you planted them? I'd give them some time. My first year I had 3 of 4 grow.

    I should've put a blowoff on last night...

    Alright we got a bigger vessel to blowoff in. I keep forgetting to get fermcap whenever I go to the store. I didn't expect it to get this nuts last night. I figured last night it was at it's peak and that since my fridge was holding it about 63F it wouldn't go too crazy. WRONG! This thing is...

    Yeah I need to get one of those, will a 6 1/2 carboy fit in one?
