My first year hops are doing really well. The Magnum and Chinook are 12+ feet tall and putting off cones for couple weeks now. Cascades are not so hot but seem to have taken off lately. My question is this. From what I read around here, I want to leave runners and snip new shoots. I've...

So I began a West Coast Style IPA recipe earlier tonight and about 15 minutes into the boil a storm knocked my power out. Luckily I had a friend across town who still had power and we transported everything over to his place and finished the brew with about 30 minute delay. Thus was born...

I'm two batches into my homebrewing career and have learned a lot from these boards. Glad I found this great resource. Thanks I am in the process of collecting enough bottles to have enough 22 oz keeper bottles as well as some 12 oz bottles that I can travel with that I'm not too worried...

Hey guys/gals, I actually just finished the cleanup from my first homebrew boil attempt. I guess its just wait and hope from here. Really curious as to how it will work out due to some unforseen beginner type issues. If nothing else, I learned a bunch. I look forward to learning a whole...
