Is there a list of commercial beers, and the types of hops used in them located somewhere online? Either guesses or known (like if they list them on the lable). Thanks!

I've got a couple first year hops growing. Fuggles and Willamette. I have them running up 20' lines next to my porch. They both started out fairly strong, and look good. One problem I've had, is that something is eating the leaves. I've used a couple different types of organic...

All my hops (fuggles and willamette) are growing great, but something is eating holes into the leaves... they look like somebody shot them with little hops leaves killin' shotguns. I don't see any insects around them... I killed off all the ants before I planted them... What could...

I plan on planting a few hops vines in front of my two story porch this year... and they will be climbing up strings to the second story. The strings will only be a few inches away from the porch itself. I assume they will cling/climb on the railings as well as the string, and I'm cool with...

This thread is mostly a rant... I just gotta get this off my chest. So, I brewed my latest batch... took especial care to do everything right that I f'd up in the first batch... and it all went awesome. Then, I let it set in the fermentor for 2 weeks, until it calmed down and...

I am brewing up a beer tomorrow, and its the first time I've used Candi Sugar. I got a # of candi sugar, and when I opened it up, it looks like a a # of rock candy pebbles... Will these dissolve in the wort? Or should I chuck them into a pot of water and disolve them first, and then add...

To you guys that convert the chest freezers to keggerators... I normally serve my beers around 50degreesF Does the temp control in the freezer make it possible to set the temp that high? Or is there some sort of additional thermostat type stuff that you have to install? Thanks...

In figuring out IBU's for recipies... I've been using the formula on pg. 353 of The Brewmaster's Bible (oz's of Hops x AA x utilization / 7.25). Last night I downloaded Beer Smith, and have been punching in some of the stuff I've been working on, and quickly realized that it figures out the...

This is my second beer, and so far, on both brews, the fermentation only lasted two and a half days. This most recent beer was going crazy within 12 hours of brewing it, and was bubbling so hard I contemplated switching from the airlock to a blowoff... and yet... I brewed it sunday morning...

Does it matter if the beer is fermenting up into the airlock? The water in my airlock has turned brown, and there is foam down around the base of my airlock on the lid of the bucket, and its bubbling away like crazy. This a bad thing? My last beer bubbled ok, but never this much. I just...

Hello to all, I just recently got into brewing. With my first batch, I basically walked into a homebrew store and said, "Gimme something tasty and easy to brew, please." And he pulled out a bunch of stuff (6.6 lbs. Golden Malt Extract, and 2 oz. of Hallertaou (sp?) hops, and a packet of...

What are the negative affects of just pouring a few beers into grolsh style bottles straight from my keg, if I wanted to just take a few on a camping trip over the weekend? Say, if I poured them friday morning, straight from the keg, into chilled bottles, with a low psi to kill foam...
