As title says, Brewfest still open and tickets available. 2 sessions, 11-3 and 4-8pm. Sat May 11th. I entered 3 brews into their homebrew competition. I know a lot of local brewers who attend regularly. Very good time, all you can eat and drink for $40 if you get the tickets online and you...

If anyone is interested in cheap rhizomes I just posted a for sale ad in the classified section. I will also do rhizome trades depending on what you have. At the moment I have Centennial, a few Chinook and will have Cascade, Hallertau, and Mt Hood as well in a few days one I dig them up...

I trimmed a 3 year old Centennial plant and I ended up with a huge amount of rhizomes. I had 2 harvests from this plant last year. Shipping will be flat rate USPS small box at $5.80. I can fit quite a few in a small box, if someone is looking for multiples. Payment via paypal or MO. ALL...

I'm posting this because I'm amazed at the fact that I'm brewing with washed yeast that I washed on 7-8-11. It is now fermenting like crazy at 48-50*F. Below is a pic of the starter from last week. I was pretty anal about being aseptic and it seems like the yeast was fine and kept cold in a...

Anyone up north have their hops growing yet? I was in the backyard yesterday and noticed chutes coming up from every plant that I have, 7 varietes. Due to this mild winter here, I'm about 2-3 months ahead of what I had last year. beerloaf

I currently grow 7 different hops. Cascade, Centennial, Chinook, Hallertau, Mt Hood, Norhern Brewer, EKG, and just ordered Fuggle and Saaz today. I'm always on the lookout for Styrian Golding does anyone have a good source for those or have any of their own they want to get rid of or trade...

I will be attempting to brew a Rochefort 10 clone and I do not plan to decoct however was thinking of a multi step mash instead. I don't have the equpment to do decoction. These are the original numbers: 30 min at 135*F, 40 min at 145*F, 20 min at 165*F and mashout 10 min for 172*F. Since...

I need opinions on which to do. I converted the below recipe to all grain and wanted to know which would be best. My gut tells me to mash all grains including the dark grains with the rest however I did read that some people steep those seperately like you would while brewing with extract. My...

Something interesting happened to me the other day. I put a bottle of Saison I brewed into the freezer to crash cool it super fast so that I could drink it an hour later. Instead I forgot about it due to being busy and not setting a timer and woke up the next morning getting ready for work and...

I managed to pick 13 oz of Chinook this morning and still have probably half of that on the plant that wasn't ready yet. Now drying in a spare room

Not mine! Just found this looking around for equipment....someone here might find it interesting. http://lancaster.craigslist.org/for/2472237173.html beerloaf

I have never brewed a lager so I thought "hey what the hell why not." I made a 2 L starter yesterday in a 1/2 gal jug. Even put an airlock on it for good measure. Yeah I know you don't have to but I had one sitting around so why not. This was an Oktoberfest lager yeast from White Labs and...

Well for a few weeks now, I've been wondering whats been chewing on my hop leaves. Coming home late last night, I noticed the tiny silk strands and little buggers hanging out under the leaves. I did some research and it appears that I had spider mites. The best part was that I was able to...

I just received more rhizomes from another forum member and will be planting them tomorrow. I already have 3 others doing well however not sure about how well the new ones will do planted this late. I won't have high expectations for them the 1st year

Well, where to begin....I do not consider myself an expert or even close to one for that matter, however I've done a few batches so far and all have gone well...until now! I got all of my supplies ready to bottle on this past Saturday 4/9. Cleaned every bottle and sanitized and so forth...

Just got the rhisomes. They look good. I did some research and found that Cascades will do well in here in PA. I also have Northern Brewer and Hallertau as well but I'm not sure how those will do here. Anyone have experience with them in the North East? beerloaf
