Decided to begin my first sour experiment after almost 3 years of making non-sour beer. Brewed a Berliner Weiss and decided to kettle sour (or for me cooler sour to try and hold temp). Pitched a strain of Lacto Brevis from Wyeast's Private Collection Friday around 2:30pm into 105ish degree...

Encountered something weird today when looking at my Centennial plant. A dozen or so leaves on one of the bines had turned yellow and brown and basically fell off when I touched them. The other bines on the same plant look pretty normal and green (although a bit damaged by insects and...

Hey guys, first year hop grower here in NC. Strongest rhizome has turned out to be what I think is Cascade (may have mixed them up) but over the past week noticed some spots on the leaves turning yellowish. Karma points for anyone who has advice or thinks they know what it is (already been...

So this is my 5th All-Grain Batch - an Amarillo IPA and my first one with Irish Moss. I added about a half-teaspoon (doing 1 gallon batches for now) 15 minutes left in the boil and used S-04 yeast. Now about 6 hours after I put it into the carboy theres some strange strange sort of bloom...
