Dan, I completely agree with the no heat method. Just wondering if u tried the tent/ dehumidify method from the start and if so, how did it work out?

Apparently the bine 3060 plans are online somewhere. I haven't been able to find it yet though. The reason I know about these things is because I plan on starting a hop farm in eastern pa next year. Good luck to u

You should check out u of Vermont. They have a hop extension and some pretty cook things going on. Also check out the bine 3060. Good luck to you

What state are you growing them in?

I was thinking of something small like those plastic things in a pill bottle that sucks up the moister. Something small like that, that you could put a small amount of hops in each bottle without getting the hop particles in the beer. I wouldn't put a whole cone in each bottle. Thanks for your...

Just what the subject says. What is the max time you could leave hops in a fermenter? Where I'm going with this is why not dry hop in the bottles if there was a good way to do it. Would the hops start to rot after a while? There's no oxygen and its covered in alcohol, so why not? What do you...

AD AF here. Stationed at McGuire AFB NJ. We have a micro brew setup on base. Been working on getting it started for about a year now, as well as a Homebrew club. Hopefully another 6 months or so we will be serving at the club on base. If anyone passes through, stop on by. Someone should start a...

The only thing I changed was the honey. I used 16 lbs. I tried it at 7 months and it still needed to chill out a little more. I'm at 9 now so I might crack another one pretty soon. The orange was very lite. I'm hoping the orange and vanilla come threw a little more over time. I think my O.G. Was...

Just a heads up, I made this for my wife as well because she doesn't like dry wines at all and this came out real sweet. She said it was to sweet. I used white labs sweet mead yeast and if I make it again I would go wl semi-sweet mead yeast. Good luck to you.

It hasn't happened to me but I wouldn't worry about it. Just let it ferment out and see what happens.

I have not brewed under one but I fried a couple turkeys under them with no issues.

So this is what I brewed on 8 dec and tapped today. 10 gallon all grain-90 min boil 28lbs 2-row 1 1/2lbs crystal 60l 2.5oz magnum (60 min) 1 Wirloft tablet (15 min) 2oz magnum (5 min) 2oz crystal (5 min) 2 packs wyeast 1056 American ale yeast 1.4oz magnum (dry) 1.4oz crystal (dry) 1.4oz citra...

I've made several lagers and have used different methods with the yeast and its worked every time. You can do a starter for lagers the same way you do it for ales. It doesn't have to be colder. I've also just rehydrated the yeast for about 10 min in some Luke warm water and I've pitched it right...

Well I had a bunch of leftover hops in the freezer and I just made a bock so I had some extra room in my lagering fridge so I made a pretty basic American lager with some added honey malt and threw in all the leftover hops. I have no idea how it will turn out but if it ends up being good ill...

Anyone ever make an American lager type beer with ipa type hop bill? If so, how did it turn out?

Just an update to mine. I'm at 4 weeks now, 2 primary and 2 secondary, and the alcohol taste has gone down a little bit but it still over takes the beer. I'm going to let it go another 2 weeks then bottle for at least another 2 weeks. Ill update when I bottle this one. Hopefully it mellows out...

I just racked mine to the secondary and I snuck a little taste and mine tastes the same way. My plan is to let it sit another week or so then bottle and let it age till christmas. I really hope things turn around on this beer. Just know you're not alone on this one.

Velcro is a good idea. Thanks for the help

Ok, so I got my temp controller built and it seems to be working good but I have one question. Can you drill into the side of a fridge? Just the old school fridge on bottom and freezer on top fridge. I want to mount my controller to the side of it but don't know if I will drill into lines and...

Mine is made out of a medal box as well and I ended up just cutting out a hole where the magnets spin at because I couldn't find magnets strong enough to go threw the medal and turn the stir bar. You can always try using it and if it doesn't work use a whole saw and cut a circle hole in the top.
