Got KBS, PT5th, Founds Imperial Stout. Looking for some fresh Pliny and/or Heady Topper. Or other cliche (probably) overrated things I can't get in MI. Message me or reply.

Unearthed a whole jar of these unused bottle caps. Anyone ever use anything like this for bottling? Anything that I should consider if I were to attempt to use them? There's cork lining the whole inside. Best guesses indicate these are from at least the 1960s if not earlier.

My trellis only goes up about 13 feet but my year two cascades are already almost all the way to the top. Can I train the burrito go back down somehow to get max bine length? Sometimes I think I like growing the hops more than using them.

I've dropped an e-mail to Saugatuck BC in hopes of getting some input on cloning their Bonfire Brown. If you haven't tried it, it's really an outstanding brown, and I'm not a huge fan of the style to begin with. It's only been a few hours, but no reply, so boredom breeds ingenuity. I saved the...

Looking to make something similar to Founders Inspired Artist Black IPA, and was wondering if anyone with a pallet more refined than mine might be able to give some input on the hops in there. From my perspective I think there's a good amount of floral notes in the nose, so I feel like there's...

They are fairly papery and feel light. And obviously they are starting to spread a bit, but I can't smell or see any lupulin (though I have no idea what it looks like. Just wondering what people can make of these images and whether or not they are ready to harvest. Cheers, Matt

Living in Michigan I've not had the chance to sample some Pliny the Elder, but I'm thinking of brewing up a clone nonetheless. Noticed that Farmhouse brew supply has Pliny Pack which it says is all the hops needed to clone. Anybody buy this? What are your thoughts on it?

First year growing, but loving the new "sub-hobby." Anyway, on my centennial I about a foot up I have new fairly long shoot coming out the side. It looks long enough to train up my trellis. Would it be worth attempting or should I just trim it off so the plant doesn't waste the energy? Also any...

I made a yeast starter last night. Checked it this morning and it must have been a lively group because my foil had blown right off the top and mu jar was completely exposed on top. Should I assume this starter is now unusable? Anyone had this happen and use the yeast anyway? Thanks, Matt

Hey all, I've got an imperial stout in the throws of primary fermentation. The plan is to transfer to secondary with some vanilla beans. I've seen many a person on the boards recommend vodka as the best way to sanitize and extract the flavors fromnthe beans. Problem is that I'm cheap and...

Hey all. I'm on AG batch #2 so really pretty new to it. Admittedly I am not one who has been super concerned with "exactness" in relation to things like efficiency and water chemistry just yet. With that in mind I am just curious how "bad" is it to use untreated tap water in my mash and sparge...

I have a robust chocolate porter that just finished in the primary. I am going to 4 lbs of frozen tart cherries to the secondary. Wondering if I can assume the frozen cherries are already sanitized or use other methods? I've heard of some people soaking in cheap vodka for example.

Hey all, My first post. I've had an Orange Cream ale that has been bottled 3 weeks now and shown pretty much no sign of carbing up. I added 2 oz of McCormick Orange extract at bottling to boost the orange flavor. I saw on another thread from a guy who said that McCormick Orange killed his yeast...
