I have no clue on the propane savings, but I love all three of my Blichmann burners. I currently brew in sankey keggles. I just bought a new 30 gallon blichmann, and will be getting a used one, plus a used 55 gallon boilermaker soon. 1bbl at a time will be nice. Daytripper: What size pot...

We had our March meeting of our homebrew club at the store last Sunday. Pallets of grain, and many boxes of supplies around. Joe should be open tomorrow. Saturday, March 24. If any of you are interested in joining our club, you can send me a PM, or check out www.northolympicbrewersguild.com...

Too bad about Ted's place, eh? But, that's what got me to do this on my own.......

Well folks, I'm drinking my first lavender beer tonight. One thing I learned about is the different varieties of lavender. DO NOT use aromatic lavender. It contains camphor. (think vicks vapor rub) Use Grosso lavender, or any culinary lavender. I bought the lawnmower saison kit from...

Wow, funny you should ask. I ordered this today: http://www.austinhomebrew.com/product_info.php?cPath=178_452_43_246&products_id=10902&osCsid=e2789807527c69781ac9472cadb68ee5 I've not ordered from Austin, so can't say anything about them. But I'm a big fan of Blue Moon (even if brewed by...

Thanks folks, I'm gonna give it a try.....:mug:

How much and when to add for a five gallon extract recipe?

My home town has a big lavender festival each year, I'd like to brew some lavender beer as a tribute to this event. Any clues? (and I know how goofy this sounds, but there ya go...)

I like the midwest kits, and they have a great variety. Too bad prices are going up soon because of the hops.

I'm gonna use my regualr 4' chain link, and trellis horizontally. I'm intrigued by cutting them off at 1' and letting them branch. sounds like a plan. :mug:

MCKbrew - You're from Silverdale eh? Too bad about Heads-up. Their closure is what got me to start doing this at home. Send me a note at [email protected], and I'll let you know when (or if) I get a crop this year. - Mic:mug:

Nice pics. I'm gonna trellis mine along a chainlink fence. All the way around my one acre. I have about 500ft of fence, and are spacing them at 20ft. Washington State master gardeners say they trellis very well. I'm gonna find out..... :mug:

My vendor said they would produce the first year, that's all I know. www.midwestsupplies.com Also, my son is outside right now digging the holes as described at http://byo.com/feature/116.html and I'm off to home depot to get the equipment for drip irrigation. I've been told the first...

Washington State, on the North side of the Olympic Peninsula Thanks for the advice, while I was searching tonight I found a guy starting a "hope exchange forum" in Seattle. Sounds like he is trying to get folks like me together to trade, and we'll have a greater variety.

In order to avoid things such as the hop shortage, I am going to grow my own hops. I have ordered 24 rhizomes, and have plenty of room for the growing. But to get the variety I need for my own use, I will have so many plants, and will have extra hops. Seems a shame to just compost them...

That's what I do. 2.5 gallons for the boil, and 2.5 very cold (almost frozen) Doesn't quite get the wort cold enough though. I just put the primary fermenter in an ice filled sink. 10 minutes to 75 degrees. I don't think a wort chiller can beat that.
