Russian Imperial Stout -- simple 5 gal recipe needed. Thanks!!!

I have a wild strain of hops growing in my backyard. What is the best way to harvest and store. Also, for a general hop, does anyone have a simple recipe that may work?

I just drank my beer and it totally surprised me. I made a beer that was extremely hoppy. It fermented without me adding yeast. I left it in indirect sunlight for a couple of days, and then stored it for over a year... oh yeah and the plug dried allowing air in. i have no idea how long that went...

Can a beer ferment and age in a room with ambient sunlight, not direct and be okay?

I am going to taste it tonight... I am not going to die am I? the sun may have gotten in, but it is probably just infected.

If this beer turns out... It will be a f*cking miricle. I had a batch self ferment on its own. It was going crazy! It fermented from Mon-Friday. Now it isn't fermenting as far as I can see. Also, the smell has changed from delicious to skunky. I am going to wait this one out regardless, but...

Immaculate Conception IPA

I am just wondering the best way to clean and sanitize my hoses. I have racking cane, a hose the same size and an overflow hose. I am just not sure how to clean out the inside. Thanks!

I cleaned everything as I went, but hey maybe I missed it. It could have easily been in a hose. However, it is definitely fermenting, and again smells really really good. I love the color and everything. I will post a pic tonight. I think it is going to turn out fine... and this will just be a...

There would be a variance if you did two batches, but it should still ferment. I don't know how much of a beer taste expert you are, but most people shouldn't know the difference.

Also, I thought Joseph was the descendant of David.

I will try to post a pic tonight. I figure since I already have an overflow bucket going. I am going to start a new batch tonight too. Thanks for all the help. I didn't mean to start a debate on Christianity, but then again, that is usually a the main topic of discussion when I drink beer to...

also, it is bubbling up just like a normal batch... nothing unusual.

well that is why I wanted to name the corboy Mary... it is producing the Jesus beer, but it sounds like it may end up as Rosemary's baby... The smell is good actually, really good, nothing unsual, so I am going to ride this one out... could be a disaster, but I am going to let Mary work...

I have made 3 beer batches in the past. It is fermenting for sure. lots of activity. So should i add the yeast, or can i refreeze it?

I think I have Jesus beer here... I didn't have a wort cooler so I let the wort sit an extra day in a sealed corboy to get to about 75 degress. I woke up this morning and it is fermenting on its own... IS THIS NORMAL? Or should I rename the corboy "Mary", and the IPA to "Jesus IPA Ale"? Where...

BEVART is where my beer cherry was popped and Greg (I think) has pulled me out of a brewing pickle or two.

My beer is sitting @ 84 degress for 8 hours. Can I add my yeast?

Can I add any sugar to it? Maybe, just a touch before adding yeast? SmugMug, so I can expect a really hoppy Ale, just just not a true IPA?
