I have Cascade, Sterling, Fuggle & Mt. Hood that were planted 3 years ago. That garden space is being claimed for veggies. Come dig them up and they are yours! I'd love to try one of your brews in exchange for the plants;) I am in Trumbull, CT.

I figured that a positive thread was in order with the new batch of Penrose kettles arriving. While mine is not here yet I look forward to stepping up my brew day with the larger kettle and ball valve. Feel free to elaborate with your findings...

Is anyone heading up to Monroe for the open house @ Maltose Express?

I am stepping up to 10g batches from my 7.5g kettle. I'm looking at the Bayou 15.5g SS kettle. I've seen a few good posts about them. Yea OR Nay?

I brewed an AG SA Cream Stout clone one week ago. I tested the Gravity this weekend at 1.022 - the sample was pretty slick with diacetyl but I liked the flavor. I used the Wyeast 1968 London Ale ESB and the recipe from Beer Captured. I will be gone through the weekend so it won't get to the...

I started this up yesterday from a propagator pack into 1.8L starter on a stir plate. As of yesterday eve I saw no activity - so I moved the setup to a warmer area. Still no activity overnight. I turned off the stirrer to see if there is any settling after a bit. Thoughts? Should I look to...

Anyone ever go this route? I'm using them in my kegs for the dry hop and wondered if the might work for the boil as well. I am thinking of going with the Blingman 20G and have read that there "strainer" is the pits for pellets.

So I went to my LHBS to get the bill for this to brew tomorrow night. I think I might have misspoken when ordering - but I now have 10lbs of pilsen mixed with my 2.5lbs wheat. Not the 8#/2.5# ratio this recipe calls for. I got 2oz of perle and 2oz. of tetnang to have extra. Any...

I am currently waiting on my sparge for my first AG batch. I am doing Ed's Bee Cave Haus Pale Ale. I hit my mash temp and everything seems to be moving along nicely. I'll keep you posted as it moves along. Thanks to everyone on here - there is no way I could have done this without the...

I pulled out a couple of old kegs to fill up with beers this morning - I wasn't sure what was in them as I'm just getting back into brewing after a years hiatus. I figured it would hurt to hook up the CO2 and check it out rather than just opening/dumping them. The first was my cider from last...

Just picked up all the parts from the orange big box to make my mash tun. They have the 5 gallon orange Rubbermaid coolers for $18!!! I might go back tomorrow to pickup another and see what the price on the 10G version would be... All said and done I dropped under $50. After HD I hit my...

I'm going to make pizza dough today. Would a packet of Notty work instead of using the flavorless bakers yeast?

@Maltose Express in Monroe - 10am I am going to try to get up there to check it out as I am looking to try some all-grain in the next year or so... http://www.maltose.com/Construction/Event_Schedule.html

I don't know if anyone has already posted this or where it should go. But it is pretty cool in my book: http://www.horsetoothbrewing.com/Bierstadt/index.html

I activated a Wyeast pack this afternoon with the idea that I would get around to brewing. Unfortunately life happened and I won't get to cook it up tonight. If i stick this in the fridge will it be Ok to warm up again for one night later this week? Cheers AT

Jut got 5 gallons unpasturized fresh cider that currently is at 1.05 au natural. How much brown sugar would you suggest to get the SG to 1.06-ish? I'll be using Nottingham and force-carbing in the keg. My 2nd question is - What do you think my chances of having something palatable by...

Can anyone recommend any plants, flowers or veggies, that will grow well between hops? I'd love to somehow utilize the spare space... Thanks AT in CT

I wanted to get a response as to how people did with their first year rhizomes? I have four rhizomes going in he ground today, but I get the impression that the first year is pretty much devoted to root growth. That being said I am going to stake each plant with an eight foot pole as opposed to...

Anyone hettin' hoppy in the garden in CT? I am in Trumbull and going to try to grow. Cheers AT
