I have tried liberty and sterling here and they don't do well. I need to dig these up and I'll use my own rhizomes from my cascade and galena to put into their spots. these will do well in a more humid climate than New Mexico. they flourished during monsoon season when the humidity came up and...

I have several hops plants, 2 3rd year, 2 2nd year and 4 1st year. I notice that the 2nd yr Willamette and the 3rd yr Cascade every year have several tips that shrivel and die. some leaves look possibly eaten by rabbit or bugs, but not bad. the Galena seem to never have this problem and sits in...

trying to figure out what I can do with this thing. it was given to me by a friend today. the top has a "11-58", so I assume it's from 1958. it also says aluminum, so no stainless steel? haven't looked inside it yet. and I know very little about kegs, let alone old ones.

so my Wyeast 3068 Weihenstepan that was harvested a few months ago, it seem, are too stressed to ferment well. I got from 1.046 to 1.022 in 2 weeks and it tastes very cidery. temp has been stable and my pale ale fermented out fine sitting next to it (different yeast of course). I got some new...

I hope I'm posting this in the right area. I brewed up an AG hefe(SG-1.046) and an AG pale ale(SG-1.052) 2 weeks ago. both using harvested yeast- Wyeast weihenstepan 2nd gen, and wyeast scottish ale 3rd gen. both took off well with blowoffs, but are still bubbling away thought the airlock 2...

so I have made a few label versions for my english nut brown ale. most are rough drafts, the last one really needs a halo around the lettering so I can make it all the same color, but I have to do that at home with photoshop. so try to envision it that way.:D around here it seems about even for...

so my 40th b-day is coming up and I will be having a homebrew party to celebrate.:mug: so here is 2 of the labels of the 4 that I will be serving. I have been going very simple lately for my labels. thoughts and suggestions are welcome.

so this is my livingroom to dining room area in my house. the space under the 3 display shelves is dead/unused space. my keezer has been in the dining room next to that spot (pic 2). my wife had an aquarium on the lowest platform, but one end was starting to sag badly, and she decided she didn't...

it's been dead in the label area for a few days, so i'll liven it up with asking for critiques on my newest first draft label! it is for my Holiday ale which will be a xmas spiced med-high gravity amber. i absolutely am new with photoshop and can't even figure out how to shadow the lettering or...

well, i tried inkscape for the first time. most of my other labels have been done in photoshop. this beer is not even in the makings yet, but i've had it named for a while. what do you think? i struggled quite a bit and probably did some things a$$ backward.:drunk:

ok, my next attempt at a label and second time using photoshop. still lost, but getting better. comments/suggestions? I couldn't get the brewery logo to show the pattern through the white. it kept putting it in the monk only. i even tried inverting the colors with same results.:confused: oh...

well, i'm stuck. or my beer fermentation seems to be. i brewed a Munich Dunkel 2 weeks ago. i did a partial mash, but it dropped 18*, so it was more of a soak. 158* down to 140* over 60 mins. I didn't expect much out of the mash anyway besides some color. everything else went to plan. 7lbs of...

ok, i finally have enough posts to link images of my logo and labels. here is my brewery logo. i should include a picture of me because i somehow got this thing to look just like my head and face. i laugh every time i see it.:D simply done in MSpaint. the quality is low, but it looks great...

well, i did it yesterday! it was my first AG brew! thanks to all of you here. i have been lurking and learning 'till ready to give it a go. 10 days ago i did a partial mash Hefe. yesterday i set up an ag hefe mash and bottled the PM batch. so my mash was 90 mins, only because i had a bunch to...
