Thank you Thanks you Thank you

Newbie, bottled my first batch/AG batch and put it in the fridge to carbonate for 2 weeks. A day later my homebrew buddy told me I was supposed to leave it out to carbonate for the 2 weeks. Basically, after bottling and priming I put the beer in a fridge for 24 hours then took it out at...

I have never crushed my own grain and was recently given a Philmill. I have read information on gap settings, but I believe the Philmill is set up different. There really is no way I can figure out to measure the gap. How do I know if my crush is right? THANKS! :mug:

Just saw my first one on the hops this morning. But I have killed about 25 off my saint johns wort bush. Happy to know that they prefer that!

Just to clarify, if you are catching the flies, they are hazardous to hops?

Same here, I've seen a total of 15 at a time between my 3. First year here too.

I have had the same thing on the undersides of my leaves. Killed about 20 of them, mostly on my cascade. Any ideas?

My 2010 Hop and Beer Garden. You showed me yours, now I show you mine;) Planted 4/1/2010 near Chicago IL. Cascade, Chinook, and Northern Brewer's. Dug 3 holes about 18 inches deep and filled with garden soil, mushroom compost, perlite and sphagnum peet moss for drainage, and slow release...

My first year as well. I think there is no reason to worry, just keep watering. It seems its been pretty cold for you. I averaged about 60 degrees and it took my chinook 4 weeks to pop up. I say as long as they looked healthy when you put em in, they'll all pop up.

Agreed, this is my first season. Planted Cascade, Chinook, and Northern Brewer on 4/1/2010. Cascade came up on 4/10, Northern Brewer on 4/16, and haven't seen Chinook. Only one bine on each. I'm not worried.

Thanks for the insite. Now I'm tryinig to figure out if i could run a rope up the post and run the rope around the top. Create the effect of it being on the wood, but having it on the rope. I know it would be alot of training.

Enjoyed reading this. I have had plans since last year to build a pergola over a small patio set. I bought 2 Cascade, 2 Northern Brewers, and 2 Chinnook. Nearly the same as you. I plan on doing just two types on my pergola and I have to figure out if I want to put up a rope elsewhere for the...

Senior Members. I appreciate all your input. I do not own one piece of brewing equipment besides a couple library books and a home brewers catalog. Thank you for your input, it is greatly appreciated. Now I will PM you in response to the ad.

If only I lived in California... I'd have the whole Nine Yards and a tan.... Lemme know if you decide to send it out, I'm very interested!
