I got nearly 2lbs of Cascades dried weight this year off a second year rhizome, and an additional 2 lbs combined from my Magnum and Willamettes. Everyone take a moment to thank the Hop gods for a fine harvest year!

Is there a tool made specifically for removing the spear?

Yes, without the top cut off. Thanks.

How do you clean a 15 gallon Sankey keg? What tools?

Me too! Little white floaties that wouldn't dissolve. I don't usem any more either.

Heres my Magnums, Willamette, and Cascades as of 6/25/08. The post is about 15 feet tall. The Willamette Valley is a no brainer for growing hops.:)

I like rocket fuel on occasion , usually in the form of Patron, but a nice 16% mead will work too.

I'm in Harrisburg, just North of Eugene. I am not sure how to handle all the vines. Is it best to cut back some? I was thinking of adding an extra twine or two to each plant and just letting all the vines grow, but I am new to hop growing,so I am not sure.

I'll be brewin it next weekend. It'll be ready next year, just to clarify my post. Bottling a dry mead this weekend, it is unbelievably clear. Tastes fantastic, but is definately alcoholic right now. Needs time to mellow for sure.

Ok, maybe this is general chit chat, or just bragging but I just went out and checked my hops I planted last year and they're already over a foot tall. Ther is a million shoots coming up also. The first year they only shot up a few shoots, but they're all over the place now. It sure is nice to...

Thanks. Sweet Orange blossom mead next weekend!

I mail ordered some Orange blossom honey from MoreBeer.com and the bucket was completely crytalized. Will this affect the Mead flavor or is it OK. I heated a little up and tasted it and it seems to taste fine.

Great thread. My Brutus is 1/2 done, I have the pumps, Therminater, burners, thermowells, temp controllers, valves, and stand ready to go but am researching pilot light assemblies. I think I have all the information I need from these posts. Hopefully mine will be done in the next few weeks. I...

Don't do it Bro--!! Buy a Jeep instead. JK, good luck, and congratulations!:mug:

My third batch was AG. My first book was HOW TO BREW by John Palmer. It really made all grain brewing easy to understand.

Started at noon and I'm just now pitching yeast (8:30pm) . $30 in hops, $20 in water, $20 grain and 8 hours labor, this better be one hell of a Bohemian Pils. I coulda bought 4 cases of Pilsner Urquell. I must be crazy. Maybe I'll try a triple decocted Octoberfest next weekend. :mug...
