Hi, Im new to growing hops. I live in wisconsin, My question is, is it crazy to plant hops now to go through winter and start growing in spring? Just wondering if anyone has tried this with sucess. Thanks

Hello Rex personaly i would start with your frementing temp. I just brought two party tubs i plan to use for fermenting with some water and bottled water thats frozen. i got them at walmart for 4 bucks each.

Oh yeah forgot that one next time DONT PUMP. It should be fine though.

Hello, My siphon takes a while also. The higher you can get the secondary up the better it goes. I also just toss the remainder of the brew under the spigot too the beer gods. The sour taste is probably because the beer is still young. Let it bottle condition for at least 3-4 weeks.

Hello and welcome. I would just leave it for 2 more weeks than take a reading. I know its hard to wait but it will be worth it.

Hello, and welcome. 1. That should be fine as long as its covered. Transfer into the carboy after a week or two (two if your like me, busy) and wash the HELL outta that bottling bucket/ fermenter. Spigot and all take it apart. 2.if theres a substantial amount you put to much water in. Only...

Ahh Patience natural. If your directions say to secondary for 1-2 weeks let it sit 3-4 weeks. Youll be glad you did.

Just realized I did not sanitize my ferment bucket that a smashing pumpkin brew just went into Saturday night. OOPS

Yep no worries, Its all good.

My first three batches were a Irish Red, Wit and Honey Brown all from northern brewer. The Brown was the best. All were Extract.

The Brown came out great, the wit and red I undercarbed, the wit the worst with almost no carb. Red is good but slightly on the strong side. Is ok though. :)

Woops just saw your a brother. Thanks again man. :cross:

Thanks that is one of the best answers i've received on here. Thanks Brother or Sister. :rockin:

Just wondering if any of you Milwaukee AGers add anything too your tap water. If you dont use tap what bottled water do you use and do you add anything too that? Im going AG soon Thanks. :ban:

Putting salt in your brew takes the "bite" out of it.

BUMB UPDATE The brew has gone form watery to plad. j/k It is way less watery. Let this be a lesson to the novice. Time does heal all wounds, and also makes your brew the yum. :ban: :rockin:

nope thats 54th.

Sup Hommie. :ban: :rockin::rockin: :cross: Ever want to drink on a Saturday mosey on over to 55th and Oklahoma. Youll hear us. :drunk:

+1 on Cliffords. Go early like 4:00 no later, gets really packed then clears out around 8:00 or so.
