heh...all of my plants are second years. My cascade and centennial are about 2 feet tall and just now seem to be taking off. My hallertau, willemette, and nugget are going like crazy at 12-18 foot tall with flowers all over them. My cascades are in last but Im not too worried about it. We'll...

It ended up finishing at 1.018. The starting gravity was around 1.080. Its absolutely nasty. :) and it looks like a hefe! Oh well...

now the krausen is super thick. Can a wild yeast propagate that fast(4 days)? The tube was clean as can be and ran thru the dishwasher with the base screwed off...and heat dried. Im trying to find pictures of an active feremetation with brett or something other infection based fermentation...

One of my second years has stopped growing at about 5 feet on the main vines and the bottoms have a dozen or so 2 foot long side shoots. Would trimming this side shoots that are About 6 inches off the ground be a good idea?

So I forgot about my gravity sample on a PtE clone from Saturday that i pushed up behind some stuff after a hectic brew day. As I was getting my lunch ready for work I saw it and noticed it was fermenting with a krausen. It smells really sour but it's pretty active. I took the sample before I...

I just took another gravity reading at 2.5 weeks in the fermentor. Its at 1.012 which is fine by me. Its gonna sit in the primary anyways for another couple of weeks until I float a keg for it so im not worried about it. Gravity sample is good and has a great clover character but not...

Wow...I just came here to start a thread about this! Although Im still figuring out the system I want to go with. Care to elaborate what your using? I only have 5 second year plants that are all with in 20 feet of a water spigot.

did someone say automation?

I brewed this up this past sunday. I had the worst brew day ever. For some reason my mash temp was off and was around 165 for the first 10 minutes until I got it down to 154. Then I ripped my bag (biab) on the rtd probe. I ended up putting a spare piece of sheer voile in a bucket and...

Cool. Can you describe the fittings on your pump... I just did some quick googling after seeing your post and some people claim one side was npt and the other was bsp. Thanks!

How much to dry hop is personal preference to me. Look at other IPAs you have brewed and see what amounts you dry hopped for them. If it was me I would probably throw in an ounce of each at least. Look at the recipe database for similar recipes and start from there! I like the color of your...

Just pitched the yeast on my 5th go around on this recipe. Hit 1.048 for 5.5 gallons in the fermentor! I only had 6 ounces of 500 SRM roasted barley. I dont think it will matter much. This is a perfect beer for a 1 liter mug!

I would move the chinook to 60 minutes and the amarillo and simcoe starting at 15-20 minutes or so. Then dry hop with the citra. I have a rye ipa dry hopping right now that followed what I just described only dry hopping with more chinook, amarillo, and simcoe and it smells awesome of citrus!

american ale II always leaves a thick krausen for me for 2-3 weeks.

American Ale II always has a 2-3 week Krausen for me... One of my favorite yeasts.

I like GB...but my favorite chain is Rock Bottom...especially when they crack open their casks. If I lived where you did I would be hitting up mad fox brewing in falls church. I love that place! GB does have really dang good food though. I would take any kind of brew pub within walking...

I burnt a batch with a 5500w hwd element from lowes. The cigarette smell NEVER went away. All of that amarillo wasted. :( I used the camco 5500w now that everyone else uses.

I thought I would update as I just killed the keg of this. I liked it alot. I ended up doing: 10 lbs 2 row 2 lbs vienna .5 lbs carapils .5 lbs c60 hopped according to first post this time Im going to drop the C60 for C20. Im not good at describing the tastes but I think it had to...
