OK, to make a short story long, last month during our warmest march ever I planted my hop rhizomes into their new home. Due to unforseen mold growth and other mishaps I lost the labels on my rhizomes...so I don't know which is which! I remember last year (my first year with them) my cascade...

Hey all, I recently moved and brought some nugget and cascade rhizomes from my old place. I am figuring out where I am going to plant them. I have decided to plant them along the back of my property along the metal fence. This gives southern exposure, it's far from the road so no dust and...

Hi, I have been spoiled and have never had to bottle, I have had a keg from day 1 I have some people that want to try my beer that are out of town, so I got four 600mL bottles (Beau's) that I was planning on using to give them a taste of my next beer. I have read that for a 12 oz bottle you...

Hi, I made a keg of coopers corona for SWMBO and it turned out great, but since it will be drank out of glasses and pitchers instead of the fancy bottle with a lime wedge, I thought I would just add the lime juice to the keg and forego the hassle of having to cut lime slices or wedges. How much...

I have now made a couple kit beers, and I am about to make another, and want it to taste good. My last ones have had that cidery taste from the pound of dextrose I have been using, and I don't like it. I went on beer calculus and plugged in some stuff and just want to run it by you to see if I...

So I made my frist brew on easter weekend, and now mearly 2 months later I finally have it in the keg. I was going to crash cool it and then keg, but my carboy won't fit in the fridge, so I just racked and put the keg in there to cool. I am just playing around with trying to balance the...

Hey, so I made my first batch over the Easter long weekend, it has been in secondary for like 3 weeks. I am sick as hell of waiting for the damn thing to finish. OG 1044, sofar I am down to 1014...and it is still bubbling like 3 times a minute, so it is going down and the yeast are still...

I planted a cascade and nugget rhizome in early may and they are coming along pretty good. The thing is though, the cascade has only sent out one bine. The bine is a couple feet long now and looking healthy and all good, but I would like more bines. Would cutting the bine promote more growth...

I made my first batch 3 weeks ago, had issues with the yeast, had to repitch a different brand of yeast (it was all I had) and finally got it going, 2 weeks later my SG had gone from 1044 to 1020, and was stuck, no action. I waited another week and fg was still 1020, and there was no bubbling...

I have a coopers corona kit that I want to use up (it was free) but the yeast is expired. I was thinking I would use a proper lager yeast and use the BE2 and can 'o LME to try to make a really neutral cerveza for my wife to drink, has anybody done this?

I made my first batch last night, I used a Morgans Canadian Blond kit, and used 1 kg DME and a level cup of Dex, OG was 1.044. Boiled the dry stuff, added the can, and topped up with cool water. I proofed my yeast, but it was dead (kit is slightly expired) so I added another packette (a random...

I have read and read every how to for beginners and am still at a loss. I am buying a home brew kit from somebody that took the effort to buy everything for me and then give up, so I will be ready to brew Friday night. The kit comes with a couple LME kits, and I was thin king of making the...
