Does anyone have know a supplier that sells these, or sells crowns or rhizomes!? I know there are only like two beers brewed with this hop, and it's unlikely I will find them but it's worth a shot! They are unbelievably delicious!!!!!

Just got the hookup from my uncle, his neighbor works for Miller/Coors and brought a few old kegs thome and asked my uncle if he knew anyone who wanted them so got lucky! They are both aluminum with that rubber coating. Anyone ever had to remove the rubber on them before looking for any tips I...

Brewed a Centennial RyePA today, and when I opened the bag of hops my nose went straight to heaven! Like I was standing in a peach orchard thats was blooming like crazy! I haven't done a beer with that hop variety in a while and every time I do it reminds me of why I should. Love me some...

Crowns VS Rhizomes... What am I more likely to get a decent first year harvest? I work in the turf industry and have for years so I have plenty of plant knowledge when it comes to Irrigation, fertilization rates, and pest management. The question I am most interested in is this. If I do...

So I was wanting to start a hop garden this year and had plans to. I now am moving the first of may (SW OH). I have. Perfect place to grow, a big elevated porch that I can run twine up to, and lots of sunlight. I was hoping to get to harvest some hops this year. If I shop and plant 1st week of...

I just can seem to get find a recipe that is knocking my socks off. I need something that is comparable to a fresh keg of Pallet Wrecker or something. I'm trying to figure out how to get explosive hop flavor and aroma, not just big hop bitterness! HELP!!!!!

Brewed a stout a few weeks back, force carbed it and :( for head and lacing! It taste fantastic, but I don't understand what went wrong. The head falls within 15 seconds, and virtually nothing clings to the glass. I uses wheat malt, and flaked oats so I thought that would help. After it was...

I'm not a total newb to brewing (3+ years), I'm never surprised how fast from grain to glass on a low gravity APA, but a moderate gravity cream stout? 7 days from 1.062 to 1.018 and steady. It's been 10 days overall and I wouldn't be afraid to keg/carb/compete this beer right now! S-04 at 60 for...

I am going to built a box from 2x6 and a trellis here soon to make my small hop garden. I live is SW OH just north of Cincy so I figured I would play it safe and only grow Cascades, and maybe centennial. How high realistically do I need to build my trellis? I am an assistant greens keeper at a...

I have brewed 4 AG batches. First batch hit spot on at 70%. The last three have been between 60-65%. I even did a double batch sparge on the last two. I am hitting my temps spot on and holding them well. I mash in a cooler, have done all single infusion, and batch sparge. My volumes are right...

I have a stock pile of Safale S-04 that I need to use up. I have an RIS I brew every spring with an SG of 1.090ish. I usually use WLP0005 with a 1L starter but I figured I would sub that out and use up my S-04. I have 4 packs. How many should I pitch? I have never switched it up between liquid...

So I am looking to brew half batches of some different styles of beers for a couple reason. It will be hard for me to finish 5 gallons of a 10% ABV RIS in any reasonable time, and second I don't want to hold up carboy space for long aging beer. Basically I am just wanting to brew half batches of...

First time harvesting yeast from a commercial brewery, I used the dregs from 3 bottles and pitched it into some cooled wort from an APA I was brewing at the same time. It took 36hr to form a Krausen and now this little starter is going wild. Lots of yeast in suspension, good little fermentation...

My pipe line is dry, my buckets and carboys are dry, my refrigerator is out of Craft beer, the only remnant if beer that remains is a dozen cans or so of BMC from a Christmas party. SWMBO's New Years Budget Resolution has left my kegs empty and my mouth dry. So thirsty for a savory IPA or a...

I got my hands on 30ft or so of refrigerator copper water line, thank to the gentleman from Lows that delivered my new range yesterday. Most of this stuff is tarnished and got paint on it so there isn't a chance it is going into a pot of my boiling wort. So I bent up about a 20' pre-chiller I...

So I am thinking of doing a parti-gyle brew for my next brew day. Thinking of maybe doing a barley wine or Wee heavy for my first running, but I'm a little intimidated by the whole idea. Would I just pick a high gravity beer for my first runnings, and batch sparge to pre-boil volume like any...

I have been brewing for a while now, started partial mash right out if the gate an have made some great beer. My wife and I recently moved to a new house with more room so I decided to brew an AG batch. I installed a RO system for my water and its great. Brewed a batch of the cascades and...

So I am wanting to start growing hops next spring, but I am not wanting to have some towering high setup in my back yard. Is there any other way of doing it? Can you grow them horizontal, or up and down in a zig/zag pattern?

So I have been playing with a Maris Otter & Cascade SMaSH IPA recipe for a while. I did a 2oz dry hop addition to the carboy 5 days ago, and pulled a sample tonight with the thief for it to be MEH!!! With hop aroma.... I started cold crashing this beer tonight and what are your opinions of...

I'm sure this has been done before, but if for some very sad and crazy reason there was only one hop variety left on earth the brew with what would you choose and why? I know this is tough because there are too many good varieties to choose from... For me it would be Amarillo, moderate AA's and...
