Looking at brewing skeezer's Wooky Jack clone. My LHBS doesn't have cararye, though... Is there any substitute for this that people have used and found o be acceptable?

Just ordered 2 lbs of Simcoe last night, I just checked and they still have both Amarillo and Simcoe. I had ordered some Amarillo from them last week, shortly after they were out, now they're back in. $7 flat shipping, too.

Got about 10 oz. of hops from my first year Columbus plant this year. At brew club last night, someone told me I shouldn't use grown hops until the third year. Anyone agree or disagree with this?

Got home today to find ups delivered my cheap corona mill from discount tommy. Picked up a 50# sack of 2-row for $32, and proceeded to crank out 15 lbs of 2 row for tomorrow night. I will be rigging this for use with my drill ASAP. Didn't have any bolts that fit it tonight, but I'll be damned if...

Does anyone have experience with this yeast? I'm doing a Belgian Blonde next weekend, and saw this at Midwest. If you have used it, any thoughts/feelings about it?

Fail... I was moving my fermenter bucket out of my swamp cooler tonight and didn't think about the negative pressure that would happen. As a result, most of the star San I had in the airlock was immediately sucked into the beer. I'm sure it won't hurt the beer, just was upset by it. I took the...

I'm talking about 3-4 weeks after its been harvested and sitting in the fridge... I've got a quart jar of irish ale wlp-004 filled...

It's finishing the boil on this one. A buddy paid for the ingredients, so I said I'd brew it for him. Of course, I keep half of it ;-). Things are going smoothly, a little more boil off than I anticipated, but it smells heavenly so far. Hit my numbers all around so far as well. I love all grain!

Took the plunge today... Brewed the Two Hearted clone from a recipe somewhere on a thread here that had good reviews. Everything seemed to go smoothly too, Mash temp stayed at a constant 150 for an hour, drained rained it to my kettle, then batch sparged according plan. The boil went well...
