    4Hops Crowns - Free!!!

    I have Cascade, Sterling, Fuggle & Mt. Hood that were planted 3 years ago. That garden space is being claimed for veggies. Come dig them up and they are yours! I'd love to try one of your brews in exchange for the plants;) I am in Trumbull, CT.

    DFH local brewing competition

    Mmmm - looks like the same specs I got from the brewer @ Bell's. He said it is happiest around 72degF... And they use their house yeast on quite a variety of styles. What is your timeline for the contest? I like the idea of stepping up a huge starter and brewing multiples to see what the...

    Making the Switch (homemade mash/lauter tun

    I would flip the manifold over so the slits are on the bottom. With them on the top you will have the full weight of the grain pressing on them potentially creating sparging challenges. Also, with them on the bottom they will catch slightly more of the volume before losing their prime (less dead...

    yeast still going!

    Not gonna' lie - once my IPA ferments for three weeks, hits the keg and is carbed for a week I "taste" it every night. I try to brew hard for a few weeks to fill the pipeline. Once I have enough - then if I brew one a month I am "in beer." I'm currently making the switch to 10g batches - which...

    yeast still going!

    What temp are you fermenting at? I have a pacman IPA that has been just under 60degF for two weeks and it is still bubbling away. I checked the gravity today and it has gone from 1.068 to 1.020 - it should continue to drop to 1.016ish. The sample was delicious! I think I am going to give it a...

    So who's brewing this weekend?

    Just closed the bucket on an AG honey wheat. I harvested and stepped the yeast from a 6'r of Bell's 2 Hearted - half went in the wheat brew and half got washed and stored for later use.

    Making the Switch (homemade mash/lauter tun

    Nice! How many gallons for your cooler? I just used my 10g HD MT w/ copper manifold for the first time today. I did an American Wheat beer - man was it a slow running/sparge. Hopefully it'll run a bit faster w/out so much wheat in other recipes. My next wheat beer will have rice hulls for the...
