Can you spray Triazicide directly on the hop plants or would you spray the ground all around the plants? If you spray it on the plants and it gets on the hop cones, how would one get the chemical off before brewing? I don't think I want a Triazicide IPA ;) Ace

Try using 3.25 Oz. in a 5 gallon batch. 1.25 Oz @ 60 min 1 Oz. @ 30 min 1 Oz. @ flameout http://www.byo.com/resources/hops

This is my English Northern Brown Ale. This one turned out very well and tasted really good! This one is on the "To Do Again" list.

This one looked nice, but didn't have much alcohol. This was my first all grain batch that I tried on the stovetop in a kettle. I was trying to use the electric range to control mash temps and it failed miserably. I'd add heat and then would overshoot my temp a LOT, so I probably denatured...

New old guy here... Started brewing in 1986 over in England while in USAF (RAF Mildenhall). Know as The Brewmeister in the dorms :) I brew all-grain. Favorite is English Standard/Ordinary Bitters at present. Also enjoy stouts, porters, IPAs, Brown Ales, etc. Other hobbies are amateur...
