I know what you mean, it feels like i am living in Seattle!! My 2nd year hops shot up to almost 8 feet and between the rain and the cold they have just stopped growing altogether bring on the sun!!!

I have not made it to any of those compititions at CVB however theres another one coming in june i think and they are releasing a Double IPA soon and their Vodka is now available so well worth the trip. Hopefully I don't work that weekend!! And i'm just suprised someone knows where Ste...

I briefly skimmed the responses and i didn't see it so just to get back to the DE, there are 2 types of it, one is used for pool filters and from what i understand if it gets in your lungs it makes a bad day for everyone and it is FAR from organic and safe for food. However my SWMBO and i just...

It sounds like a good mixture however i would just be concerned about using tires, like what kind of stuff its leaching into the soil as its breaking down.

So about a month ago i had my old fuse box replaced with a circit box and i don't know to be happy or pissed :S I popped down a few times and noticed they were standing on a white bucket i didn't think of it until he was almost finished when i noticed it was my botteling bucket!!!! WTF???? He...

I'd keep it at a constant temp, I had 2 beers in my basement that started out with a pretty violent fermentation and 2 weeks later I tried my stout and it had a really yeasty taste to it so I moved it upstairs and after another 2 weeks the taste had subsided, i'm currently cold crashing it and...
