Nope... just thought it would be handy to have on hand at times. Also, have always been fond of big lists.

Is there a list of commercial beers, and the types of hops used in them located somewhere online? Either guesses or known (like if they list them on the lable). Thanks!

I just had a friend who was growing both. She cut some off for me, so I thought I'd give a go at trying to grow them. Personally, I haven't used anything but pellets in any of my brews. If I get anything from these hops, I intend on giving them away to friends who also brew.

Thank you all for the advice. I ended up being called out of town for work, so, I ended up just letting them go, and waiting to see what happened. All the fuggles are exactly the same height as when I posted this thread. But, an interesting developement occurred. One one bine, in 4...

I've got a couple first year hops growing. Fuggles and Willamette. I have them running up 20' lines next to my porch. They both started out fairly strong, and look good. One problem I've had, is that something is eating the leaves. I've used a couple different types of organic...

All my hops (fuggles and willamette) are growing great, but something is eating holes into the leaves... they look like somebody shot them with little hops leaves killin' shotguns. I don't see any insects around them... I killed off all the ants before I planted them... What could...

Japanese Beatles love oakleaf hydrangea's too. They will swarm to them.

Thanks for the advice... I ended up only getting 2 varieties instead of 3... so I don't have one to put up in front of the screened in porch.

I plan on planting a few hops vines in front of my two story porch this year... and they will be climbing up strings to the second story. The strings will only be a few inches away from the porch itself. I assume they will cling/climb on the railings as well as the string, and I'm cool with...

This thread is mostly a rant... I just gotta get this off my chest. So, I brewed my latest batch... took especial care to do everything right that I f'd up in the first batch... and it all went awesome. Then, I let it set in the fermentor for 2 weeks, until it calmed down and...

I am brewing up a beer tomorrow, and its the first time I've used Candi Sugar. I got a # of candi sugar, and when I opened it up, it looks like a a # of rock candy pebbles... Will these dissolve in the wort? Or should I chuck them into a pot of water and disolve them first, and then add...

Buckshot Brewery... Named after my horse. He likes beer.

To you guys that convert the chest freezers to keggerators... I normally serve my beers around 50degreesF Does the temp control in the freezer make it possible to set the temp that high? Or is there some sort of additional thermostat type stuff that you have to install? Thanks...

Cool, thanks. This clears it up a bit. I've got Palmer's book, I just haven't started reading it yet. Just finished The Brew Masters Bible, and started Tasting Beer by Mosher. Was gonna hit the Palmer book next. When I start something new, I tend to dive headfirst into the shallow end.

In figuring out IBU's for recipies... I've been using the formula on pg. 353 of The Brewmaster's Bible (oz's of Hops x AA x utilization / 7.25). Last night I downloaded Beer Smith, and have been punching in some of the stuff I've been working on, and quickly realized that it figures out the...
