usually the lower the number in these times means the closer to flame out
so 2oz of hops at 60 means begining of a boil
and 1tsp of "XXX" at 3 means it goes in 3 mins before the boil is done.
Im chiming in for Hops Direct. Their shipping might be slower but I prefer their packaging over fresh hops. Nitrogen sealed mylar bag over a foodsaver bag.
Im sure quality is superior on both fronts, I just gotta show love for my HD people lol.
well guys im going with ESB
and got some new malts today :)
NEW GRAINS
====================
Vienna 2lbs
Special B 1lb
Gambrinus Honey Malt 2lbs
Im looking for a huge malt backbone
I also got some 1028 London Ale
So Im stuck in a rut been brewing APA's IPA's, Porters and a Irish Red Ale.
dont know what to make so here are my ingredients
(Im not opposed to buying some more speciality grains)
Grains/adjuncts
===============================
Rahr 2 row
Roasted Barley
Crystal Malt 40L
Carahell...
I always wanted to know the fuel costs lol.
but yea once you buy in bulk it starts getting uber cheap
im at $0.48a lb for grain though
roughly 4 bucks maybe less for hops.
But yeah the savings you might get from brewing pale in comparison to what you actually created. And the fact...
I think its fair that hop croppers can finally flip a profit. Hops Direct has superior quality and have been ordering from over the this and last year.
