thanks guys.

I just bough some used brewing equipment from a guy on craigslist. it came with a 6 and 5gal. glass carboys. should i use the same size carboy when fermenting or could i use the different sizes during the 1st and 2nd stages.

there are so many good ones out there. since you are limiting me to 3. Surly Furious Hercules DIPA Lagunitas Maximus

I think it would have to be Surly Furious.

Nice. cant wait. thanks for all the input guys.

awesome. hopefully it works out. where do you guys buy rhizomes in the spring.

so could i grow them indoors in the late winter and transplant them in the spring.

So i'm planning on growing hops this spring. maybe get them starting inside this winter. My question is, Is there a species of hops that can withstand cold weather climates (zone 3)? Last winter we saw temps about -40. my dad grows grapes and it killed off all his plants.

Cant wait to start growing next year.

You don't have any Homebrew stores down there. im guessing then you do alot of online shopping. us Minnesotans know how to do it i guess. :mug:

Thanks ill have to check it out then.

i actually live closer to Stillwater then St. paul

awesome. Yeah i check out the store yesterday. it pretty obvious that i need to do a little research before i drive right in. like the different equipment. and different stages of brewing.

Hey guys. my name is Eric. I live in Minnesota. Im looking to get in the home brewing. Its pretty much all new to this. I'm looking to get to know the ins and out of starting a home brewed beer.
