I am no expert, but it looks like it could be a wild grape plant. Edit: Actually, I've changed my mind; it doesn't look much like a wild grape vine at all.

Actually, I think you are exactly right. The malt was suppose to be a gallon's worth. The sweetness seemed too low, so I boiled it down till it seemed right. I guess the other 75% were unconverted starches... haha oh well. I sampled it last night and it is tasting great. Too bad it looks so weird.

The krausen rose up last night and has settled a bit. It is very hazy and white. I wonder if it will clear with time....

Here it was last night: (Yes, I slept with it next to me)

It's no joke; well not intentional anyway :D Further, I reckon there'll be two bottles! The trub is starting to set and the beer behind it is the whitest I've ever seen. Very interesting at this point.... very interesting indeed.... :pipe:

I just pitched the yeast, let's see what happens next... :pipe:

So, I am new to brewing and originally wanted to make a Hoeegarden clone. But being a mad scientist and all, I couldn't just do something like that. :rockin: I tried to make my own malt, but it got a little bit of a sour taste. :drunk: I had wanted to do a gallon brew, but my efficiency is...

I am interested in buying rare rhizomes with unique attributes. At the moment, Teamaker, Comet and Sunshine are of interest to me. Any that are special in some way and rare, I would be interested in. I will pay premium and need international shipping. Payment will be through direct deposit or...

Actually, you could simply use your female plants for pollination. Spraying a water solution with fifty parts per million or so of gibberellic acid and shading the plants should make your females produce some male flowers. Or not. I'm just guessing at it.

Good point; I guess it would take a lot of refining to get back to the mother plant. Actually, it isn't the growing from seed that I am interested in; it is what is growing. If there were a grouping of seeds all together, it would seem more likely to be from a nearby hermy than from a rogue...

I have heard of people finding seeds in their Amarillo and such; why doesn't anyone grow them out? I have been reading countless threads where people ask for these rhizomes and are always told it is impossible. Here is an idea; order some leaf hops and grow any stray seeds you find. I'm just...
