Thanks, I guess that this accounts for variation in hop aroma for the same make/model of beer (Sculpin IPA).

Hi guys- I recently brewed an American Rye Pale Ale with all Rakau hops. I went crazy on the dry hops and did 4oz for 11 days. After 3 weeks of bottle conditioning the beer was perfect---when you cracked one it smelled like a hoppy tropical flower fruit bomb had exploded right in front of...

To me bananas and beer should be kept separate. I do not like bananas.

The posts are 20 foot long 2.5" sprinkler pipe, sunk about 5 feet deep in the ground with some Redi mix. The wire runs through some eyelets at the top, which are connected at the bottom by some little turnbuckles. The twine is tied and duct taped :fro: to the wire up top. 4 Chinook, 4...

I hope these guys will grow...

Update on this practice: It isn't that fast, the lids don't prevent the bottles from gassing off when you stick em in the hot wort, and you have to sit there with your lid open til the ice melts. I'm pretty sure this practice led to my other thread about my beer tasting like a skunks...

Really gross after 1 week in the primary and 3 in secondary. It tasted great when I racked it....now it is overly bitter with some astringency and grossness. To bottle or not to bottle?

Or yeast? http://img593.imageshack.us/i/img4172h.jpg/ Thanks for the help beer-bros:mug:

Yeast starters are scary to me.

Radical....Amarillo or Cascade. 1oz?

Hi all I boiled my first partial mash recipe a few days ago and was hoping to get your advice on what variety of hops to use for the dry hop once I rack it into the secondary....I love a hoppy aroma but haven't had time to smell all of the different varieties. I have 1oz of EK Goldings left over...
