Since this is in the hop growing forum, i'm assuming you're looking for rhizomes. My understanding is that Simcoe is a proprietary hybrid, and only licensed growers can grow it. Which means no rhizomes for us!

Unintentionally, 3 gallons. Turned out great (and it was an IPA)

This grain was from Morebeer, though i have gotten NB grain that looked like this as well (and not too long ago).

Well i had been on the fence whether i wanted to get my own mill or not, i think that seals the deal. Thanks for the input guys!

Hey Guys, I've periodically been running into efficiency issues, and while i have it almost under control, i'm still coming in 0.010 or so below where i should be for my pre-boil gravity, and in turn my starting gravity. There are only a few things left to try, but one thing i'm not sure of...

I think that will work out perfectly, thanks.

Thanks for the responses guys, sounds like i should just let them do their thing. I'm assuming that i should have a separate string for each bine, or are they not going to get dense enough to warrant that?

Hello everyone, So i planted my first hops this season, 4 varieties with 2 rhizomes each. I didn't have a planter or anything to put them in, so i just grabbed the biggest pots that home depot had. The question is that since i'm a little confined on root space, should i let the multiple...

Hey Guys, I did a variant on this one before, but ran into severe efficiency issues, so now that i think i have those worked out, i tweaked it and would like to try it again. Let me know what you think, or what you'd change. 15 lbs Pale 8 oz Carafa III 1 lb Crystal 60 8 oz Chocolate 2...

Ok, i've updated the recipe based on all of your suggestions, here's the updated version: 12 lbs 2-Row .75 lbs Crystal 40 Mash 60 min @ 151 F 60 Minute Boil: 1 oz Warrior @ 60min 0.5 oz Citra @ 15 min 0.5 oz Amarillo @ 15 min 0.5 oz Citra @ 5 min 0.5 oz Warrior @ 5 min 0.5 oz Amarillo @ 5...

New IPA recipe, but i'm having a really hard time sorting out my hop additions. How do you guys think this looks? I'm looking for a pretty hop-forward IPA, not too malty. All Grain Recipe: 12 lbs 2-Row 1 lbs Crystal 40 1 lbs Cara-Pils/Dextrine Mash 60 min @ 154 F 60 Minute Boil...

The last time i measured it, it was somewhere around 2.5 gallons below the FB. I will do a more accurate measurement to see how much it actually is. As of right now the FB is pretty much as low as it can go, as it's a pretty wide pot and the spigot is also as low as it should have been put...

I don't have the recipe in front of me, but it was a little over 20 pounds of grain total, 15 of pale malt, the rest a mix of roasted barley, carafa ii, and chocolate malt. I have two separate thermometers that seem to be pretty accurate (one in the MLT, one loose one). My hydrometer is...

So, it seems like anyone you ask has a different answer for how to brew all-grain, so i figured i'll post what i'm doing, and you guys can tell me what i'm doing wrong. I know a lot of steps will vary depending on the type of beer, for reference in this post i'm referring to an imperial stout i...

Hello all, I recently brewed a Saison that i was planning on splitting up and doing secondaries with Brett, Lacto, and Brett+Lacto. Unfortunately, i didn't plan very well and ended up with the wrong stoppers for my small secondaries, so i had to postpone transferring to secondary for about 2...
