$65 for Rahr 2-row at my LHBS... robbery. I just got a #7 Barley Crusher for Christmas and I'm itching to use it! I'd rather order from Northern Brewer for $68 (including shipping) and not have to drive an hour round trip. It's a little depressing. Is there really nowhere else on the...

I'm a first year grower too, but I'd say that yours look a little 'undercooked' - i'd leave them on the vine for a while longer. I made the mistake of harvesting too soon - only a few ounces dry, but still might have been a waste. Mine do have a great cascade smell when they're crushed up in...

I have a first year Tett in a container that's just starting to get burrs - probably about 15ft (hit the roof, so I don't really know). It was definitely the slowest out of the three varieties that I'm growing (the other two are Cascade and Centennial). The other plants are covered with...

Nottingham - actually my first time using dry yeast too. Sprinkled into the fermenter. I have stirplate and flasks on hand from previous experiments, but I was under the impression that sprinkling was fine for a 5gal batch. The beer pours crystal clear, which is why the taste concerns me a...
