Someone on reddit recommended this site but not sure shipping or know anything about them: http://w.ivenue.com/corporatediscountbooks2/ecommerce/brewing-science/technology-brewing-and-malting-5th-english-edition.html Another site in thread had a German website with it for ~$235 shipped. I might...

I used their website form to contact. He bought it at an auction. Googling around his phone number now to find out his name and seeing that same name attached to a Zymatic thread on Homebrewers Association forum, it appears it's the same guy who couldn't register because they said it was bought...

Anyone know how much a new Step Filter would cost?I emailed the company and haven't heard back after several days. I've been toying around with the idea of getting one and found someone looking to sell a never used Zymatic fairly cheap but that part is broken apparently and doesn't think they'd...

Hey FatDragon! How are the Chinese hops? It's hard to find any info on them. My friends actually are part owners of Devil's Brewery in Wuhan and I'm going to visit them next month! I recently left my brewing gig at Alaskan and they're trying to convince me to move there but I don't think I could...

Yep, it's OpenCourseWare

Not brewing... but some might be interested in this class that just started: HarvardX: Science & Cooking: From Haute Cuisine to Soft Matter Science Coursera has some pretty cool courses too.

I came across this clone recipe yesterday and supposedly the malt bill is just pale malt and sugar according to an e-mail to Mitch Steele.

If you read the page it's for ordering testing kits. They mail you a testing kit and it includes a postage paid label to send in the sample. You can still submit a sample the old way though.

He's talking about the in-store sale. They have a sale where everything is at least 15% off on the first Saturday in Dec.

I'm usually disappointed by a lot of Stone's specialty stuff so I passed on a pint when I saw it on the menu at a bar during GABF week in Denver... then I tried a sample at the booth and was really impressed. One of the best IIPA's I've had in a really long time.

http://www.agile-fx.com/ is where I got mine last time... but these capsules sounds interesting.

:D I've never tried to grow any. Everyone I know who has tried here has never produced much of anything so it just didn't seem very worth the time and effort.

There's a description here from Hop Steiner: http://www.hopsteiner.de/pdf/neuigkeiten-berichte/hopsteiner-newsletter/2012-05_ts_newhopvarietiesgrowningermany.pdf I haven't really heard about anyone brewing with them yet though... with that oil content I'd be curious what it's like by itself and...

Patents and the like are basically meaningless in this case. Hop Breeding Company is a private company, and like say the recipe for Coca-Cola, they're under no obligation to share rhizomes or anything and can protect Citra as long as they want by growing it on only the farms they own/contract.
