That looks great Senormac! Thank you for all the information on this thread! Those cones look huge! How big are they?

Nice work everybody! I didn't know we had such a strong home brew presence on here in northern Colorado! We should post our recipes of our beers we make with our home grown hops! Is anyone going to make a fresh hop beer? I'm thinking if I harvest enough I may try it, instead of drying them, but...

I'm up on Ft Collins and I have 6 first year plants, only 2 with cones. My LHBS suggested to pick towards end of September, when the cones start to get drier and not looking the best.

Thank you for your insight! So as I understand it, I should keep them growing as is until they stop growing and leaves start turning from their normal appearance? Then cut them 4-6 inches above crown in the ground?

Congratulations! Thats awesome!

Great thread and some beautiful hops! I've got 6 varieties growing really well, all in their first year. 3 from rhizomes (Cascade, Chinook, and Crystal) and 3 from small starters (Mt Hood, Nugget, and Willamette). Cones are growing on Nugget and Willamette. I'm curious, when the season ends...

I've got 5g of a spiced pumpkin ale. Since I'm aiming for a full conditioning time near Halloween, I'm going Ghostbusters with the name: Back Off Man, I'm a Scientist

Wow this looks delicious h-bar! I think I may give your recipe a go for my Christmas beer this year! I'm 3 brews into this, and I have a couple noob questions for you if you don't mind. What yeast did you pitch? What sanitization techniques, if any, did you use for the raspberries and vanilla...

Hi everyone, I'm happy to find this thread! I've been trying to find a Christmas beer to brew for this year's holiday season. I have been trying to find a partial mash/extract version of either a gingerbread brown ale and/or a Christmas spiced dunkel (maybe both, because: beer). If anyone has...

Way to go man! If you're like me, you are your harshest critic when it comes to something you've created, especially when you're new like we are at brewing. Just remember, you made beer! Brew on my friend!

Thank you Jtk78!! I already have brewed my second one last Saturday! This is getting more and more addicting!

Absolutely the hardest part! I'm going to give them at least 3-4 weeks before even looking at them, and more like 3-4 months for the true conditioning to begin on this Dubbel.

Thank you! My first was a Belgian Dubbel brewed on 7/9. I got a second fermenter and then brewed an IPA last Saturday. So now time is ticking for my 3rd (deciding between a porter and a pumpkin ale) since that Dubbel needs to condition for a while in the bottle. Oh the choices! What are you...

Congratulations on your first born! I actually just bottled my first beer tonight as well and I've been following this thread along the way. Cheers to your first brew and many more to come! This is addicting, isn't it?

Thank you guys for your help! I went with the middle of the road and went with 5 oz. Bottling was a success! Eeked out 52 bottles. And now...the wait!

Haha, for sure!! I'll make sure of it!

Sorry for the double post! Connection issues, the app says!

So going to the carb vol of 3.2 will be safe, thank you for your help! I will definitely let you know how it comes out!

Ahhh so I could go up to the 3.2 carb vol and be ok. Thank you! I definitely will let you know how it turns out!

Thank you for your insight! No need to go up from the 5oz saves me a trip to my LHBS!
