I bottled 5 glns already today and opened this one to bottle/rack. I'm terrified to consider that wet hoping caused this. I use Star san and washed out with hot water and soap every time I use this bucket before and after. Have any of you ever seen a film like this before? Is it safe to...

Thank you. I put them in a bit of vodka just to be on the safe side and dropped them in this morning.

Wondering if anyone has any experience or advice wet hoping with freshly picked hops. soak in vodka first to kill the baddies? Blanch? what should I do to kill any bad stuff on them? thanks.

I roasted pumpkin seeds on Sat. They taste great and I thought they would add alot of flavor if they dont impart some screwed up protein or something else. Have any of you ever used toasted/roasted seeds in the mash? Thoughts?

I'm interested in this too. I went to the grocery tonight and found some red oak slabs that are used to grill steaks on evidently. It was on sale and figured I could give it a try. Its red toasted oak.
