Should i cut of the dying tip?

And now the tip is darkening and shriveling on my sterling. The rhizome was the last syerling the shop had and it was like an inch and a half long at most - so it only put off one shoot. I have it in a pot till i was going to transplant when i move back home for the summer. It is still pretty...

About 2 weeks or so.

I've read a lot of people talk about the hop flavor decreasing after a short while in the bottle. I just sampled one thats been in the bottle for only 4 days and it was amazing. Everything about it was perfect for me (except carbonation level) . I have some friends back home (im away at...

I have a magnum in a container that has a bunch of single and double pointed leaves. I just now checked it and its biggest leaf has four distinct points.

I have been doing a lot of reading on HBT for a while and a lot of people on here are doing longer primary only fermentations instead of the whole primary to secondary blah blah. I was wondering if those who go primary only take any measures to reduce the amount of break material that gets into...

Does anybody know how far pollen from a male(obviously) hop plant can travel. I have 5 varieties of rhizomes planted at my house and i also have about 50 or more seeds in my fridge - and want to plant those when they sprout. I just wanted to know about how far away i should plant the seeds that...

What i was worried about was really the starches from the vienna making it cloudy and i also hear that starchy beer is more prone to infection. But since it was only half a pounf hopefully there wont be a problem there. And yes i did sparge. Pray to he beer gods for me, that my beer taste good...

Shoot. I should have checked this before i bought my hops. Anyways, i just added the 1 oz cascade pellets and the beer smelled fanfreakin tastic. Hopefully it wont oxidize since i had to lift the lid off the bucket.

Yeah my timing on the hops was a little weird because i used a lhb website to look at hops and their AA levels - wrote out my recipe for those levels. But when i picked up the hops and got home i noticed all their AA's were WAY higher than quoted online. So i shuffeled all the timings around...

8.5 # light lme 1 # us crystal 40 0.5 lbs Vienna malt and an uber complicated hop schedule - I punched this in to a ibu calc and came out with 62 IBU's. Magnum hops 17% AA - 1oz @60, 0.25oz @30, 0.5oz @5 Cascade hops 8.6% AA - 0.5oz @20, 1oz @10, 0.5oz @5 Amarillo hops 11.2% AA - 0.5oz @2...

I have the water level below the fermometer and left exactly enough room for two water bottles to be placed in the water - with the two bottles the water is almost almost touching it.

Safale-05. Probably overkill but i used 2 packets for am OG of 1.062.

I forgot to mention that the fermenter is a plastic bucket. Not sure if thats relavent to temp readings.

I have an ipa in its third day of fermentation right now and ive been struggling to keep the temps.down on it. The fermometer on the the side has been reading a pretty constant 70-ish. I have it in a water bath that i was going to add frozen water bottles to, but for some reason my freezer will...

Scratch that - it had a long shoot. I just looked at it again and noticed that the shoot was wobbly and saw that the shoot was broken about 50% through the middle. Should i plant anyways?

Hey, i just picked up a magnum and a sterling from a lhbs and am going to plant in planters until i take them home. I was wondering, there is a really long shoot on the sterling (straightened out it would be ~6") so how should i plant this? Should i just plant the rhizome 2" down and leave the...

Im going to plant some rhizomes in planters, until i can take them to their grow spot in a few weeks. So i bought a 6" and a 8" planter and some cheap potting soil. Will this suffice? One of the rhizomes was really tiny like 3" long. So thatl go in the 6 inch.

Wow. Hope! Sorry about not posting on the hop growing foeum, i figured id get faster answers on the beginners forum. Will post over there with future questions. Ive already got a few down in the ground back home (oregon coast) but i wanted to get a couple more varietals going as well. But im not...

Ive read online that you should plant no later than may. I take this to mean may first. But am hoping it means no later than any time in may = may 15th or so. So which is it? Any time in may or at the beginning of may?
