    Pictures of your Hop Babies/Hop Photo Thread

    Love it, dude! I'm a first-time hop-grower this year, and I'll be keeping a keen eye on any posts of yours...because I got 6 rhizomes to start; 3 williamette, and 3 cascade! :mug: (I'm living in an apartment with no garden space, so I'm utilizing my parents' garden near their deck where a...

    Anyone else oder rhizomes from Northern Brewer?

    I received mine today...same thing. The only benefit I can see is I ordered mine with another order, so shipping was essentially free (only one charge for two actual "shipments" of goods). Still, I ordered a total of 12 rhizomes with a friend and they made out like a bandit if thats the...

    Do these look crushed enough?

    fix your links...you have backslashes in there separating the folder & filename but you need forward slashes as for the pics themselves, i'm no crushed grain expert (Still extract brewing...) but those hardly look touched, IMO

    My Hombrewing article from Wed

    Congrats chris! You were the talk at my office today (we're 30+ electrical engineers)...that partial photo of your basement left me jealous and counting down the days to buying my own house where the basement can be an all-grain paradise (currently only 25 years old.) Keep up the good work and...

    Brewing IPA's with fruit? any suggestions

    *ahem*...gentlemen...are we not forgetting Aprihop?? http://www.dogfish.com/brewings/Seasonal_Beers/Aprihop/14/index.htm Its a delicious fruit IPA...almost more like an american pale ale (sierra nevada) in terms of not-too-crazy hoppiness, but the fruit is also subtle and the pairing is...

    (Basic How To) Hard Cider Thread

    I just wanted to chime in that I've always loved that quote from flanders! :D (and since its topical, i'm making edwort's apfelwein as well; i used a champagne yeast and man did that ferment *dry*...tasted a sample last night after 3 weeks in primary and its already fermented down to 1.000...

    Raspberry Juice

    the cherry extract doesn't have fermentable sugars so you still need the 5 oz of corn sugar for priming

    Had an article written about the label I did for olllllo...

    The layout of the article's real nice...it made the cover of the D section, "People"...the pic of you & your little assistant brewer made front page, as did that sweet IPA label. If I were you, I'd be taking my lunchbreak at work to go home and frame the article! ;)

    Had an article written about the label I did for olllllo...

    just came in here to mention homebrewtalk.com's big mention in the local rag here in west chester, pa (The Daily Local News)...had the printed version handed to me by a coworker who knows I talk nothing but homebrew lately...then I thought about it said "I wonder if this was the brewer I heard...

    overly sweet brew?

    thanks for the tips guys...after reading Brew Chem 101, my main theory was the lack of isomerization in the hops. I admittedly threw the finishing hops in too late on the amber ale I already drank (as in, just after the boil finished instead of 5 minutes left), so that was always theory #1...

    overly sweet brew?

    Hi all...first post so bear with me... I've made two brews, one bottled (and almost completely finished by now), and another I bottled last night. The first was an extract kit, "amber waves", for obviously an amber ale. No big deal there; 6.6 lbs of liquid extract, 2.5 gallon partial...
