If you plant two rhizomes in each pot (or close together in the ground) and both grow, they won't become one plant. They'll be two plants too close together and will compete for resources. You'll only let 2-3 bines grow per plant one they get going, anyway. I'd just plant one per pot/hill.

I live in Utah and a couple of years I've been to busy and didn't water my hops. They did fine (I didn't get as many hops, but they still grew).

A number of people have pointed out that this would be a good candidate for distilling, but the recipe doesn't call for distilling. I think this is a recipe for beer. I know we now usually try to keep simple sugars low and malt content high. But this recipe is similar to other recipes for beer...

six of one = half dozen of the other I started with pin locks because of a sale where they were $17 each, so I bought 2 (I know, but at the time, I thought 2 was a big number). I bought more on sale later (but never @17). Now that I have pin locks, I have pin locks.

You can, but that doesn't necessarily mean you should. There are a lot of variables, like how much yeast is used, the temperature, etc that can ferment a batch faster. I suspect the "large cake" of yeast in the recipe probably has enough to do the job quickly.

The hops are in the extract.

Beersmith is a tool, but it's not perfect.

Ok. I'd probably make better beer if I paid as much attention to detail as you do. I make good beer. I should probably try to make great beer. Kudos. In case it's not obvious, I'm not being sarcastic. I think my beers are fine, but yours are probably better.

I usually use US-05 or Nottingham at the low end of the temperature range. Nottingham is supposedly an English yeast, but it ferments cleanly at low temperatures.

Oxiclean is a cleaner, not a sanitizer. It has the same (or similar) ingredients as one step (which is no longer allowed to be labeled as a sanitizer but was for years) and easy clean (another oxygen cleaner). Theoretically, it could work. What concentration would be sufficient for sanitizing...

It doesn't need to be so confusing. I pitch an 11 g packet of yeast for a 5 gallon batch and get beer.

Keep two to three bines per crown. To be honest, three is pushing it. Maybe try two with two and two with three and see which works better.

I wish I had read that article about bull shoots a week ago. Thanks.

This is just a semi-educated guess, but my guess is that the Fletcher's Malt is a hopped malt extract. A number of breweries sold extract in the baking section of grocery stores during prohibition. If you sent a letter to the address on the label, they'd send you a recipe booklet. Then a short...

The Mash & Boil or the Robobrew should work. The M&B has 1600 watts and the robobrew has 1500 watts, so they can take a while to come to boiling. The robobrew is a bit more expensive, but it includes a chiller. I think there's also a version of the robobrew that includes a recirculating pump...

I've always brewed indoors for a variety of reasons. I've mostly done extract and partial mashes, adding most (or all) of the extract at the end. I wasn't doing full volume boils, but I probably could have done them if I had split the batch into multiple pots. I'd usually chill by putting the...

I've been brewing for almost 10 years and haven't done a secondary. I don't think many people use a secondary these days except for really big beers and/or bears that need a really long time to ferment. I'm pretty sure the default dry yeast for that is US-05. US-05 usually does a pretty decent...
