Kevin, I'm able to hold my temps pretty good. I place my ales on the concrete basement floor. It holds them around 65. When I need to go colder I use my keggerator which has a temperature controller on it. That's a picture of my corona clone in the keggerator. I brewed it last week. My...

PJM, Charleston is kinda dry for draft beers. Soon there will be an English micro brew pub opening. I think next year is their plan. There was a blues BBQ downtown that had a huge selection of beers on tap but I'm pretty sure they are gone. I could be wrong. I usually have some home brews ready...

I've got one keggle I built. I use two 10 gal igloo coolers for HLT and MT. I've also get ten hops plants in their first year of growth with five varieties. I should get a good crop still. I've been working on my own IPA recipe which is my goal for this fall when the tap water cools a little...

Forddog I too am in charleston. I also just got a 50 pound bag of two row. I plan to brew up a lot of different batches to compare all the yeast I have in my yeast bank. I usually brew on Thursday's of Fridays since those are my days off. When do you brew? Where in charleston are you...

Love these games!

I'm not familiar with that one. We've only been here for a year and haven't traveled much around the local area.

I live 4 miles south of Walmart on 119. It's more like alum creek but zoned south charleston.

Metzger, I'll be brewing Friday as long as my yeast starters all look good. Your welcome to come over and hang out. Tim

I'm a first year grower but found quite a few bugs on my plants. I tried organocide which worked for most but caused some yellowing of the leaves in the places where it went on thicker. That stuff likes to separate from water. It did not take care of catapillars so I tried a new chemical. I got...

It's tempting to save one and see what it turns into.

Went to check on my babies again. So far they have been doing great only this time I found pests. I bought organicide a while back as a way to prevent this from happening but failed to notice that it doesn't cover caterpillars. What pesticide should I use that's still organic? I also found eggs...

Do you remember how high they were by may? I'm between 4 and 5 feet right now but they seem to have slowed a bit. I hope they are working on their roots. Do they keep climbing after summer solstice or just branch out then?

deer have no problems jumping 6 feet fences. I work at an airport with 12 foot deer proof fences but they still manage to get past them too! Tim

I'm in WV and I travel to KY to find dogfish head too. Sure is nice to know I'm not the only one who does that. Last time I cleaned out two stores of all dogfish and spent over $400. I told myself I needed more bottles anyway and dogfish are easy to remove.

This is a big year for me. My fourth since I started brewing and the one I decided to start all grain brewing and growing my own hops. I've always wanted to make my own beer from my own stuff but decided growing barley and malting it myself was too much. However, growing hops sounded easy. I...

I've heard there is a big get together somewhere in Logan county. I've not yet attended. I'm in Charleston. Tim

Charleston here. I've been washing and reusing my yeast with good success. I've got six different varieties on hand up to gen three. Tim

I live near corridor G and I've been brewing for three going on four years. This year I stepped up to kegging and all-grain brewing. I also planted ten hops plants five varieties. All my friends call me an addict or brew master but I've had no success in getting any of them into brewing...
