oak cubes? I would check the flavor once a week at most. Cubes impart oak flavor slower than chips, but 3 months seems like way too long to me.

I haven't had a hobo burning party in ages.

I found some Mexican coke too, and all it did was give me a nosebleed and made me act like a huge *********. So really the only difference from normal is I got a nosebleed.

Yes, that's what most people do. Hops aren't delicate little things that will spoil within moments of picking. Just dry them and vacuum seal them and they'll store for a long time. Keeping them in the freezer prolongs their shelf life. I've had some hops in the freezer over a year that were...

OK I gotta admit that's the first "bud = urine" joke I've actually laughed out loud at. Well done.

Out of the two, I would pick a garbage can over a plastic storage bin. They have a big taproot and spread all the way down that. A third year I would say a 13 gallon garbage can at the smallest.

The first year I did hops I used 5 gallon buckets and left them on the driveway. They were root bound the first year. In fact, one even grew a taproot into a crack that was in the driveway! So definitely don't go smaller than 5 gallon.

Yep, mine are starting to poke up as well.

Around here, I bet they're Cascade hops since they're one of the most popular. "Northwest" hops are generally any that start with C, like Columbus, Cascade, Chinook, Centennial, etc. If you leave the root ball as it is, you'll get a lot of cones this year. If you cut it up it will be just like...

Also, don't bother looking for seeds, those are only for hop breeders, which is a very small market. Root cuttings called rhizomes are what we use for planting hops. The rhizome season is almost over, or is already over for this year for most nurseries.

Welcome to your doom! :D

It appears that the most users online at once record has been broken once again! Most users ever online was 1,650, 03-01-2010 at 11:25 AM. OK what was going on that day that I missed?

Just leave em outside as if they were in the ground. If you're worried about it moving them into an unheated garage will work too. Don't move them inside, it'll stay too warm.

I've never used sorghum, but the acrospire is removed from barley, I would assume you'd do the same thing with sorghum and buckwheat.

I would think a fan would blow germs back into the bottles.

I use one of these; If you're still set on using an ignitor go ahead, but use one of those in the meantime to keep your eyebrows intact.

Oh. Well I only get basic cable, so I've never heard of the show.

OK somebody want to enlighten me as to what SoA stands for?

Dude, I know not everyone is a fan of the Seahawks, but to call it creepy is just going overboard.

I lol'd. a lot.
