I was originally thinking of just picking up some for folks around where I am to help with my costs to go up there. I will look into what it would take to ship because I have never shipped beer before. If you have any tips/advice, please let me know.

I'm thinking of doing a run to pick up some heady topper soon. I'll be leaving from the nyc, Fairfield county Connecticut area. Pm me if you are interested in me picking you up some.

Right before I vacuumed sealed them I smelled them and the strong oil smell has subdued to barely noticeable. But that strong hop aroma was also low probably because they set out all night. There might be some hope though. Not sure when I'll be able to boil some and taste but I'll report...

The bag they are in now is a trash bag that we transferred them to because we thought the original bag my have absorbed the solvent/oil smell. But the original bag wasn't much better. They came twist tied close so no vacuum seal. I thought that was strange myself. When I first heard he did...

So I bought 3lbs of Amarillo hops a few months ago and had them in a friends freezer. Well, he put an oil based paint roller in there and now I smell a petroleum smell when I smell in the bag. They shipped the hops in a bag that was only twist tied close. I was eventually going to vacuum...

Don't mean to hijack but in the spirit of keeping hops out of your plate chiller, where did you, marcb, and anyone else get your false bottom? I got a simple cheap one but it keeps moving on me allowing hops under it (basically a round plate with a lot of holes in it from homebrewing.org). I...

I may have an issue. Most of my slants started looking very good with nice creamy white yeast growth. But now most of them have seemed to get a little yeast down at the bottom of the agar-dme surface mixed in with the little bit of condensation. Well, this started fermenting and forming a...

So I made some slants at my friends house Saturday. After pressure cooking and the slants were cooled, we opened the caps and set them upside down on a paper towel while waiting to inoculate. I asked if he was worried about about infecting his pressure cooked, 100% sterile slants with the...

Thanks a lot for responding! That's the exact same agar I bought. Can you tell me your ratio of water, agar, and dme? I actually brought the dme to a boil only for a couple of seconds (to avoid break material) and then let it sit for only a few minutes while I got the agar weighed out. It...

Anybody?

Can you explain the reason you have it sized that way. I imagine due to your kettle? Also, is the other one shaped the same? If so, how are you going to fit them both in at once?

I mixed the agar DME solution up per the following proportions: 500ml water 1.5% agar powder (7.5g) 7% DME (35g) 1% yeast nutrient (5g) The above proportions and my process were from this thread (the yeast slant sticky). https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f163/slanting-yeast-133103/...

Read all of this thread: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f13/how-get-best-hop-aroma-flameout-additions-213803/ I like where you are going with your hop schedule. I do the same thing on my house IPA. I have 0.5 oz 60 minute addition then not another one until 20 minutes. I would also highly...

I live in Charlotte. Where did you move here from? What part of Charlotte do you live in? I am in South Charlotte just south of Ballantyne.

No problem as most of us know how it is (at least I do...times two). I am interested in your experiment because I have recently decided to give this a shot and need to know which one to go with.
