thanks. I hope it turns out as nice as yours! How do you remove that folding shelf by the butter tray? I don't want to hurt the insides.

I picked her up on Saturday... quite the ordeal to get her home though. They're heavier than they look. It's a 1947 GE. Seems to works pretty well still. A little beat up, but not bad over all. I'm going to order a Johnson Controller for it and hope to use it next month on my next batch...

Everything is growing nicely. My williamette took forever to come up, but it's there now. Only the one so far big enough to climb. but very happy.

looks almost new! I'm on the hunt for one or an old fridge. That one is a true find.

that's an amazing looking freezer!

LOL. yes I'm familar with plastic buckets. It would also make them easier to dry.

So as I'm trying to clean out the tiny bits left over at the top of my 6 gallon carboy, it occurs to me.... Why don't they make one that's easy to clean? Does anyone make a 5 or 6 gallon carboy like they make a flip top jar? I see it as a big 5 gallon jar with a metal piece that runs...

dirt filled and already little hops finding a new happy home.

that's a good idea. But how far down does the divider need to go? The open box is only a foot tall... Yes one in the tall box and two in the long box. I have to work fast as the plants are already growing and I have to get them out of the little planter I put them in to hold them till I...

Just set up my little hop garden. Planting tonight hopfully.

I got a Willamette, Cascade, and Columbus. Really looking forward to seeing these grow.

Well last week and I got three varieties of hops. I put them in a small planter for now but needed to make them a place to grow. Yesterday I stopped at Lowes and bought some redwood fencing and a plank of redwood to make two planters and a trellis. I made a short planter for two of the...

I have a stainless one from midwest I think on sale during xmas, and I've just used it once so far, but I didn't have any issues with it and it was so much better than cooling with ice in a tub like I did my first time.

didn't come with any dry hops on this one

it's the kit from morebeer "columbus" ipa. I'll let it sit a few more weeks

Well it's week two now. Was doing a healthy 1 buble a second last week, Monday I was doing about 1 every 5 seconds, today it's doing 1 every 10 seconds. Think I should bottle this weekend?

would a piece of foil between the pot and flame help?

thanks everyone I think I'll just let it bubble away till three weeks are up. The recipe didn't call for dry hopping so it will just go straight to bottling.

My IPA will be going on day 7 tomorrow and it's bubbling nicely. Do I bother to Rack to a 5 gal carboy or do I just leave it in there and for how long? Three weeks? then bottle? My last batch (brown) I did two weeks then racked to a secondary. Thoughts?

So I'm looking for a place to put my 6 gal carboy when it ferments and have a few ideas. One is a wine cooler. I think I need to get like a 40+ bottle one to hold the size of the carboy. But it's limited as to how cold it can get if I decide to do other than ales. the other is the...
