Good idea! As for price couldn't I wash the yeast and reuse?

Thanks again! I downloaded it now I just need to play with it.

Suhweet. I've been looking on craigslist but haven't been finding anything pop up. Also did you mean beersmith? I'm not finding a brew smith anywhere.

Oh hell now I'm never going to stop buying grain. I need a job to pay for my hobby. Seriously though, thanks this is awesome. I'm going to go buy it now.

Found a recipe on beersmith- The hops you are smelling are the citra. They have a very distinct smell. And I just realized this is a really old thread. sigh.

I knew the hops and grains had a large impact on aroma and flavoring as well as bittering. Out of all the different brewing ingredients hops are where I am most comfortable. I thought yeast basically had served a chemical purpose and didn't realize the impact could carry over to flavor...

I'm really new to brewing and went to my LHBS this week to pick up my next kit. The store clerk was awesome and helped explain yeast starters to me so that I could save money. We began discussing the affect the yeast has on beer. I realized for the first time that most of the beer I really...

Update- My hop babies all seem to be doing quite well from the transplant. Some of the leaves died off one of my plants but the stems are still green so I think they are ok just recovering a little.

When I named this the "Hee-man Women Hater's Club" from the little rascals popped into my head. I know there area few women out there. Yooper comes to mind in all her mod greatness. :) I did do a quick search to see if there were any threads on women brewers and saw 2. Interesting enough...

Awesome! I'm in. :)

Oops. Good to know in the future. Thanks for the heads up.

Are you in the mountains of Tennessee? Might make a difference.

I grew up in a farming community so I understand the work that goes into it. I don't have any kind of passion to be a corn, soy, etc farmer but these damn hops have invaded my soul. I was reading, "For the Love of Hops" and there was a quote in there that said something like once you've been...

Yep fall is a great time to plant. Think of it like planting tulip bulbs. Most people plant in the spring because that is when many growers take cuttings from their crown in preparation for next season.

My airlock had been quiet for 48 hours so I decided to check the gravity and it was right where it should be, so I decided to move my batch over to my secondary and add my dry hops. - Pics :) I'll leave it here for 10 days then add priming sugar and bottle/rack? I think? I haven't quite...

I have thrown around some ideas with my husband about starting a hop farm here in Indiana. Unfortunately, I don't already live on land where I could start this. I've not looked at farm land before but I'm told it's at a relatively high market price right now. I also want to do some...

Good to know. :) I'm glad you are enjoying it. I was worried I was that annoying newb. :) Maybe you need to take a mental health day and go whip up a batch. ;)

Thanks!

Ahh Good information. Thank you!

I didn't have to top it off I did a full boil. I think I figured out what was wrong. I didn't have it cooled to 60 degrees I only got to 68, which means I should have added to the number and then i'd be almost spot on. :)
