With proper sanitation practices you don't have to use either. I have one now that is 4 yrs old. When it comes to aging anything, sanitation is of the upmost importance. But oxidation is another enemy. Avoid oxygenating at all cost.

Lol, that Nugget is over 20 ft tall.

I'm having some crazy issues with my three year old plants. Cascade is about 16 ft with some sprouting cones. My Nugget is a beast. It has taken over 5 of 6 bines and is already producing nice cones. My Saaz that did virtually nothing but survive years 1 and 2, sprouted first this spring, then...

I really enjoy learning about your project. I look forward to hearing an update after it lagers and cold crashes.

Welcome to the madness we call a hobby from the Heart of Dixie, Alabama.

Welcome to the madness we call a hobby from Alabama. And you are in good hands here. We are all perfectly sane. At least that's what I keep telling myself.

Transferred my Murphy Brown Ale to a keg tonight.

1578 + 5 gal of Murphy Brown Ale = 1583

Brewed 5 gal of Murphy Brown Ale and carbonated my Old Glory American Wheat Beer. Shout out to @Sammy86 this beer turned out great. The added Citra Hops take it to the next level.

Welcome to the community

Thanks @Northern_Brewer. I have resolved to accepting that I am better off concentrating on proven strains that do well in my area. My Saaz has simply died here at my home and out at my other location Fuggels and Hallertau have also died. Cascades do thrive and produce hops but the Nuggets are...

I kegged my Old Glory American Wheat beer. I basically brewed @Sammy86 's recipe with the exception of adding 2 oz of Citra Hops at the last 15 and 5 minute marks. Smells and taste great. Can't wait to enjoy this one.

It is only May and I getting concerned about the possibility of some of my hops reaching the top trellis bar and wrapping around it. That would make harvesting difficult as it would interfer with letting it down when the time comes.

I too like BrewMatrix., IMO it covers the experiment very well.

Lol @mac_1103 you are probably right about that 50%. There sure are a lot of budlite drinkers out there not to mention the rest of the lame American mass produced so called beers.

I finally finished my back bar today. Now it's time to enjoy it.

I can't seem to get good results from any other variety than nuggets. While I do get a small amount of cones from cascade and Columbus they produce very little in comparison to nuggets. I had a 3 yr old Saaz at home to come up first this year but it simply fizzled out and died. As a result here...

@hilljack13 Maibock is one of my favorite styles to brew. Patients grasshopper, patients is the phrase I always employ when making a Maibock and or Octoberfest but it is so well worth it. I still do them old school, triple decoction mash, true to style ingredients, 6 to 8 weeks of lagering and...

Interesting experiences here. I stopped bottling in the late 90s. I bottled for the first few years of home brewing but once I obtained the necessary equipment to do closed system transfers I only keg mine. I have a good counter pressure bottle filler but I haven't used since I perfected...

1425 + 5 = 1430 Brewed @Sammy86 's Old Glory American Wheat. Can't wait to enjoy this one. Thanks Sammy I'll post results once it is finished fermenting.
