my Chinook are getting close i think. i honestly didnt expect much the first year, but i seem to have alot of cones. this thread was great, i have been wondering what to look for when they would be ready.

thanks a ton for that write up. when i get home this afternoon i'll take a closer look at them, and hopefully get them working again!

bump...no one?

Last sunday i hook up a new keg, i have about 10lbs in my 20lb CO2 tank. i come home from work monday and my tank is empty. i have some new kegs, and i figure the new keg has a leak. get the tank filled and yesterday and today i've been fighting weird things. i have 4 regulators in a row...

I love Chinook in my IPA's and PA. so much in fact i have a very nice first year Chinook plant in the back yard! it maybe falling out of favor with some micro's, but it could be more are wanting to try newer hops.

not sure if this in the right section or not, but here it goes. get home from work yesterday, haven't looked at my Chinook plant in a while, first year plant, its huge and really taken off...i have cones! i'm happy, life is good. go in the basement, pour myself a pint of beer. wash the car...

if you were close to Louisville i'd give you boxes full. i've switched to kegging in the last few months and have a ton of bottles in boxes sitting in the basement.

i dont think you'll risk fruity notes at this point. i do that to beers i have a problem finsihing where i want. i think once your 48-72 past pitching, most of the fermenting is done, its just the last few points and raising the temp shouldn't be an issue.

love pandora, dont know if i'd hit 40 hours a month. at most i use it 2 hours a day while at work. i also use slacker too.

I bought IPA kit from AHBS had a few oz's of Special B in it. at work so i dont have the recipe handy. it turned out pretty good, but it was also my first All-grain.

Speed use to cover rally racing alot (i think they went by another name, can't remember what speed use to be called). i use to watch it all the time, but now they do mostly show left hand turn driving series, oh well. i think ESPN X-games has rally now, but that's once a year.

you can also buy special caps to help keep your bottled beer from oxidizing. they are not much more then regular caps.

i have it on tap right now, its an awesome beer.

i've brewed it 3 times now, great beer. its one where BMC people will try and probably like. i like using liquid Cali ale yeast, its low in IBU's & %ABV and is great for washing. i try to keep it on one of the 4 taps.

cool. i'll do that this weekend, thank you.

brewed this weekend, and it was just hot out. while cooling down my wort, it pretty much just stuck at 80 degrees. put it in the carboy, stuck it in the basement until it got down to where i wanted it then pitched. question is, i made this 3/8" chiller back when i did extract, and its...

I really like Mad Anthony's, I grew up about 30-40 miles north of Fort Wayne, everytime i'm up seeing my parents we stop by for a few there. I really like their Old Woody Pale Ale, IPA and my new favorite is their West Cost Amber. ok so that was off topic some.

i use beersmith as well, if i take any recipe and enter it in, i get a different value for IBU. there are a few different formulas out there for figuring IBU's, i think you can pick in beersmith what formula you want to use. i say brew it how it was shipped, and decide after drinking...

i dont really have a brewery name, never put that much thought into it. the beers...when i first brew it, it'll be something like APA #1. if it turns out well, then i'll name it, if not, then i'll change the recipe a little or just toss it in general, and called it APA #2 and so on until i...
