that sounds good, but I already added that grain to the hop garden, so now I need to correct the Acidic balace to get things right. I'll get a reading and then report on how the plants are doing.

I threw the mashed grain from a few of my batch's last year on to my hop garden thinking this would be a good way to compost the grain. I started talking to someone else who grows locally and he told me that doing this adds a lot of acid to the soil, and that it would need to be balanced out...

I found that this hop originated from the tettanger plant, and holds some of the same characteristics as Willamette, Styrian Golding and Funggle. notes of apricot can shine through. Looking at the beer styles brewed with the hops above, come down to european ales, and maybe even be good in...

Sounds good, I'll take that advice on the yeast, and I prime all my beers with dextrose, so nothing to worry there. I'll plan on bottling next week. I cant wait to enjoy this one come fall time.

I bought 2 oz of these hops from fresh hops and found that there is not much information on them. Has any one used these hops and if so in what style of brew? any info will help.

my 2009 double bock has been fermenting for close to six months now and is still showing signs of activity in the secondary. meaning there are still little air bubbles that are making it to the top of this beer. should I wait to bottle this or should I just bottle condition for the rest of the...

I decided that I will use only one once chinook @ 60 and see were that leaves me in my overall beer. It's a little to late for the grain bill though as i've already mixed the amounts together. This is my first belgian so I'm just going to have fun with it. brewing tomorow!! Peace, Zion Brewing:fro:

my recipes still need some work with the hops. I'm still trying to figure out the right amount of aroma and bitterness E get from certain hops. Never used them before and was just going to experiment some. This doesn't have to stay in any certain guidelines, I'm just trying to get the best beer...

I was on vacation in colorado for the winter and just got back last night. So I went to check my hops today and to my surprise my hops had little nubs starting to sprout. this should be a great year to grow!:fro:

that sounds like a great recipe. did you consider dry hoping in the secondary with some of those cascades. that might give this beer the fresh crisp hopy taste and aroma that you might bee looking for. and are you going to give your unmalted wheat a protein rest? That seems like a lot of...

you guys are awsome, I hope this beer goes well for you. Keep up the spirit of home brewing. there nothing big brewery's do that we cant. sweet. That is a huge grain bill$$$$

I went as light as I'm probably going to go with a beer, and the only reason is my uncle requested a lighter beer than I would usually doo. I've been experimenting with dubble lagers and chocolate beers. so this is a step away from that. not sure what you mean about the 90 min. boil, I doo this...
