thanks for the help. I just came up with a trellis that will be both space efficient and help separate the 4 types of hops that I am planning on growing. I'm going to run a vertical type trellis were I will plant two rhizomes of cascade and two rhizomes of magnum at equal distances, hopefully...

becouse they intertwine? I was just reading a scrip at freshops and they also sugest that you use only one variety per trelis, this must be why.

just wondering if you guys water through the night with a slow drip watering system? I work all through the day so this would be my best bet to keep them wet until I get home.

I'm planning on building a hop Tee P with a variety of plants; Cascade, nugget, crystal and magnum. Will these plants work good together, or is there something that I should know about growing different variety's together. I live in northern Indiana and our climate is pretty humid and...

I'm planning on brewing my first IPA tomorow and was wondering if anyone could give me some good tips, anything will work. I' useing centennial hops whole flower. I was going to encorporate some pacific gems, but I'm not sure if this is a good idea? using victory gold barley, some second row...

I Need to know if after I added fruit to my apfelwein the 3 day of fermenting if I will need to transfer to a secondary or can I let the fruit sit for a month? Thanks for any help. Primary: Wisemen Winter Whit; Pomegranate Apfelwein Bottled: Knight-N-Gale Ale

so I made this pomegranate Apfelwein and let it sit for two days until the fermentation really took off. Then I added one whole pomegranate fruit and the action just took off and the fermentation just went crazy!! So now I'll let it sit for a month or so. I just want to know though if I should...

A nice little nap, Sweet, Thanks for the help!

Is It too late to warm them up after a week of sitting in the cold, or will they still carb?

No Secondary, I kept the beer In my primary for five weeks though, due to problems getting a capper in time. Yeah the caps are on tight. I just read some where that you don't want to introduce oxygen into the beer before bottling, and to be careful of splashing and stirring when adding priming...

I got mine in the basement of my house and it gets to temps around 40* if not a little colder, will I still get carbonation if I leave it down there for a month or two, Or should I bring them Into the house. Thanks for the Tip, I though after bottled the temp didn't matter.

I use Brown sugar to prime my beer, 5oz for a 4 gal batch. This is my first batch that I've ever done, so I wanted to open a bottle after a week of carbing in the bottles. The color is nice,though a little cloudy, but tastes great! The only thing is there is no head to the beer and little...
