I LOVE Spain. My mom is from Alcaniz. Still have relatives there, Zaragoza and Canada de verich. Beautiful country can't wait to go back. Welcome:mug:

I'll be using sanke kegs for the time being. I have a 1/2 bbl 2 1/4bbl and 1 1/6 bbl to use until I can pick up some cornies. My folks just bought a place and they were siting in the basement. But I will also more than likely be using picnic taps until I can fab up something else.:drunk:

Yeah I know...The only local shop is wine oriented, and they think that because they carry a small amount of beer supplies they can charge outrageous prices...well...they got my money. I wasn't about to drive to anchorage (1hr each way) for $3 per oz. hijack over, sorry bytemyfoot.

Didn't really need convincing. I don't really ask for much and I think she can see how much I enjoy good beer. That and I think she is tired of me cluttering up the pantry with empty bottles to fill;)

Just finished a Stone Ruination...First one...AWESOME. Now I'm on Moose Drool brown ale.:mug:

If I pick a spot that only gets light for part of the day that might help trigger the production...maybe:confused:

Joe, I'm 61.5N, but I'm definitely going to give it a try next summer. The worst thing that could happen is I'll be out 20 bucks for a few rhizomes. Thanks for the response, and I'll post up any progress/success with the growing next year:D

I'm trying to find a decent selection of hops to grow in south central Alaska (Big Lake.) 4-5 month growing season 50-75 degree temps, lots of daylight. I am a proficient gardener so the plants themselves shouldn't be a problem, but what strains would give me the best crop in this short...

Thanks a bunch for the replies. I should have said re-hydrated nottingham, not starter...don't know what I was thinking. Anyhow it's downstairs bubbling away. Smells fantastic. BTW Big Lake is still a lot of fun!! :rockin:

First off. Hello everyone. This is my first post, but I've been lurking for a while now. This is my second attempt at making beer. My first attempt was a horrible failure. It was just plain nasty. Coopers IPA with 3# amber DME and 3# dextrose. Took questionable advice and as it turns out I...
