I bottle condition in 2 coolers. Snap the lid on and forget about them.

I have been known to have quite the hoptooth.

Trellis Cascade Centennial Centennial Willamette Willamette Rest of my garden space

My trellis, willamettes, centennial, and cascade, and the rest of my garden space

I put up a 4 ft fence around mine, just in case...

I live right across the river in the quad cities and just planted cascade, cenntennials and willamette.

I do like watching hisvideos bit it always cracks me up when he uses that green hose to fill his fermenter up.

In my experience it wasn't the extract that was bad. It was a partial boil, not enough stirring, topping off with sink water etc... I'm all grain now because I think it gives me less of a chance to screw things up. I've learned that the process sometimes more than the ingredients matters the most

I have a lot of clients who insist beer is good just this side of slush

I was making a joke about the time and money spent to study micro organisms under tons of ice vs studying the micro organisms that live in my uncleaned bottles

Instead of spending millions getting to a fresh water lake beneath tons of ice to study the microbes, they could have just saved the time and money and studied the stuff that grows in my uncleaned bottles.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I'll have to check the local stores to see what they carry

I was wondering what styles do well if aged and what everyone's favorite style/brand-style is to age

I'm still using my order from last year. I love my lhbs but the price outweighs my small amount if guilt.

I stopped secondary primarily because I'm lazy. I haven't noticed a change in quality. The great thing about this hobby is you get to drink your experiments. Get a secondary fermenter and brew the same beer twice. Secondary one. Drink and compare.

I will have to say the screws holding on the hopper do allow it to come loose. A little adjustment in the ol home garage shop fixes that. I don't know about the other things. I've used it 4 times and it still works the same.
