Ooh good idea! Might hafta try that.

Thanks! Yeah, I'm hoping for some bushiness at the top too.

I guess by "how will this affect my crop?" I meant will I have a significantly lesser yield, will the cones be smaller, or some other negative repercussion. Sorry, noob here just looking for some help... Geez!

Built a trellis for my first year hops. For practical purposes, I built it only about 7 feet high. I know this is way shorter than recommended, but I wasn't willing to go any higher. My question is - how will this affect my crop? Should I extend the growing space horizontally with more twine...

Just made a black IPA myself recently, which I also dry hopped. I would not dry hop any longer than a week for best results. Do it at the end of your secondary. Mine was 1 oz Citra and 1 oz Centennial for 5 gallons. So maybe 1 oz of each of yours (agreeing with homebrewdr).

Sweet shoot me a PM if you're interested in trading for a black IPA I have - in lieu of a group that organizes the trade - once they're done. My wife would love some variety she's not an IPA fan like me haha. Barleywine up next for me (though that takes like 6 months to ferment). I'm going to...

Nice me too, just up Old Frederick Road from Oella myself. Is a local homebrew trade something you'd participate in? (assuming they had beers you wanted)

3 years, 9 brews. All except 2 (which were purely experimental 1 gallon batches) turned out delicious... and I wouldn't punish anyone by passing those off. Not a spectacular resume, I know, but I'm young. I have no beers that have been "hanging around." Your measure of what is a successful...

As long as the trade isn't monetized, it's completely legal. The participants would also have to be 21+, of course. Beyond that it's fair game. No I'm not affiliated with the Catonsville Cooperative Market.

I was thinking the same thing, I just wanted to gauge interest before I looked like a loser and created my own FB group that no one joins haha.

Thanks. I want more than just tastes though. I want to trade beers.

Thanks for the invite. I definitely don't spend that much there though! Really though, what's involved/what it takes is just the scope of the club you are starting? CRABS may involve a lot, thus the dues - and there's nothing wrong with that. I'm envisioning specifically a co-op that's...

Makin it happen every day! I may have to come check out a CRABS meeting, tho like I mentioned above I'm not really into dues. Part of the reason I home brew is because I'm cheap!

Killer Ales sounds cool, but I'm not really into dues... Also I want it to be specifically about home brews, not food or commercial beers.

Anyone on this thread live in or around Catonsville? I'm interested in starting a home brewer's co-op of sorts, where people could meet to swap beers they've brewed and share recipes and knowledge. I know there's a bunch of similar clubs in the Baltimore area, but I'd like to narrow this...

JKaranka, how carbonated do these beers turn out, if at all?

She was too young to remember details like that. I am sure it is along the lines of a quick fermented beer like the Finnish one you described. I think I'm gonna try a 1 gallon of the recipe you provided, with a couple tweaks. I'm impressed with your knowledge! How'd you come across the Finnish...

Just found this: http://allaboutbeer.com/erntebier-recipe-for-5-us-gallons-19-liters/ Might have to try that out. Thanks for pointing me in this direction!!

Might be, I'd love to know.

Nice find on the Erntebier. That's probably the same thing I'm talking about. Thanks!
