Aside from trying to toy with growth to keep it reasonable, such as by making it zigzag, fold back down, and such, arrangements with neighbors is probably the simplest solution. Not sure what story you live on, but if you can get the plant to grow below you, then the harvest could be about your...

Have the pot attached to a pulley and lower it down the balcony as the plant becomes taller. ;)

Nice.

A classic.

First seed lot of the year, the rest just started stratification.

How do you sort the seeds from the strobiles, though? I break them up, pass them through sieves, and then use a vacuum-powered seed cleaner I made.

Interesting. Pretty sure it wouldn't last very long where I am, though, wayyyy to windy here.

How do you harvest the seeds from the cones?

Mmm, mmm, weevils. After gusano-in-the-mezcal, some bottles of weevil-in-the-beer? ;)

Yea, that's the one. Mean values of overall hop aroma intensity (OHAI; black circles), Citrus (white circles) and Herbal/tea (gray circles) sensory attributes vs dry-hopping rate. Letters associated with the markers in the figure indicate statistically significant groupings (Tukey's HSD tests...

Yes, there's almost certainly an important varietal component to this. Also, aromas per dose. One trial with Cascade showed a peak dosage for citrus aroma, and that adding more hops actually decreased those flavors in favor of others. A question of solubility and volatility, I reckon, as well...

As it was already said, you started with a sour base... when the goal is to increase the pH close to neutrality. Not sure I follow the rest, though. You tried to rise the pH of one batch with sodium bicarbonate, and of the other with calcium hydroxide? Or did you use both of these on the same...

It was nice knowing you, bud.

Interesting set-up. Seems practical, but very space consuming. I can get away with a bunch of stacked ziplock bags in my fridge, but not sure my wife would agree with my stacking so many pots in there. :P

I started my germination trials. First seedlings started showing up yesterday, about a third already germinated by now. Been 6 days out of stratification, looking good so far. I'm going to limit myself to a bit more than 200 plants this year, haven't yet chosen all the accessions I'll be...

Oh noes, the 1 cent of moss! XD I had it. So... why not try it, I figured?

Interesting... and confusing. Lots of accronyms and codes I'm not familiar with in there. It doesn't seem to say anything about O. oeni and hops, though. So while it's true to affirm that it presents no evidence of hop resistance in O. oeni, I'm not sure we could go so far as to say that it...

Haha, well, seems like, despite myself, I ended up doing what I wanted to do but feared doing. "Go all the way!", right? Due to some mix-ups with the volumes of my containers, I over-topped off my wort. So, instinctively, I corrected the OG with MORE sucrose. I just ran the numbers this...

https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1094/ASBCJ-64-0222?journalCode=ujbc20 Well, this seems to suggest that malt naturally contains malic acid. I started my base wort yesterday, will be splitting into experimental fermenters by the end of the week. With/without juice and with/without...

3lb of LME will give about 5.0% ABV in 2 gallons. Unless you want to brew less than that, doesn't seem like one should be wasting. That said, yea, if you intend to follow a specific recipe, you could end up with the hassle of surpluses. But if you brew at least 5 gals, with at most a handful of...
