Sorry I didn't reply earlier I'm Just going through some hard times right know and I'm just trying to brew some beer.

I'm looking for old or unwanted malt, hops, and grains that you don't want anymore.

Hey everyone I'm starting sg at 1.042 and was just wondering what is the best temp for secondary fermentation for regular pale ale and I was thinking it should range form 50-55 degrees.

Everything is turning out pretty good, I found a large grain bag that I had stashed so that went smooth. Turns out I had enough cherries for 8 gallons, tomarrow I need to add the yeast. Do I add 2 packs or measure out exactly for 8 gallons? I'm using the ec-1118 yeast. Thanks!

Thanks Yooper, I might just smash them in room temp water if cooking the cherries for the wine is not good (why is that?). Mabey I'll just remove the pits and try to stuff my mesh bags with the pulp. Also is it ok to use a conical fermenter for this wine?

I recently made about a gallon of chokecherry juice and I had to simmer the cherries for a bit while mashing up the cherries with a potato masher. It kinda worked but I had to hand sqeeze the rest through my grain bags and that worked out pretty good, no crushed seeds, just really messy. So I am...

I am collecting enough berries today for a 6 gallon batch, only thing is I don't have a large mesh bag. I only got 2 smaller mesh bags that I use for grains and they wont hold enough fruit. Is it ok to extract the juice first in another container? I think the pulp from the fruit will still fit...

Thanks yooperbrew! I had a couple more questions, How long will the Cherries stay good for after picking? I dont think I have the freezer space to load them in there. Also do I have to use corks when I bottle, I saw you used 12oz bottles and was wondering if I could use the beer caps that I...

Hi I was wondering how the chokecherry wine will turn out without the grape concentrate? That is the only thing that is unavailible to me.

Hi all, I have a lot of wild choke cherry trees that are getting ripe for the pickings. I have made beer in the past but I'd like to make a nice red wine with these. I found this recepie online and was wondering if it was a good guideline to follow? here's the link...

Do you need to keep watering them?

LOL! might be a good thing! Well I just harvested and left a few small underdeveloped cones on. So I guess I just keep watering it until the bines die? The cones smell great (there chinook), reminded me of christmas time!

awsome thanks guys!

I'm going to harvest my first year chinooks in the morning. My question is what do I do with the vines? Do I cut them back to the ground or leave some, do I bury it? Thanks guys

My first year hops are going wild! I actually have cones forming! I lost a few vines due to cows but I should be fine by next year. I will post some pics tomarrow morning.

Dude, just had quarter size hail the other day. Only lasted for a few minutes, but I've never seen ice fall from the sky......kinda cool. I bet Glenn the Hopfarmer got hit with some hail too mabey, his farm is only a couple hours away.

Hey guys the solution is simple! All you gotta do is hire a crew of some extremly small japanese beetle killing ninjas and let em loose, does the job every time!
