I believe the main reason people avoid using their homegrown hops for bittering, is because they are unsure of thier potency. Almost any hop (correct me if im wrong) will have the same affect when used for 60 minutes. By this I mean the flavor and aroma qualities are lost/boiled out. They will...

So, Thinking of bottling this baby real soon. I have about 4.2 Gallons in a carboy. Brewed last December. For Bottling I was planning on adding about 4 OZ. of Dextrose, and a package of Champagne Yeast. Thoughts?

I have made 2 10 gallon batches of this recipe this fall. I have sampled both, and they are both tasting great! One question for you Reno... I used Safale US-05 on one batch, and White Labs California Ale yeast on the other. Both took the gravity down to 1.008 in a week. You say you skip...

Yeah, I built this driying screen in a few minutes. just some 2 x 2 and some screen material nailed to it. took 3 days to get down to 20% of the original weight.

A buddy of mine gave me one of these to try out. Its a charred stick of wood with holes in it, used for accelerated barrel aging flavor. Has anyone used these? I am wondering how much beer to put this 'stick' in... I was thinking of adding it to a 5 gallon carboy full of Barleywine or Porter...

It is amazing how much volume 1 ounce of dried hops actually is! I ended up with 2 Lbs of dried Columbus, & about 4 OZ of dried Glacier. Cheers!

You are correct sir!

I did a Janets Brown once. turned out great. tons of Carapils though, brew was really foamy/frothy

Columbus ready for Harvest!!! not bad for Year 1

First Year Columbus Hops

DOUBLE G DANGIT!! Not only did I forget the spice, (not a big deal as I am told adding a 6-8 oz spice "tea" will be fine) but I did not double the pumpkin puree for my ten gallon batch!?!?! I will definately have to RDWHAHB as I'm sure this will still be an awesome ale! Gonna brew...

G dangit! I just made 10 gallons of this beer and followed the recipe to the T. FORGOT TO ADD THE SPICE COMPLETELY!?!?! I am about to pitch my yeast right now. WHO HAS DONE THIS?? is my beer ruined? can I add it to primary or secondary? Do I make a "spice tea" cool it and add it?? what should I...
