I'm looking for Simcoe hops, and having no luck. I had to take a 6 month hiatus from brewing due to a new job that has me traveling 5 days a week. What the hell happened to all the simcoe hops?? Anyone know where I can snag some, or what if anything is a suitable substitute?

I got all mine from automationdirect.com They run about 16 bucks each

EDIT: Here is the profile I got 3 years ago. I keep meaning to get a new profile, but if you call the water department and ask for one they will give you a detailed report based on your service plant. I think it took less than 24 hours when I got one about 3 years ago.

It's always best to over think when it comes to the electrical stuff as long as you have reliable people backing up the final solution. I'd still let everyone know what your wiring looks like for your existing recep and breaker in case you do have the option of using it for 120 and 240. It's a...

I misspoke about full load, the rating on the pump is 1.4 for startup and .7 under normal operating. I have, as do many, my pumps running on 2A breakers and they operate perfectly. Sizing the breaker higher is fine, but it won't protect the motor from locking up etc.

This is not correct. The full load on the march pumps documentation is listed as 1.4A. Many people run them on 15A breakers but that doesn't mean they draw 15A.

I wouldn't poison anyone, I'm a Michigan fan too!! You have no idea how miserable my life is 11 1/2 months out of the year. They only take a break talking about Suckeye football about 2 weeks out of the year on the Sports radio station here. GO BLUE!!

I think it's ruined, better bottle it up and send it to me:D

NO NO NO, you put the Lime in the coconut :D

NICE! I knew we'd get there eventually, didn't figure it'd take this long:D

I just put the last bend in my sculpture, literally minutes ago so I'm done with my bender. I bought a Swagelok MS-HTB-8 on ebay like the one in the link below. You can sell it for pretty much what you'd have into it when you're done using it...

BASEBALL IS LAME!! I won't watch until they implement some sort of salary cap. I'm tired of hearing about the Spanky's and Red Pukes and every other team with the cash dumping ridiculous amounts of money in the off season trying to buy a championship. Also I don't care who took steroids...

OK so the New Years brew didn't happen. I'm gettin damn close though!! I have all the stainless plumbing done, all the valves are hooked up and functional, well the were hooked up, now I'm troubleshooting my pressure and volume sensors so I had to disconnect everything from the Brewtroller...

They were from the Pepsi Bottling Co here in Cumblous, OH. They all had a hint of soda in them and were still pressurized you could smell the pepsi when I released the pressure valve. I plan on keeping 8 for myself and selling the other 12 LOCALLY as I don't want to screw around with...

Welcome from Merion Village!! I can't say that I agree with the Columbus city water and chlorine. I obtained a report from the city when I started all grain brewing and the levels from my distribution center are only 1.5 mg/L (roughly equivalent to ppm) average which isn't enough to add off...

I got pretty lucky with a fan I pulled from a "solar panel" that was on the roof of my house when I bought it. It was leaking like a sieve so I had a roofing company remove it but I saved the fan. Not sure what the CFM rating is but it moves some serious air. It's been collecting dust for 4...

The sun even shines on a dogs ass somedays!! Went back this morning to see if there were a couple more that could be salvaged and take some posts and lids for spare parts and came up with another 10 corny's with only a couple having some minor dings :D

I went to the scarp yard today looking for a stainless commercial sink for my brewing area. Last time I went snooping around there were a lot of stainless tables and such, but no luck this time. Originally they pointed me in a different area than the last time I looked around but as I was...

This is going to work out great I have a feeling. Since I'll be pumping from my MLT back through the BK pump backwards into a bottom drain with a Hop Stopper above it I should be able to pump at full throttle without fear of painting the ceiling above the BK, testing to commence this weekend if...

Just covering my bases. I have already mounted the pumps so they are a little harder to get to otherwise I'd just have stuck a hose on it and checked to see if it'd work. I just don't want to ruin a pump.
