First, thanks a lot for your input. I do go through this arbor from time to time... What do you mean by leaving plenty of room between the posts ? I cannot modify the arch itself... Mine really looks like this picture in the link I posted, so you think that the hops could "clog" the...

Sorry about the confusion, that's what I meant to do... I plan on using the same hop variety on both side, but to limit it to one vine on each side.

Hi, I have a wooden arch in my backyard unto which I might want to grow hops on. It's your typical 7 to 8 feet high, by about 3-4 feet wide wooden arch that you sometime see in parks. Kind of like this one. I plan on using two of the same variety of hops, one per side of the...

During the holidays, I tasted La Barberie's Chardonnay Blond Ale, and was pleasantly surprised! I have no clue how they brew it, but it tasted somewhat like a belgian strong al, although less heavy on the mouthfeel, with a late taste of chardonnay that was refreshing and not too overpowering at...

I was checking out this burner too, but they were all out at the Canadian Tire near me. Personally, I would say to go for it since it is so cheap and comes along with a 7.5 Gallon pot... If the burner sucks, then when you'll buy a proper burner, you'll have a backup :D

That's what I've been doing and it works great... However, you must take into consideration that your evaporation rate will be doubled when using two pots. Using two 5 Gal. Pots, I lost a little over 2 gallons to evaporation over a 60 minutes boil. That's quite a lot, but splitting the...

Just chiming in to say that I'm also interested in anything somebody has to say on this...

Didn't do an iodine test. I took the 50/50 as ok since that's what BierMuncher did in his blue moon clone recipe: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f71/blue-balls-belgian-wit-blue-moon-clone-24978/

Hi, Thanks in great part to this forum, I brewed my first batch ever yesterday. The goal of this thread is two-fold. First, I wanted to share a journal-like report of my first brew day so that other people about to start brewing can better grasp how it goes. Secondly, I simply...

Do you have a propane burner ? I hope so, because it takes about an hour for me to bring 3.5 gallon in a 5 gallon pot to a boil. I still do Full Boils though... by boiling 3 gallons in each of my two 5 gallons pots. :rockin:

Gotcha. Well off the the LHBS to get the additional gromet and airlock. :cool:

That's what I'll do thanks... So, are you saying that it is actually better (or at least more practical) to only use plastic buckets with the lid drilled and accomodated with a gromet and airlock than to use glass carboys ? If so, then why are all the pictures of experienced home...

Thanks for the input. Yeah, I know that the 5 gal carboy is too small for primary, and this one I'll only use for secondary. What I was pondering is buying a new 6 gal carboy for primary, but I think that for now your solution will be just fine (and less expensive). When I gain some...

Hi, I'm new to these forums and to home brewing. I spent the last week reading from beginning to end Palmer's HowToBrew website, and spent some more time around here. So I'm about to be as confident as I can be before starting my first batch. However, I am somewhat unclear about the...

woa, quoting from a year-old post... Is it me or does this guy didn't understand the principle of priming for bottling ?

Keggle that I might buy
