I went back and harvested a few more this weekend. Combined this harvest with last weekend’s harvest for a total of 3.4oz. Not a lot but still worth harvesting. Left a bunch to ripen and grow so will be going back. Kept a couple bines to try propagating cut to include two nodes each. I...

I love the idea of finding wild or lost farm hops! I had been told about an old location that had some hops I believe were planted back in the early 1900s. So I went out to search for them and low and behold not long into my walk and I found the hops of lore. They were tangled amongst brambles...

Those are some great points. I like the idea of a larger blow-off tube into a pot of water, but I don’t want to modify the original bubbler opening. I guess I could always make a second hole for the larger diameter tubing and just block it when I want to use the original bubbler. There is that...

I have two of the old school Cooper’s 30L fermenters. I am just going by what the recipe made a note of.....

Yes I could possibly split the yeast unless I go with something like Wyeast. Yes the three 1.7kg cans would be combined into one pot. I would have to try and pour out and measure two equal amounts if I were to use two fermenters. it just seems like too many variables that could cause the two...

Thanks ya Amazon.ca is charging an insane price for the 60L at this time but it is still on my watch list. I might have to split the batch which I really don’t want to do. I’ll keep in mind the add-on’s.

Ya surprised there has been no comments yet until yours. I have not yet started this brew yet. I have been considering purchasing a 60L Speidel fermenter.

Ya I’ve had that happen in the past with bleach damaging some stainless steel utensils back when I first started brewing.

Those all seem like legit explanations. I figured as much that it was for sanitizing commercial equipment. The person selling this had mentioned putting in one tab in a spray bottle to spay utensils and thought “hey maybe I can use this too”. Was not sure if it was a “no rinse” product or if it...

I’m surprised no one has replied to this! I just came across this product and was wondering the same as the original poster.

Thanks, this started out as just an experiment as it was “7 years” past it’s expiration date! So far I haven’t been able to stop drinking it, so Yummy! 😋

Thanks ncbrewer, and yes I do have a large enough glass..... 😜👍 ....this was from a previous batch of Real Ale I did. I actually don’t get much sediment in the bottom of my bottles. They come out almost completely clear I can pour my beer just like commercial beers without fear of sediment...

Today is tasting day for the Hopped IPA! Bottled four weeks ago. Dry hops added during primary fermentation then about 1L of home brewed hop tea added to the secondary fermentation. The hop flavors are SO good! I know older kits get darker but did turn out a bit darker than expected, even so, I...

Just started following them myself as I’m also in the Lower Mainland area. They still have some really good sales going on. I’ve been contemplating on ordering some of their hops. Does anyone know if they have local pickup? They don’t seem to have their address listed on their website or Facebook.

That’s very interesting article. I’d like to look into that a bit deeper.

😂😂😂 That’s Awesome! 👍

Ya I was very skeptical but thought maybe just maybe something changed in the past 6 years.

If you clip the shoots coming from the ground, would it be advantageous (or even possible) to create new plants from them?

So nothing more on this since 2014? I guess I’ll be “that guy” to spark this back up again. I’ve read through all the previous comments but I’m wondering if there has been any new information on the actual process and meaning of “Double Brewed”?

Værsågod, It really depends on the type style you are brewing and the directions on the can are a good start but can be adjusted. But you could do between 750g - 1.5Kg depending what target ABV you are looking for. I just did the Cooper’s IPA myself. It was a really old can so this was an...
