i think wolaver makes an organic beer or two.

i'm not really into the organic thing, but i was wondering what everyone else thought about it. got the jest of it.

wow orfy, i did not mean to upset you so. i was just stating that as far as i see it, taste is subjective, but if you have a method to statistically prove your point with emperical evidence then i am sorry. know that i had no intentions of provoking an argument.

wow, this thread is taking some heat. i was just wondering about peoples thoughts on organic brewing. i did not mean to get into an interweb debate with anyone. i totally agree that FOR ME organic is not the way to go due to cost. i also agree i have never had a beer that was BETTER because...

factually, this is an opinion. i'd bet if you ate hydro-chemi grown lettuce that was grown in a sterile hydro outfit, you'd taste a difference from an organic product. which one is better is an opinion, but i'm not going to get into an argument on a forum about that. i'd love to go organic...

that is like, an opinion, man...

my concern is obviously cost. its gonna taste good i know that. its the same way with gardening, but gardening is a much less expensive hobby(at least the way i do it)....thanks for the info folks!

i just cut a corner off of a ziplock and used that as a funnel. got a bit messy, but got a nice amount of hops in there. looking forward to trying it in a few....thanks everyone for the great discussion..

so you added them dry?

is there a good way of getting whole leaf hops in a glass carboy that has been racked over already? i wanted to dryhop a few days before bottling. last time i steamed the hops and added by hand to the carboy. any better suggestions welcomed and appreciated!

is there a generally accepted way of getting whole leaf hops into a glass carboy of beer that is already filled? there is plenty of room, but how to get the hops in w/o a huge mess. thanks

just keeping this thread alive. is there a good clean way to get whole hops into a glass carboy already filled? thanks a ton! :mug:

so i use a converted keg as a boil vessel. the thing is i never actually have an idea how much wort i've run into my kettle. i know how much i put in my mash tun, i know how much i absorbed in the mash, and i know how much i sparged with. am i to assume that i collect the sums of these? or...
