Photos of Big Island of Hawaii Cascade Hops

The Cascade hops are growing and flowering very well at 19.3 degrees north lattitude. The problem is the rainforest climate is causing anthracnose mold to be able to ruin the cones before they are fully mature. 😢

Scraproom, if you used Mangrove Jacks M44 what did you think compared to 05?

The luggage compartment of a plane is very cold, not heated. I've brought home several liquid packs of gigayeast and white labs vials and it was quite active still. My biggest problems with liquid yeast have been using them at or after the expiration date without growing it out first. The...

Today is kegging day. I am really digging this 5.0% Amber beer IBU 28 with Burton yeast. Tastes a whole lot like a better Newcastle, Plenty nutty and fruity. The magnum and late addition summit are so much better than you would think. Is the Mangrove Jacks Burton yeast same as Bass Brewery?

You can bring as much yeast as you want in checked baggage or one vial or smackpack through TSA, double check allowable volumes, Honolulu TSA let me bring a vial of whitelabs to Hilo. Whitelabs does not have vials now but cheap lousy flimsy tubes and so are more likely to rupture and spill than...

Safeale 05 is my Workhorse yeast. It's a great yeast that sometimes can finish dry. I used to save yeast when I lived in Arizona but I don't do that here in Hawaii there's too much airborne bacteria and fungi around. You could save yeast if your system was totally closed and I'm working towards...

I have also bought through hopsdirect. They have slightly different inventory than Yakima Valley hops. For Brewing items that dont need to be the freshest I always try to give my business to Ross at the Hilo brewing supply store because you never want your local supply store to go out of...

Old thread but hopefully someone will read it. Just this spring planted Cascade hops from Yakima Hops on the big Island of Hawaii in Keaau. We are at 19.5 degrees north latitude. I am letting them grow from soil up our chain link fence. Super vigorous growth and one vine in particular has hop...

Still looking for other brewers in HPP, Keaau Pahoa Hawaii. I live on 22nd dead end side of Makuu. Lately I have been playing around with Summit and Magnum hops and quickly am becoming enamored with both. Amarillo and simcoe and citra, cascade, and centennial are good hops but Summitt is my new...

Yes still brewing away. I actually live in a smaller nearby town called Keaau.

Based on your hints is it an oatmeal red ale?
