If I wanted a thick swampy orange juice I'd buy some Tropicana extra pulp and leave it in the fridge 6 months till it was half evaperated. I like Ipa's but NE is just not real beer...save the juice for the kids lunchbox

I havent ordered hops in a year or more. I could have sworn Cascade was the cheap hop for like $12 a pound and under $10 on sale Looking online its $20 in many/almost all places. Some are cheaper but the shipping brings it right back up to $20 Did it go up a lot...like double?

I'm going away for a few days and dry hopping during active fermentation will leave me with finished beer when I get back. My question is they say doing so blows the flavor/aroma out the airlock. If hop oil is whats doing the flavoring how is this possible? The oil is the oil and sits in the...
