    Im pretty sure this is the way I am going to go in the spring. After a few years of brewing non stop its time to set up a permanent brew area in the garage. Im getting tired of having to take everything out and set it up every time I brew. This just seems like the simple approach for someone...

    First cones!!!

    Nice. I have flowers on all 3 of my varieties now. Can't wait to dry hop some fresh cascade into my IPA.

    Local Brewpub getting screwed...

    Sad, but I just see this as a mis managed business venture. I am not that smart, but I would be sure as hell to have all the permits in hand and have a meeting with the people around me before I sunk my kids future and my savings into something. I feel terrible for them, it's their right to own...

    Why does my homebrew give me deadly gas?

    No ... I would run. I meant I didn't get gas from bottled homebrew when I used to bottle... And yeah, the dog did appear to barf as a result of the bomb drop. My buddy was dressed up as Dee Snider and had a huge bone (Stay Hungry Album cover) and a couple of the dogs were following him...

    Why does my homebrew give me deadly gas?

    My buddy blew his ass off when he first started, and was bottling. Then he switched to kegs and that somehow resolved the incidents occurring around his house. He actually farted and made my buddies dog barf. It never really bothered me though either way.

    What does a side arm look like? Is it like another shoot?

    2013 Hop garden photo thread

    Im expecting it to be what you describe, and thats playing in a blackberry bush. If I get 30-40% of them sorted I will be happy. They are very easy to tell apart at this point. Especially the MT Hood which is much darker. I may tag some bines too. Its just a hobby at this point so whatever I...

    2013 Hop garden photo thread

    Sounds reasonable. I will do the best I can to keep things organized this year, and next year I will put another 4*4 across the top of the post to form a "T". I will not toss a fresh hop and will most likely use whatever mixed up hops for dry hopping. The pics actually make em look a little...

    Am I hooped here too? These are second year. From L to R: Goldings, Cascade, Mt Hood. I dont care if there's a bit of a tangle at the top. I am going to try and keep my eye on things and try and tag vines with different colour twist ties.

    Heres my set up. So far so good for year two... Last year was way too warm and they didn't grow we'll at all. These are growing in Ottawa Canada. From left to right...Goldings, Cascade, Mt Hood courtesy of Left field farms in BC.

    First time issues

    What yeast did you use? These are minor issues, you may get more mouthfeel and malty goodness out of this. But a couple less beers.

    How dumb are your state/province's liquor laws?

    Ontario Canada is a joke. I'll just say that alcohol is legal.... Barely. Talk to any brew pub owner and you will be mad real quick with just how strict conditions are. Prices... Well It's just under 50 bucks for a case of decent beer. 15 bucks a six for a craft beer is avg. You buy from them...

    A message to extract brewers.

    BIAB takes up next to no space. The concept is similar to steeping one huge cup of tea. I brew in my garage so I need to be able to have room for the cars. I would def start messing with BIAB AG. I have perfected my process so for now, I am fine with this method. It doesnt take that long at...

    A message to extract brewers.

    I was just talking about this thread to another brewer last night who stopped over and my wife mentioned that her fav beer out of all my brews is indeed a mash/extract. I made this DME+Pilsner Malt+Cara-Pils+Cascade Lager with s-23 last summer. Like a centennial blonde lager thing. I also late...

    A message to extract brewers.

    I don't feel censored at all. I also don't doubt that decent beers can be made with mash extract kits etc. My beef is with how sub par hopped kits are and if anything, will scare off new brewers. The Muntons kits I used were the top quality ones too. If you read the marketing about them, they...

    A message to extract brewers.

    I live in one of those areas. Our LHBS is more of a do it yourself wine place with a beer section at the very back. Lots of kits, very limited over priced malt, weak selection of hop pellet (Galena, Cascade, Williamette, Fuggles) and some DME. Its all about brewing cheap booze, and little focus...

    Sweet Child of mine was played on a custom Les Paul type guitar. I forget the acutal Luthiers name. :mug: I'm picking up what you are putting down here though. My first bass was a Jay Turser, it was 150$ but it rocks. I still use it to ham around at beer jams instead of my good stuff. I...
