    Has anyone grown Neomexicana hops?

    I see one of our sponsors is setting up Pre orders. Got me thinking of they do well where I live. Neomexicana is a true American hop. Not transplanted from Europe. So far on my Google searches, the variants are Multi head, Neo1, Amallia, and Willow Creek. Multi is peachy. Neo1 is...

    I was a TJ Max and bought a 8 inch chef knife and a 4 1/2 inch parring knife. Made by Calphalon. Forged with German steel in China. (I know but I want decent knives to learn, not the expensive ones) I am going to test them out soon. I am excited. Got them for about 1/4 of what Amazon sells...

    What brand of filter do you use to filter beer?

    I am looking into filtering my homebrew. I am looking at brand names and I cannot figure which one to get. If you use the single use filters, which one do you use? I am going to use a 5 and a 1 micron setup, using a double canister setup. The whole house sediment canisters will be...

    messing up a good meal.

    Getting fresh water rainbow trout is rare. I found a store selling them and were super fresh. I bought a few. I seasoned them and wrapped the fish in foil. I let them cook on top of coals. Turned out great. Yummy. One was left. My mother-in-law gets it (cooked in foil). She put fish...

    safale 04 and 05 notes on IPA.

    I made four different IPAs. Two with 05 and two 04. Same wort, but two different french press 'late' hop additions. First dry hoping came out more like a very hopped pale ale. The 05 gave the best hop aroma and taste. Tasted smooth. 04 gave a English biscuit taste with some hop aroma...

    Greetings Ok this search is crazy. Micromatic's coupler with stainless probe is 30ish bucks but the website says 303 stainless. Micromatic has a 304 stainless for 70ish dollars.

    contractors suck, requesting bids suck

    Man, its tough. I know the material cost and labor cost (enough to be fair). Only one bid out of 12 has met it. Another bid was close to it, but who they hire was questionable. Now, I do not haggle. Not on construction bids. Angie list is kind of sucking right now. At least I...

    question about a wort chiller

    I am thinking about a 3/8" x 50' Stainless Steel Immersion Wort Chiller. Do you think I can turn it into a counterflow chiller on a later date if I want to switch over? I figure all i have to do is to run a garden hose through it. I shouldn't bend any metal by doingh so (I am thining, I...

    is this a good mash setup?

    So, I got all stainless on the kettle screen, the other parts/2 piece valve (from the site sponsor bargain fittings). I went to Wally-china and bought a igloo marine 40ish quart cooler. (Made in the usa, wow). So, I see that I need to go to home depot and pick up a washer or two because...
