I am sure some people here have used it. I have a vile of it and am planning on using it soon but was wondering if it has the normal Dupont yeast tendency to stall for a while then come back to life or if it is more like 3711 and just blasts through the wort. Just wondering if it plays nice or...

How do i know when it is time to harvest? I have read when the hops feel papery but there has to be more then that to it. I have two first year cascade plants and some of the early flowers are already getting a little bit of a drier feel to the cones. It has been a hot summer in Central Va so...

On Monday I put a couple of jars with some 1.040ish unhopped wort outside for a few hours. I think I caught something. It looks like a pellicle and at this point there is a little funk going on in smell and flavor. I have not taken a gravity reading since this is a small jar and I probably...

This is the second time in a week this has happened. Stopped by the LHBS shop today to get some hops and crushed grains for brewing today mash in. I went to weight and distribute the hops and came out 1/4oz heavy on the 1 minute addition. Now I am wondering if my scale is wrong or theirs...
