I have a second year centennial hop plant, and it has taken off and put out probably a dozen bull shopts. But the problem is that the plant was left to die back last year and was never cut down, so the shoots are coming from the old branches above the ground. Should I cut all of that down, or...

Heyo. Just got back from a trip to New Zealand, and ended up buying 400g of this hop. Its supposed to be pretty uniquely NZ so I I stocked up. They say its like Saaz although I'm not sure. So, anyone have any exp with this hop? I'm wanting to make a pretty big IPA with it, something around 7%...

Ok so I just finished up my cpvc manifold, I used a hacksaw and made some really nice thin slits, it looks to me like it made better ones than a dremel or other tools. Anyway, so I made an octagon for my 5 gal igloo, it has 2 cross section tubes and a tee in the middle where the wort is draw...

Made a dogfish head punkin ale clone, it weighs in around 6.7% abv, I cold crashed in secondary for exactly one week after a vigorous 12 days in primary. I bottled it 2 weeks ago today with the advice of not adding yeast for the priming process, but it's not even close to carbed. It's fizzyish...

So a noob question, in my last batch (sn pale clone) it had very small particulates in the final product, so small that you had to hold it up and look for um, but all throughout. And I just racked my punkin ale into the secondary, and it seems that it has particulates throughout as well. These...

Hello all! I'm new to this forum and semi-new to Homebrewing, 3 extract batches and 3 all grain. I have two questions... 1. I seem to get a lot of sediment in my primary, I vorlauf until clear and I use hop bags in the boil and I have a bazooka screen on my pot. But still a good 2" of sediment...
