I harvested the large cones last weekend and I have about a shoebox full of cascade. I was on vacation and when I got back they were starting to turn brown so I picked the large ones and when I broke them open there was not very much lupulin in them. They Don't Really smell like hops either more...

Hi all! First time grower here... I picked up a cascade and a centennial PLANT (not rhizome) at the nursery a month ago. My cascade is about 3 feet tall and going strong with two bines but my centennial looks like the growth tip got broken or nibbled off about two inches above the ground. It...

I'm trying to come up with a design right now. I've seen a lot of great one's here but I'm kind of leaning toward this: I plan on sinking four chain link fence posts in a 4 foot square pattern, about 3-4 foot tall. The local blue home superstore sells 21 foot sections of 1 3/8" chain link fence...

Love it! Two questions: What thought process did you go through for the choice of controllers. (BCS vs Brewtroller) and second, where did you source the project box to contain all that ugly/beautiful electronics? Please don't tell me it was a fabrication... I want to start my build with the...

Maybe I did something right? Bwaaahaaahaaa! LOL, actually that batch was doomed from the start! I Mashed and lautered just fine but that's where everything devolved! My regulator screwed up and no gas would flow. I jacked around with the regulator for 45 minutes, then I drove to Lowes to...

I would recommend one of those beer line brushes for cleaning your dip tube also. THAT was my "****, I wish I would have thought of that" item.

I couldn't agree more! I gave it one try and I'll NEVER again try it. I've got a strong scottish ale that has been sitting for almost a year and the only thing those friggin tabs did was make a bunch of debris in the bottle. One of these days I'm going to try adding some dry yeast to a few...

Denny- question about the Waldo lake. I was impressed by the thick, creaminess of the head on my batch of Waldo (only one batch so far but the next one is on the brew list). It was unlike any other recipes before or since. The foam was so incredibly thick- almost like that expanding foam...

I use a half pint mason jar with four nail holes punched in the lid. Fill half way with apple cider vinegar and set them around areas the fruit flies are frequenting. You'll be amazed how many you catch.

As long as we're talking musicians, how about Brian Johnson? (Bon Scott for that matter)

I scored a medical O2 tank "E" size I think for $40. Oh and it had a little wheeled cart and regulator with it. The fact that it had 2000 PSI in it (full) was even better!

I just had the same nose burning thing happen to me this evening. I had never had this happen so I was pretty shocked at first. The CO2/carbonic acid thing made sense once I read up on it. The guy at the LHBS didn't suggest this as a cause. I guess he thought I was making an APA- Ammonia Pale Ale...

Old thread, but I've got a Kolsch in primary right now using 1010. Hopefully I'll have something to report in a month or so, I can however say that this yeast is FAST! I had a 5 gallon batch with a 1.7 L starter and main fermentation was done within 48 hours ( 1.054 OG ) 7lb German pils 2 Lb...
