    HELP! something is attacking my Columbus

    Pics are from this morning - they were not like this yesterday. Columbus, 1st year. Did not find any bugs....but clearly something started chewing and pooping on my plants (there are holes in several of the main leaves not shown) And I am not sure why the more mature hops are turning...

    oh. the. joy. Popcorn Butter....

    Thought I made a rad IPA (Amarillo Simcoe blend) Extract recipe...got FG, dry hopped and bottled 7 days later (used WLP001 yeast). Tasted PHENOMENAL right before bottling. I was a happy camper. Wait a week to taste a 'green' beer. Carbonation is a little low...but tastes/smells like...

    I have a Citra IPA that's been fermenting now for 11 days (no FG reading yet). It currently is in an area of my house that averages 65F. Would moving it to an area that averages 70F help the process of yeast 'cleaning' up until it hits FG? Yeast used is S-05. also....i learned...

    Collecting/Washing Yeast

    OK - this might be an obvious question. I am going to collect yeast from a recent batch of IPA (WLP001) - pretty straightforward....should be no issues. I want to collect some yeast (Wyeast 3944) from a batch of Belgian Wit....but I am currently fermenting a few gallons of Apple Juice on...

    What did i do to my dipa!!!!!

    To begin...I am a noob. Long story short I added 8oz of Malt Extract to my wort instead of 3lbs (there was confusion in the instructions and the missing Malt Extract from the 'kit'). Fermentation was active withing 24 hours...yay :ban: After 6 days I transferred to the secondary and dry...

    Hello from the Santa Cruz mountains

    Hi All - I look forward to learning A LOT from this forum (as this site shows up for pretty much all the googling I do). Noob to brewing, but diving in head first. Just moved to a bigger place so I have room to brew and grow hops. Wanted to try different hop flavors, but did not want to...
