Thank you for the reply. I'm obviously not up on this system and until your reply had not traced out all of the wires. I figured the 2nd PID would control the BK and didn't understand why or how the POT would also control it. I guess you just do a visual and then alter the boil by using the...

I have one of these on an electric brewing panel that I recently bought with a rex 100 pid. The guy I bought it from left town before he could show me how to use it and while trying to figurre it out I fried the ssr. How(manual or auto) to set the PID and at what temp for boil and what level...

I'm a scuba diver so I use nitrox at a 40% mix and hook one end of the feed hose to a stone and the other end to an old inflator hose that is connected to my regulator then crack the valve open for a few minutes and there you have it!

Try nugget or cascade and make sure they are in an area where they will get relief from the florida sun. I have had best luck with nugget this year. They are new since I moved and lost interest last year. I finally found a great spot under a huge oak tree. No fert so far just miracle grow...

chaos seems to have the best system for growing hops around this area in florida. I was able to get about 100+ hops from my nugget and cascade hops last year until aphids and heat all but stopped progress. I used liquid miracle grow in the water and had them in pots. My centennial hops did...

Trub is yeast and by-product from fermentation of wert that settles on the bottom of your carboy. You don't need a bag for hops in your carboy/fermenting chamber but I would use one in your boiling pot unless you are using a false bottom. Chiller plate is copper tubing used in cooling the wert.

Cool. I sprayed neem oil and it killed a lot of leaves. I just let them go from there and they are not as bad but are still around. I'm going to have to try the ladybug option. I heard that the ladybugs like marygolds 2.

It looks pretty light on color. Have you been fertilizing?

That big one looks ready. Paper sound and they start to open up. jmo:D looks good.

I just picked some more hops yesterday. The aphids are horrible. I used neem oil to try to hold them off but lost a lot of leaves because of this. To date I have picked about 250 cascade, 200 nugget and last but least 35 centennial. Port Saint Lucie florida. I'm not sure how the rest of the...

I'm a new brewer that wants a pump for help in the transfer of wert and for cleaning my lines etc.. I'm trying to gather information on where to buy this pump and what the pump can handle(cleaning agents and what temp. wert or water). Thanks.:cross:

Their beer rocks so who cares really but the new ones look too plain. jmo

I thought about peeing on them but I don't think I can hit them sitting down. lol

I bought and used the neem oil pre-mix and sprayed the lower 3/4 of the plants. I sprayed at night. Alot of the leaves are turning brown and are dying. wth

I hope it worked this time

northcal, this is my first try at hop growing in south florida. I started growing my hop crowns in late February. I picked some hops 2 weeks ago and recently (cascade and nugget). They were/are ready with more to come. I have no idea what the cycle is going to be going forward but here are...

M pede or neem won't affect the hop cone when I want to use them? Do I have to try to clean this off? I can see them on the leaves only but... I figured I would have a problem with aphids as they love my hibiscus tree. I tried marigolds some time ago to try to get ladybugs to stick around...

I started picking cones 2 weeks ago and have many that are close to picking. I am getting aphids and possibly mites but am afraid to ruin the cones with pesticides. What is the best way to kill these without altering the cones? South Florida hop growing. :mad:

Monster Brew delirious double IPA. 7 oz. hops (Citra and simcoe) and the price was cheap. Good tasting brew and stinky.
