I figured I would post this up here for anyone interested. My alma mater is hosting a virtual hops class through a department of agriculture grant. Cost is 100$. https://www.shipnews.org/2020/12/14/ship-builds-local-support-for-hops-production-through-new-agriculture-grant/

So I have been slowly working my way through the beer and wine making process. I started several years back with my father in law making blueberry wine. I have been making very drinkable fruit wine that turns out in under a year. Not hard to sit and figure out what worked and what doesn’t. Fast...

So I have a keg of an IPA on tap right now. It runs with a 3 way manifold for 2 other kegs. Currently, they are cheap taps, but that’s besides the point. A few days ago I tried to pour an IPA and it came out straight foam. I troubleshooted. Fully disassembled the tap and cleaned it. (The other...

Im going to be brewing an oatmeal stout (OG 1.059)later today. I'm not familar with 1099 Whitebread yeast. Im looking for a good fermentation temerature schedule. I was thinking something like this: Pitch at 65 and hold for 3 days Increase to 68 over 4-5 days Increase to 72 over the next 3-5...

this is my first experience with WLP001. From their website it list attenuation at 75-80%. Temp range 63ish-72 (please correct me if I’m wrong). So I did a recipe kit AG, SG 1.046 when I pitch, 2L starter. That was 7 days ago. I did 63F at pitch, 65F 24 hrs later, followed by 2F increase...

So I have a water softener at my house secondary to hard water from a county water authority. I had not accounted for brewing beer when I had the softener positioned and install. As such there really isn’t an option to move and it is almost impossible to run a pre-water softener line. I have a...

i have read quite a bit about making a yeast starter. I just ordered a new coffee stout all grain kit from my LHBS and the yeast came in the small packets. I thought it would come in a smack pack. Time/work constraints don’t allow me to get any DME OR LME before brew day. Any suggestions on...

So I have had the itch for quite some time to make beer. I have done 7 or 8 5 gallons of home wine so the sanitation doesn’t appear to be a problem. I have done my home work. Jim palmers book, another beyond the basics of brewing (I forget the name off the top of my head), quite a few article...
