    Horizon

    I recently received some hops I ordered from Great Lakes hops. I have bought some from them before and was pleased with their products. Along with the Mt Hood hops I ordered was a plant that had a marker that said "lucky dog". I thought, never heard of that type. Then I spun the plant around and...

    Aurora hops

    I recently bought some Czech Saaz hops and the seller also had some Aurora. I got some of these too, the description says : With nearly twice the alpha acid content as Styrian Golding, another primary Slovenian hop, Aurora is spicy, herbal and moderately bittering. Descriptions and reviews of...

    opinions on Duotight in-line regulator

    I recently bought a larger new fridge for a kegerator. My old one held two kegs but the new one holds three. I have a Saison a Strong Bitter and a Kentucky Common on tap and would like to have the Saison at higher carbonation. I reused my gas manifold that has just two outlet valves and just put...

    Using pellets and whole hops together

    I have been using whole hops for most of my brewing until the last couple years. It seems that some varieties are hard to find in whole nowadays so I'm using more pellets. My boil kettle is a keggle with a false bottom and has worked well with both hops as long as I use a decent number of whole...

    Crowning hop plants

    The third week of March I crowned my 4-5 year old plants. This is the first time I tried this and was a little worried because I didn't see any growth for awhile. I was relieved to see shoots popping up around mid- April and now after pruning bull shoots in late April they are really taking off...

    Rye

    I was reviewing a recipe in the Historical section by Revvy I believe. Kentucy Common was the style and looks interesting. With only 1# of rye malt and with over 2# of corn how much would rye be noticed? I've never used it in a recipe and would like an opinion on how much to get an idea of what...

    Trying some new dry yeast

    My old fermenter fridge died after 12+ years of faithful use not long ago. After looking for a used replacement with no luck I bought a new fridge. I am now brewing more Lagers and have had some success. I brewed my first Bo-Pils a few months ago with WY2001 PC [ Pilsner Urquell ] with Czech...
