Ah that is what I was thinking too. My cold ground water and chiller did too good of a job and I forgot about that LOL. I have been focusing on fermenting my ales as clean as possible and chilling them really low before putting them in the swamp cooler. I will stuff some blankets around it and...

What was everyone's experience with lag time for this strain? I brewed a simple extract beer 3 Lbs Wheat DME 3 Lbs Pilsen DME and 1 Oz Saaz hops. Pitched at 62 degrees no starter (per instruction) or aeration. Roughly 48 hrs later nothing happening no positive pressure on airlock. I am not...

Bump. I would like to brew this some time this summer. How did it turn out? Cheers

Revolution Spiteful Two Brothers (Warrenville but you can get them all over chicago) Half Acre Just to name a few. If they see a Binnys Beverage Depot most of them will have a local brew section. Cheers! Chicago is starting to become a decent craft beer scene

What is the name of your brewery? I live in chicago I may have to check it out.

That is pretty sweet. I can't believe I never thought of that . My dad is going to be putting in a basement brew system may have to send him the link to this . Cheers

Yeah I have the same fridge. Good call on going with the tap tower right away. I have been using cobra taps for about a year and they are getting old fast.But they still dispense beer. Cheers!

Holy cow that is cool. Are you going to add more taps? If you homebrew you should brew a Hulk SMaSH beer.

That is where I have gotten mine swapped as well. I am coming to really like Brew and Grow. Cheers!

Yeah my 2nd year Cascade is starting to bud , the chinnook and nugget are powering up the lines. I am putting in 13 more first years this weekend. Should be fun also brewing two batches of beer this weekend.

I love the Hop yard. Also I love the truck brings me back My dad had an 86 toyota truck . Those things run forever.

Here are my second year Nugget , Cascade , and Chinook plants. The Chinook was the runt of the litter last year , not this year. Hopefully the frost doesn't come and kill them all down. Plus this year we are putting in about 12 new hop plants at my dad's as he is starting brewing Planning on...

Great setup. I am sure this is a rig I would not want to operate after a few brews. "wait the destination hose should go ..... Oh crap" JK nice rig I love wood brew rigs.

Nice clean brew rig . Also the bike :rockin: Can't go wrong with a springer front end!!!!

I used sisal last year for mine. I took the 1/4 inch stuff and braided three strands with my drill. This year I went thicker because I knew they would be more prolific. The chinook is as thick as my pinky. I ran into to problems with the sisal rotting before harvest. I am not sure if I am going...

Haven't ordered mine yet . They will be coming from Fresh Hops. Getting 12 new rhizomes to go with my 3 two year plants. They will hopefully be in ground second week of may

I can relate but once you do it 6-9 times with the same uhhhhhh Bottle Bucket you get bored and are ready to move on to something shiny and steel. Plus you can do it in 20 minutes instead of 2 hours . LOL More time to sit on the couch and drink . One thing I learned going to a spring loaded...

Walk over and ring the doorbell. "Hi can I interest you in some Crystal 60 or Belgian Candy Sugar? Oh and can you help me scrape these scorpions off my head?" Seriously just say "look I am Legally able to brew beer for my own consumption. Do you have a problem with that ? "

River North. The closest LHBS I have is Brew and Grow on morgan. I find myself ordering from Midwest and Northern all the time .
