Hey guys, Chip just released this video this morning so I thought I'd share. This was really a fly by the seat of pants - spontaneous video where we talk a bit about late season hops, harvesting, drying, etc. Hope you enjoy it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FcjQ5J9kAw

Lesson learned: If you don't NEED tap lines on a keg, don't leave tap lines on a keg. I brewed a beer for a local contest where the winner gets the beer entered into the GABF and a trip for two to Denver for the conference. I went to bottle a couple last night and the picnic-tap that I left...

Morning everyone! I thought some of you would get something out of this. Keep in mind, we're hobby growers - there are plenty of dudes on here that know a LOT more than we do. But, let me know what you think! http://chopandbrew.com/ or http://vimeo.com/66529319

Paul and I were able to play around on an awesome production scale brewery today. Thank you, Lucid Brewing! Here are some pics:

I was lucky enough to have Northern Brewer and Brewing TV document my most fun/crazy/off the wall brew session to date, so I thought I would share. Paul, Bryon, my friend "Sparky" and I hauled my single tier out to the middle of a local lake this past January for an ice-fishing/brew day. We...

I need some help from the pros. 3rd year Cascade. Did GREAT both previous years. Added manure this spring. This one started slow and just started showing these signs in 4 out of the 8 vines. Any ideas on what is causing this? I have six plants, this one is the worst, one other has the...

Here's my garbagerator build. A friend of mine is having a spring party and asked me (and a few others) to brew a batch for it. I didn't want to set my keg and tank out to warm up as people enjoyed it, hence the garbagerator build. I'll be hauling it to the party, loading with kegs adding ice...

I just thought I would post about my experiences with Chugger for the masses to express how impressed and happy I am with the way my issues were handled. For the record I don't have any affiliation with Chugger, this is just my opinion / $.02 the back story - I purchased two of the green...

I was asked to brew a beer for a little spring shindig that my buddy is hosting in a couple of weeks called Aptoberfest. His theory is "why should we wait until fall to have a beer and sausage festival?" So, I brewed a spring-like IPA (that ended up in the imperial-ish range) that I'll be...

I harvested rhizomes last night for the first time. I was amazingly easy. I ended up with plenty of Cascades (from two mother plants) and a handfull of Chinook (from one mother plant). Odly enough, I could only find one small rhizome from two Centennial ma-ma's. The weather here has been...

Here's a question for a few of you - Do deer like hops? Do they go nuts for them like Hasta? I'm a deer hunter and have a stand that is made from four vertical poles and rings every 3' - it looks like the skeleton of a grain silo. I was considering grabbing a few rhizomes in the spring...

Hop Monster!!!

I thought my fellow beer geeks on here would get a kick out of this. I had a "thank you" brew day for the people that helped me build or source my single-tier system and even though I scheduled it ~2 months out, most of my buddies couldn't make it so I put the invite out to my other beer...

Hey everyone, What are your thoughts about this!? Hosted by a couple of HBT Members, BN Army Members and general beer geeks. http://www.brewingtv.com/episodes/2011/9/8/brewing-tv-episode-44-dice-hopped-ipas.html Cheers! Ted

I'm sorry to have to ask, but I need some help. I searched and searched at work today and I could not find a problem close enough to mine to determine a way to try to fix it. Lots of pics of the problem(s) below. This problem is not isolated to the hops. The radish and kohlrabi leaves have...

This is the game: Rules: One guess per person per day for each beer posted. New beer = new guess. Poster must give one hint per day starting the day after the pics are posted. Hints reset the clock, so if you post a guess and a new hint is given, you can guess again. The winner wins and gets...

I have no affiliation with the company but I think when a vendor does a great job, it should be acknowledged. The pricing, shipping and customer service at Farmhouse brewing supply has continued to meet and exceed my expectations. They have a LOT of hops in stock (in 4oz bags), and great...

Do you go to your hop garden once a day, or at least once every other day to check to see how much your plants have grown or train your vines?

I have a quick question for the peoples, so thanks in advance for your help and opinions. Please keep in mind that I have yet to use this system so I know next to nothing. I'm finishing up my single tier system and plan to be making my 1st 10 gallon batch in a week or so. I went with cam-lock...

The owner of my company is in Arizona golfing so I'm taking it easy today. So, I thought I would share a Craigslist add that I put together last night. Link: http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/csw/zip/2271673868.html And for those of you who can't see craig's at work: I am looking to...
