    Comet Hopsi

    I like Comet a lot and I do think it is close to Citra. The main difference between comet and citra is in it's cohumulone level. Comet's is a lot higher - so it has a harsher bitterness to it. So, I mainly use it post boil- in hop stands and dry hopping. I think I get more of the fruitier...

    Hop Rhizomes/Plant Presale/Preorder Time

    Nugget and Comet are public. Nugget grows very well. I just planted two comets last year, and they did good for 1st year. The rest of those are proprietary. They do say that comet is "the sister of Citra." Which is why I decided to grow it. I haven't seen any comet rhizomes anywhere...

    Hop Crown Question

    I would plant now. I bought 3 Willamette Field grade plants from Great Lakes Hops last summer, July 10, to be exact. They didn't do much last year, but are growing great this year. I also bought some Comet hops this year from plants from Great Lakes, and got them in the ground in May, and they...

    I want a new type of ipa

    I was in the same boat. I'm not sick of those west coast hops, but was looking for something different. At the same time, I'm thinking about my hop garden, and wanted to find something unique that is available in rhizomes, as well. So, I decided I'm going to try Sorachi Ace. So, this...

    Lagering question

    I let my Vienna lager ferment for about 3 weeks. I took it out on Monday and planned on giving it a day for a diacityl rest, then transfer to secondary. I didn't look at it close before I took it out, but when I went to transfer it, I noticed tiny bubbles floating up to the top constantly as...

    Straight Pole Trellis System using tree and a post

    What is a good line to use across the top of a straight trellis system? I have Mason's Line going from a 12' pole next to the shed, to a tree on the other side of the yard. How do I keep tension on all the lines to keep them from pulling the top line down like it is in the picture? I'm also...

    Beer is Hazy, and tastes like a Hefeweizen

    I made an adjunct (flaked corn) American Lager and split it into two batches. One of them, I used a washed, re-used Wyeast 2035 American Lager Yeast. The other I used a washed, re-used White Labs 810 San Francisco Lager. They were both lagered about a month, the SF Lager maybe a little...

    Pliney the Limey?

    So, I ran into a pretty good craigslist score. A guy who was forced to move around for work and couldn't brew anymore hooked me up with a 55lb sack of Crisp Maris Otter, and a couple of pounds of hop pellets for $40. (which included columbus and centennial). He said the grains and hops were...

    Parti-Gyle Saving last runnings

    No. I did not boil it before storing. Duh. That makes sense. How long? 15 minutes? I had planned on boiling it when I had enough collected to make another batch. Could I then boil it again when I do get enough collected? I didn't add yeast to it. Like I said, I planned on adding extract...

    Parti-Gyle Saving last runnings

    So, I was reading up on parti-gyle brewing and I thought after making a big IPA that I could run another couple gallons out of my mash tun and set it aside. My plan was to do this after a few beers and save up enough for a bigger batch, and add some extract to it and make a regular beer or top...
