The preferred way to go is ground. Pots are ornamental and temporary and heat sensitive to direct sunlight. Pots are great when young but end up dwarfing after a while.

yeah All that is 50 bucks for sure. i'd take the plastic off the copper though to be sanitary. gj!:)

what is the photoperiod? If your going all in on the lighting then you may want to maximize efficiency as well. I recommend 18/6 to 24/0 to green up until you want to flower and then 12/12. Also keep that light close. maybe a foot away depending on heat. A fan blowing directly on the plants...

Last year (first year) in Santa Clarita, my cascades dominated, second was nugget. Chinook started strong and pretty much stopped when the temps got over 90 every day and never started again. Those three plants seemed to thrive up until the end of July. Centennial was the worst not counting...

Yeah the OP is worded badly. I bet it's 3.75 oz total. It says 2 weeks each btw. edit: nevermind it looks like it is 11 oz dryhop. and pull them each time. sounds pretty sick.

I figured I got screwed. Next time I'm going to the weld shop or fire hydrant place.

$28 to swap out a 5#.:eek: $5.60 in tax alone. I assume there are new california taxes this year :rolleyes: so that part is expected but to go from $16 last year to $28 this year is a bunch of BS. The guy behind the counter insisted that airgas won't let them sell it cheaper. Is everybody...

no, don't use it to measure alcohol liquid. And I have no idea what your doing with the 20 gal. just don't let o2 get in.

made last night at 1.062. Mashed at 156 and it finished 70 minutes later at 154. I pitched at 74 and it sits at 63 now. I used wlp002 and did 2 steps. It plugged my keggle so I siphoned. I'm planning to just dump the whole hops in the primary with the rest of the junk and boil a hop bag to...

keg it, let it carb up, bottle a few 6ers off the full keg and leave the rest.

After four days I got 1.014, and it remained there on the fifth day after I brewed it, so I dry hopped then. I'm completely satisfied with that. It kind of worried me for a second with 156 mash temp, but all appears well.:rockin: The taste appeared to be a very nice blonde, kind of what I...

On brew day the refractometer is gold. Have fun cleaning that sticky crap out of your hydro tubes and throwing it down the drain.:cross: I use a small spoon and scoop a little after mash and again after transfer. I just sit it on the counter to cool for a few minutes. makes a hell of a...

Yeah I'm kind of talking about store bought filtering clarity like I get from beer sitting around for a long time and then in the fridge for a while as well. I have never got anything close from all of the various additives and crashings. And I don't mean hops I mean yeast.

Any good experiences on a long (2 month secondary) followed by a dry hop at the end. I'm just trying to envision aging beer and then tossing it in the fridge for 2 to 4 weeks to drop the yeast out to make "like filtered" beer. Wrong?

So I made this one on Sunday. I mashed in with 4.25 gal at 156F, and at 70 minutes and 154F I added 1 gallon of 180F water. Then I stirred, vorlaufed and drained followed by 3 gallons of the same pot of water (175ish). No science there just winging it. :fro: I ended up with 1.060 and about...

I was going to add 1 packet s04 and 1 packet us05 like in the instructions. I'm not sure if that was a typo or something. Anyway, I think I'll just make a starter with the wlp002 since it was so healthy on the last batch I used it on. If there is a better suggestion, let me know. :tank:

If that is left after gravity took over and a few minutes passed then it appears that you are not crushing correctly. It looks like flour on top. What is the setting? And what was the mash temp? Is it all barley?

Adding starter wort changes wort color some, confuses your gravity goals and adds a little bit of oxidized beer. I wouldn't sweat it if you do though because it will taste fine in the end. If you pull the starter, chill it for 4 hours or more (24hrs is better) you can easily pour off most of...

201 if you don't count the absinthe and moonshine. :rockin:

dry hop it for sure.
