hops

You are going to be sent to a deserted island with all your beer making needs - but you only get to choose 5 hops. That's it. 5 hops for all the castaway beer . What are your most important 5 hops you would choose? These are mine - in no order. 1) cascade 2) Saaz 3) fuggle 4) centennial 5)...

Hi Folks, I'm hoping someone could lend some insight on troubleshooting an issue I'm having with a first year Mt. Hood Hop plant. The rhizome arrived about a month ago, and the first 2-3 weeks I had it in a container, it quickly shot up and when it reached about 5-6" I transplanted it into my...

For anyone who wants to bolster their hops-fu, there is a 1-hour, intermediate-level seminar on hops, Sat. March 23, from 12:30-1:30PM, at Forgotten Star Brewing in Fridley, MN. Covering growing, evaluating, and hops characteristics. And IPA! It's hosted by Eric Sannerud, owner of the...

Would anybody be interested in spreading the genetics as it being from preprohibotion plants that have been able to cope with powdery mildew and possibly have been reproducing via seed

I am in the process of trying to auto order Hops in the BruControl software, This is a fun challenge for me and of course I could do it manually, but where is the fun in that? From BeerSmith, you can bring over 8 hops. This may not be a limit but the Node Red code (@RiverCityBrewer ) we have...

Hi! Looking for a good hop for a rice lager that is preferably not sorachi ace. Last time I used hallertau mittlefrau. It was good. Looking for another one. I put in 1.5 ounce at 60 then 1 to 1.5 at 5mins normally. Want crisp, clean rice lager expression. What’s the best hop for the occasion?

I’m no noob, but primarily brew German beers. Lately, I’ve been drifting toward classic American pale ale and a few west coast IPAs. I’m well acquainted with noble hops and English varieties. Not a fan of the juicy hops that taste like fruit, though. Outside of Amarillo, cascade, centennial, and...

I'm growing hops for the first time. I have multiple varieties and most have reached the top wire. Instead of stopping, they have now started to climb along the wire. Should I just let them be or should I trim them to stop the from continuing? My thought is that trimming the top would make the...

So at the beginning of the season I cut back all but 5 shoots from each plant, and now they are about 10 feet tall already here in Ohio. Now they are starting to grow new shoots from the existing bines about 6 feet up, they are branching out with new bines with nodes on them… should I cut those...

A little over 2 years ago, I wrote an email to the Licher Brewery to try to get their input on brewing a Pils similar to Licher Pils. For anyone who has been stationed in Germany, or just visited you might have had this tasty beer! This is the response I got from them: "thank you for your...

I'm looking specifically for 1-2 regular HALLERTAU or Mittelfruh hop rhizomes to plant in my garden this Spring 2023. I am German and located near Pontiac Michigan area if that matters. Am looking for a friendship gift from a kind fellow homebrewer and I will provide you the prepaid...

Selling a bunch of 2019/2020 hops that have been in the deep freezer since I got them. Vacuum sealed with Foodsaver into 4-6 oz bags then one or multiple bags into Mylar bags. Hops are local to KCMO. For shipping, I would need added cost for whatever cheapest USPS option is. Hops are on Google...

Hi Guys, I'm after some advice and recommendations on the total Grams per litre of hops for a Hazy Pale ale recipe. What tends to be your go to for such a style? I've read online it's generally in the range of 5-10g per litre. Is this the total amount of hops (boil, whirlpool and dry hop...

I am getting married in three weeks, and I just now decided I want to serve a homebrewed beer at the reception. We already will have a keg of my sparkling hydromel (session mead), bottles of my blueberry wine at the tables, and a cooler of miscellaneous commercial beers. However, I have two more...

Hello all! I am brand new to home brewing beer (just got my set up in December and have only bottled 6 batches so far), so be kind if my question is silly. I love dark beers and IPAs and had been reading up on the neurotic quest for a lovely mineral'd water for a perfect ale. I'm very lucky that...

I have scoured the internet and the forums. I'm trying to figure out, what is the best dry hopping temps? In my current situation, I have a hazy NEIPA going, and I'm trying to make sure I extract all of the best citrus notes, flavors, and aromas that I can. 1 site says cold crashing temps around...

To brew a killer NEIPA, one needs big, juicy hop aromas and flavors. I have heard a few brewers describe what they call "base" or "dominant" or "banger" hops that form the structure and big flavor that the other hops can layer upon. Examples: Citra Mosaic Simcoe Galaxy Strata Nelson Sauvin...

Haven’t really brewed for a good 6 months but I’m trying to get a recipe for a good Marzen. I plan to do a decoction, and have a 3 vessel AG set up with 2 whirlpool pumps and a counterflow chiller. I have a pretty good idea of the steps involved ( I’ve done a couple pilsners already) as far as...

Hello and thank you all again for reading my post and for the suggestions. This is my first time growing hops and the little flowers are just starting to form. I was wondering if anyone had any ale style suggestions I could utilize my Hallertau Mittelfrüh hops with. I’m not expecting a large...

So i just keged and carbonated my first own written recipe. I was looking for a fruity hop forward but still bitter Westcoast IPA. And now I have actually tasted the beer, it's just as bitter as I wanted it to be. But i get a grassy type of bitter taste to the beer and a really small almost not...
