Here's a few of my hop plants. some are in different stages of growth which leads me to believe I am over watering. Thanks in advance.

I planted my Cascade Rhizomes about 2.5 weeks ago, I decided to put them in large pots for their first year and used a mix of water control potting soil, Miracle grow garden Soil, and steer manure. The pots have great drainage and the Rhizomes appear very happy. I was amazed how fast they grow...

I live in San Diego, just curious as to when people have seen their 2nd year hops starting to emerge. I think mine may have died last year.

Just curious why a lot of folks do 10 gal batches. Is it to Keg 5 and bottle the other 5? Keg Both, Bottle Both? Split the Wort for different flavoring hops? I cant imagine bottling all 10 Gallons. I would rather wax my ass hair then sanitize the ammount of bottles it would take to bottle...

After drinking one of these I decided to find a clone for it and came up empty handed. I did find a nice article on how Charlie, Fred and Ken brewed it which gave alot of info about the beer and the ingredients so came up with my own recipe based on this. Charlie, Fred and Ken's Imperial...

Have any of you brewed the Mill Run Stout recipe from Palmers' "How to Brew"? I just brewed it this weekend and am wondering if anyone else has brewed it and if so what you would change if anything. I am thinking of adding some coffee to a secondary. But in a way I want to see how it comes out...

I just brewed an IPA with an OG of 1.059 and a FG of 1.005. According to BJCP this is too low to be within style but everything else is, including ABV. Could it still be submitted into competition or would it be thrown out immediately? :mug:

This is my current set up. Thinking I might get something more.... whats the word......Ahh yes, Stable! LOL :drunk:

Just acquired a Coors keg from a neighbor (which is one of the fat ones) that had it in his garage for a while. After looking at the keggles around here I noticed most or almost all are Budweiser which are not as wide in the middle. Is this a preference, availability issue or what? I am just...

Went to HD this morning for a new Faucet in our kitchen. While looking around I saw they had turkey fryers for $69.00. http://www.homedepot.com/catalog/productImages/300/8e/8e82b106-88a5-445d-bd5b-e298336645ea_300.jpg I been wanting one so I can get out of the kitchen with my brewing so...

Started working on my SOF chiller about a week ago based on the http://www.bayareamashers.org/gadgets/son_of_chiller.pdf design. I decided to enclose the whole thing in plywood and made it big enough to hold two 6.5 Gal carboys. I also added a laminate bottom which is glued to the 1.5"...

So I pitched my yeast starter last night in my Wort which was 75F. I have done this in the past with WL002 and the temperature dropped to just above room temp within 24 hours. I am now at about 18 hours since pitching the yeast starter and the temp is around 80F (room temp is 70), my Wort is...

warning: Rant ahead..... So I won a bid on ebay for a cornie keg back on the 16th of this month. A couple days later I decide I better order a co2 tank, regulator etc.. from Keg connection (ebay really didn't have that good of deals once shipping was factored in). My keg connection order came...

I would really like to make a Stone Pale ale clone, I have the recipe from BYO magazine. My question is how close to the real deal is this recipe? Has anyone here tryed it and conducted a taste test? :mug:

If anyone has ever had one of these they are very good. I think I would like to try and brew it. Heres the ingredients from their website, any ideas on the quantities for a 5 gallon batch? nectar ipa Our IPA is created from a base of Pale and Crystal malts and is aggressively hopped...

How do you know if a beer is suppose to have haze? I think the Stone I am drinking has chill haze LOL.

So I know I'm a NOOB at brewing but I just cant stop drinking my first home brew. SWMBO has mentioned a couple times already how I been drinking more beer than usual. I usually have one 12 oz beer with dinner, maybe two. I am now drinking a 12oz and a 22oz on average and tonight I put down two...
