I am going to transplant two rhizomes from containers to the ground. One is a year old chinook the other is a 2nd year fuggle. Should I do it when they go dormant or when I would plant a new rhizome?

I have a bottle of Cantillon Iris and I'm not sure what to do with it. Should I drink it now? cellar it for a few years, keep it for a special occasion (what occasion?), stop asking hbt and drink it or what? If I understand my cantillon's right the Iris is made with fresh hops and a little...

In the next couple of weeks Im going to brew a beer that needs to age for 6+ months. A winter warmer. I want something north of 8% abv. Preferably 10-12%. What does everyone recommend barleywine or RIS? Im open to pros/cons and recipes. I only have the carboy space for one and I will be brewing...

I just brewed my second beer which was Northern Brewer's Nut Brown ale. Brewed yesterday and fermentation is on it's way. I read somewhere that someone primed with molasses. It sounds like it'd go well with this brew maybe add some flavor and mouth feel. Anyone have any experience priming with...

I just planted my hops yesterday. This morning I woke up to go water and check them out and I come to find something has dug up two of the 4 hops rhizomes I planted. I found the rhizomes unharmed just thrown in the pile of fertilizer. I've put up a small fence but does anyone have any other...
