I like that. Pillar pale ale.

So i harvested my Cascade hops a few weekends ago. didn't weight them but got 2- 5gal pails of them from my second year plant. i laid them out on old window screens for about 5 days to dry with a fan blowing air around in my garage. once dry i tossed them in ziplock bags, squeezed as much air...

i agree. i get from 8-12 kegs on a 5lbs cylinder depending on how i go about carbing the beer.

2 different wheats and a Muskoka Detour.

that cold will not kill the yeast, it only slows them down. You would need to add Campden tablets. i'm not a pro on this so hopefully someone else can chime in with a better answer.

i use it in the boil on most beer but never in the fermentation. i have brewed about 30gal with WLP300 and never needed a blow off tube.

did you use an ale yeast or lager yeast?

i use mr. malty for the number of yeast cells and then i use a chart from BillyBrew for the steps. i have been doing 2- 2L starters to get 300billion cells, atleast according to the chart. never actually counted them myself.

most beer in Ontario is going to run your around $40/24 and that is just the regular BMC type. i can brew 10gal for about 2/3's the price.

if you are using fertilizer, try to keep it off the plant best you can. Some fertilizers will burn you plant so bad you can kill them. i lift the plant greens off the soil and sprinkle around them.

i pay $65 for a 55lbs sack of 2 row tax and shipping included. most grains, base or specialty, are under $1.50.

not sure if you found your answer, but yes you can. you likely just need to make a step starter. i use mr. malty to find the amount of yeast required and then i use BillyBrews step starter. i do this often since i brew 10gal batches only.

no need to poke holes, just sanitize and wrap. don't wrap it so tight that your trying to make a perfect seal. like posted above, you want the air to be able to get in and out as need be.

it likely took you longer to log on to HBT and post this then it will to sanitize a bottle or two. i sanitize all the bottles and growlers. this way if for some reason i don't drink it, i can just toss it in the fridge. no need to worry about anything.

Use the baby bottle scrub brush to clean beer bottles after wife has told you not to a million times.

Well of course. How could i say no to that deal!
