Absolutely, I'd say that you have a little north of 100B cells there. I've had great success with even less than that. I always build a starter though. I'd seal it tight with a canning lid and put it in the refrigerator. That will keep for several months.

The fun thing about harvest Ale's is that you never really know for sure. I've had luck with about 7-8oz wet hops for the equivalent amount of traditional hops. Last years was great! Did this year's about 3 weeks ago, looking forward to tasting it.

Fewer people...that's a good deal. I've loved going to the NHC, looking forward to this one. We'll stop by and see you sounds like fun

Wow! I know that the tickets go fast but that's crazy. I was lucky enough to get tickets to the Members only session in the presale yesterday but I was hoping to get tickets to another session to make the trip worthwhile. Does anyone know what the difference between the members only vs...

That makes sense, I've used wheat in my IPA's with success in the past but it's only been about a pound/5 gallons so I'm intrigued. It looks like you have a winner there! Keep up the good work

That's a great looking beer! I totally forgot that I had NVU a couple years ago and I really liked it. I'm gonna be up there in a couple weeks and I think I'm going to seek it out so I can taste it again. Thanks for the inspiration! I'm curious your recipe has a large % of wheat, how...

Looks great to me! If you wanted to tweak something you could lose the crystal malt add Munich or just leave it out all together. However 6oz is a sensible amount. I also think that whirlpool hops add more bitterness than software indicates I'm working within my system to adjust my additions...

Got my Hansen in the mail today too. I was going to build a large starter and bank some yeast for another brew later. It's called Hansen blend so I assume it's a blend of a couple different strains. Does anyone see any issues with this strategy?

I honestly think you would be fine either way. I had an active fermentation recently and I swapped out a fresh bucket of starsan. I usually swap out the blow off tube with a 3 piece airlock once most of me primary fermentation is done. I've been doing this for years with good results. I use...

I don't think it's terribly slow. Could be that your other kegs have more built up pressure than #3. I'd try to pull the PRV on all of them to see if your pressure is equalized. If that doesn't work I'd unscrew the post and check for hop debris in the poppet. You have a decent flow...

I've seen several really nice looking examples, you're going to do great at this graphic design gig! If you're still working up logos. We're iron ball brewing. My brewing partner and I came up with the name because when we were a little younger we used to break a lot of things and my buddy's...

I'm all out, thanks everyone! I hope you guys have great luck with the hops.

I vacuum seal in the original packaging. I put it in a little larger bag than needed and then I cut off a little piece of the bag each time I use them in a recipe. Then I re-seal in the same bag. This has worked great for me.

I did a similar brew recently and I really like it. I had more equal proportions of Nelson and Galaxy in mine, but if I did it again I'd use less Nelson and more Galaxy. As others have stated I'd reduce or eliminate the crystal. I often do 2 row and Munich or you could try Maris otter as...

I do, send me a PM and we'll work out the details. Thanks!

All Darwin considerations aside. If you did choose to plant there I'd train the bines up the lower cable. The top line is power the lower lines are usually phone and cable. If it gets close you can cut the top bud( forgot the proper name) and it should stop growing. If you have the space...

I just wanted to post an update, a little earlier today I shipped the rhizomes to everyone who I spoke with yesterday. I have 2 Sorachi Ace rhizomes left if anyone else is interested, if not I'm going to plant them sometime early next week.
