I sure am jealous of the real estate people have to work with. This is me squeezing it into my little urban property. It makes a nice tunnel by the fall.
Tip, 5 different varieties in 20 feet is WAY WAY WAY too close together. If I did it again I would do one or two of my favorites.
The geometry of my setup is almost identical to yours. I have 5 - 4'x4' beds all in a row that are separated by a 1 foot deep buried wood barrier. I did not raise my beds as much as you did, but before I installed it I tilled the soil to 2 feet deep and installed drip irrigation.
In each of...
Even if you do lose this years growth in a freeze, as soon as it warms back up, new shoots will emerge. I usually loose my first 2 shoots to freeze before one takes in Colorado. Then by end of may they're usually near the top of my 24 foot eves.
Unfortunately The Eldo is only one in town and it leaves a lot to be desired. Pretty big local hang out, but you'll notice that the locals don't drink their beer, they drink bottled beer from elsewhere (PBR mostly.)
As a recent transplant to CB we're exploring the idea of opening a small...
Just bottled this weekend. Time is your best friend on this recipe. I tasted out of the secondary about 2 weeks after racking onto the 1tsp spices and thought it tasted like crap. Just poorly balanced. Due to lack of empty bottles, it sat in that secondary for about 5 weeks and when I tasted...
Problem about your source is that it appears to be sponsored by the trade association of producers of BPA... kind of like a lead mine saying "lead isn't really that bad for you."
The main point of that website is that there isn't enough data to be sufficiently sure that it is bad for you...
I just racked to secondary. I brewed a 5 Gal AG recipe that Yuri updated in the middle of this thread.
9lb 9oz Pale Malt
2lb 5oz Crystal 60L
1lb 2oz Biscuit
7.3 oz wheat, flaked
10 oz rice hulls
75oz Pumpkin Canned (Organic from safeway... organic was all they had.)
0.75oz...
In Denver the 14oz "pint" glasses sprung up about 5 years ago. Almost all of the non-specialty beer joints switched to them. For a few years you even found people labeling them as pints on their menus, but that has disappeared as I bet the office of units and measures called them out on it...
That depends on who you ask, I'm almost sure I didn't order it, but their invoice said dark. They're pinning it on me, there weren't even beers involved on my end.
Looks like a consensus is not to use a ton of Dark DME in any particular batch. I see recipes out there calling for as much...
I just had a mistake with Austin Homebrew, I opened my package to find 50 lbs of dark instead of light DME. They are willing to return it but it'd be $50 to ship it back (out of my pocket.)
Anybody have any great recipes to help eat up some of this dark extract. Have an Oatmeal Vanilla...
