I have 5 nugget hills, many vines each. I purposefully did not give the nugget plants as much fertilizer as I did last year. I did not pick all the nugget hops last year because the yield was so high. I had 2.5 lbs and stopped. I can't decide if I want to harvest my nugget hops. I'll...

How tall are your spalt select plants? I'm surprised how my spalt decided to actually start growing a couple weeks ago. It doubled its height to be 9 feet now.

Does anyone notice a difference in yeast/trub separation when washing lager yeast? I'm having some difficulty washing some czech budejovice lager yeast. With ale yeast, I normally get a clear yeast separation and good color. The lager yeast does not look the same at all, it does not...

I am wondering if I can use bentonite in the secondary for my lager. I will have harvested the yeast from the primary to add back into the beer just prior to bottling so it carbonates. I have use polyclar in the secondary twice, getting fair results, but I am out and wonder if bentonite is...

A Centennial, Spalt Select, and Ultra rhizomes from freshops. You can get a centennial anywhere, but the spalt and ultra are unique to freshops. That is why I payed that stupid $7.50 for each of them, the Centennial was $4.50 thank god. Other sites do have good selections and have newport and...

I really want to trade for some Tettnanger or Saaz, if anyone has some. I'll get a cutting from any one of my hop plants. I have chinook, cascade, halleratuer, n. brewer, mt. hood, fuggle, zeus, nugget, and golding. If you have a tettnanger/saaz and might be interested let me know.

I have some hops listed in the classifieds. Here

I have 2 Bayou Classic BG10 burners. I have an old regulator hose and propane tank with what is a standard 1/4" mnpt X 3/8" male flare connection for the burner. The flare piece does not have the #57 orifice like the ones on the bayou classic website. I bought mine at Osh. My regulator...

A local liquor store got new owners and really redid the place. I'd normally have to go to bevmo to get this kind of selection. They have everything now. I picked up a 6-pack Sierra Nevada Big Foot that just came in today. That beer sure is bitter. Anyone else get some? How does aging it...

It has been 1.5 days sense fermentation started and the yeast is still going insane but I am getting no krausen. My recipe for an Alt style beer is: 5 lbs pale lme 2.5 lbs munich malt .5 lbs crystal 20L .5 lbs vienna malt 2 oz tettnanger at 60 min wlp029 germanale/kolsch yeast 1...

So I've got a Belgian Tripel in my primary. It had an OG of 1.077. I used WLP550 in a 1 gallon starter that was stepped up from a half gallon. I had airlock activity in an hour and full krausen in about 12 hrs. I've never seen so much yeast before. I really wasn't expecting to get that...

So I figured out that the yeast in my Chimay Red is 18 months old. Do I have any chance in hell of culturing it? Thanks

I have 6 nugget plants, a total of 12 rhizomes. I still don't know what my total harvest is going to be but I know its going to be huge. I just want to know if anyone has too many rhizomes and wants to trade. I know its the wrong time of year but I'd much rather have many varieties of hops...

I'm having a hard time drying out my hops. I harvested my Zeus hops last week and air dried them for 3 days along with a blow dryer. They felt light as a feather and super crispy. I figured it was ok to seal them, wrong. I opened them up the other day and got a smell that was nothing like...

Does anyone know what an overfertilized plant looks like? All of my plants look very healthy its just that the one that is the tallest and most vigorous grower of the nugget has some suspicious leaves at the bottom. The plant is 5 1/2 feet tall now. It looks like potassium deficiency except...

Does anyone know where I can get a Columbus rhizome? I've heard that hop union is the keeper of this hop. I haven't been able to find a Vojvodina rhizome as well. Any help would be great.

Ok, so I made some 16.5% alcohol mead 4 months ago that I back sweetened with 2 lbs of strawberries to give it a final gravity of 1.036. In the unopened bottle it is a perfectly clear light yellow. It normally has a very strong aroma and sour aftertaste due to my addition of many herbs and...

My O.G. of my Cyser was 1.100. It has been fermenting sense Feb 18th. As of right now, 11 days later, the gravity is 1.002. I have never had something get this dry. My recipe even had 6 lbs of honey in it. I did boil the honey for 10 mins. The airlock is still going every 8 seconds. I...

I ordered a bundle of 10 nugget roots for $15. They were supposed to be 4" long, so I was gonna put 3-4 per mound with 3 mounds. I ended up getting 12 roots, one of them a double twisted around itself. They are actually 5" to 9", basically what a rhizome is. Much better than the advertised...

I have mounts for the valve and sight tube on my HLT and Kettle. My MT has one valve mount. I was going to originally go ahead and use a SS t-tube so I could have a Thermometer going through all of it and then have the valve go off at the joint. I am now second guessing this and wondering if...
