    What Is Your Carrry?

    I carry a Ruger CMD 1911 with Hornady Critical Duty in an Alien Gear Cloak Tuck 2.0. Really like Alien Gear. Very sturdy rig and comes with a bunch of extra parts to easily customize the retention strength of the gun. I agree with the belt being a critical component. A basic belt from the...

    What are these?

    Under watering is definitely not the problem. We have had huge amounts of rain on a weekly basis going back to the end of June, when the bines were under 6 feet. The male parts are only growing along the part that is touching the back of my garage. It is also the eastward most of the bines...

    What are these?

    I have tons of cones. The bine is almost 20 feet tall and full of cones. But, there are about 5 groups of these male buds. I got them from Great Lake Hops, but I found that Zeus seems to be more prone to this than other breeds.

    What are these?

    I'll see what I can do about collecting pollen. I have a busy couple of weeks coming up. PM me the specs on collecting the pollen.

    What are these?

    What should I do with them? Or what can I do with them? Or does anyone want them?

    What are these?

    Found this on one of my first year Zeus plants. I'm not sure what it is. Any ideas from experienced growers? There are several (4-5) clumps I can see. Just on one plant.

    My gelatin experiment

    So I bottled this evening; I am always short on time and tonight was the only free time before vacation week starting on the 4th. I had the gelatin at 67 degrees for 3 days, added 1 oz Wakatu dry hop (my family party was cancelled, so I get to keep it all to my self). I kept it at 67 degrees...

    OT: feral hogs and spent grain

    I dump my spent grains in the woods. I have trail cams out and split the grains in front of the cameras. I usually have 1 or 2 deer come by twice a week, but every time I put out the grains the whole herd is coming through the same night.

    My gelatin experiment

    I do have a chest freezer with a fridge setting that I could use. How about 10 days in the basement and 4 days at near zero, then bottle. When I transferred from primary to secondary, the yeast was solid at the bottom. So I guess most the haze remaining is grain protein with some yeast...

    My gelatin experiment

    So, I forgot to add Irish moss to my brew. I was making a Blonde Ale for a family reunion in late August and wanted something for the BMC crowd. This is my first time using gelatin to clear a beer. I added 1 packet to a sanitized coffee mug and added about 4 ounces of bottled water. Let it sit...

    My first hop garden

    I have been nurturing 2 Zeus and 2 Centennial for nearly two months. I started with great looking rhizomes from Great Lakes Hops. I kept them in the fridge for 3 weeks before potting them. I built a mini greenhouse out of an old wire rack and clear plastic. That kept them warm even when...

    Please critique my recipe

    Thanks for the feedback. I didn't think at all of Vienna malt. I want to keep some honey malt in there for the honey flavor with the Citra hops, I think those will pair well together. Maybe I could cut the Honey malt to 1/2 Lb, Crystal 60 to 1/2 lb, and add 1 Lb Vienna malt and boost...

    Please critique my recipe

    I am looking for an APA/IPA for summer drinking. This is my first DIY recipe. I have only used kits in the past. I am looking for a slightly sweet, moderately malty brew with moderately high bittering and big hop aroma. 5.5 gal batch 9 lb Pale Ale malt 1 lb Crystal 60 1 LB Honey...
