    Seeds in my hop cones

    Unfortunately I don't have any pictures. I cut open a few cones recently to see how they were progressing and I noticed they had a bunch of little seeds in them. I also saw that some of the cones had little side arms growing out of the cone itself. These are second year cascades I got from...

    Specialty IPA: Rye IPA Red Rye IPA - best beer I've ever brewed

    This turned out to be a great red IPA. The combination of Columbus, Amarillo and Legacy (available from Hops Direct) worked perfectly with the small amounts of dark caramel malts, and the slight fruitiness of WLP007 put it over the top. 2-row - 13lbs Rye malt - 3lbs White wheat malt - 1lb...

    20 minute boil - my experience

    I read lots of threads on here about the issues associated with a short boil time and all-grain brewing, but I haven't seen any concrete evidence that it creates problems. I put the theory to the test and hopbursted a Saison, only boiling it for 20 minutes. Below are my results...

    Four in the ground!

    Planted my four crowns I got from Great Lakes Hops last night. Two Cascade, one Centennial, and one Chinook. Haven't found a lot of info about hops in NC, so I'm flying a bit blind, but hey, I like an adventure!

    Dregs score!

    Like a lot of people here, I've started selecting commercial beers based on what I can make with the dregs :mug: Ducked in to Total Wine last night on a whim and picked up bottles of Fantome De Noel, Jolly Pumpkin Noel De Calabaza and The Bruery Saison De Lente. Get this - each one was $6...

    Columbia hops - making a comeback?

    The owner of my LHBS had a pack of Columbia hops open that he let me smell today. They smelled sort of pineapple-ish. Then another customer came in with a pale ale that was dryhopped with Columbia and let me sample it. It was bright and citrusy. Looking up these hops it appears they were...

    Sierra Nevada Ruthless

    Casually glanced at the bottom of the Celebration six pack case and noticed a beer I hadn't seen before: Ruthless Rye IPA Apparently they 86'ed Glissade Golden Bock in favor of this for their late winter / early spring seasonal. Cool!

    Shirron Plate Chiller - $75

    In order to fine tune my brewing techniques, I'm going back to a keep it simple stupid technique. The plate chiller cools wort to pitching temperatures in 5-10 minutes and works great. I recently recirculated hot oxi-clean through it for 20 minutes, so it should be clean and good to go...

    Is it the Aromatic I'm tasting?

    In an effort to produce better beer, I've taken a lot of steps to improve my process. On this last batch I pitched a big starter, fermented for the first time in my keezer, made sure everything was sanitized, etc... But, I created my own recipe. So while there are no off flavors and the...

    Brewathon - What to brew?

    Hey gang, SWMBO will be out of town visiting her folks at the beach for a week. I'm planning a Brewathon to fill up the pipeline and brew some beers that can age for a while. I'll have 5 nights and I'm planning on brewing for at least 4 of them. Right now here's what I'm thinking: RIS...

    Awesome SWMBO

    Even though she already puts up with enough thanks to my brewing hobby, SWMBO just bought me a brand new 22.5" Weber Smokey Mountain smoker for my birthday. I'm really excited to break it in. I'm worried I'm going to have the same issue that I have with brewing though - what to smoke next...
