    Should I be thinning out my Hop rhizomes?

    should I? I have a 4' x 8' x 2' raised bed for my 4th year cascades and they have done quite well for me, but they are just a thick mess of bines by the second week of growth in the spring. I cut back at least half of the bines that break the surface, but they are impossible to keep seperated...

    Red Hare lager ( new brewery in GA)

    Before I complain i must say that my first experience with this new brewery ( EST Feb/12) was great. I had a fresh IIPA from a TGIF of all places that was spot on for flavor, aroma, and overall balance. So when I see a Red Hare lager at my favorite place to try beers I decided to try it to wash...

    Thoughts on first glass of mead

    First I'll go ahead and say that this was very first glass of any mead and it was a commercial version. (Redstone Black Raspberry Melomel) I actually have two seperate gallons of mead brewing in the closet now, but I jumped at the chance to try one when I saw the commerical version. It is dry...

    the strangeness of beer results

I fermented as a normal and when it came time to transfer to kegs of course 1 keg ended up with just 2 gallons i it. Fast forward 3 months and I had totally forgot that i had done that was thinking almost...

    Beer store irony

    I have local large beer store down the street that has a very nice craft beer selection. For the most part if it is available in the state , they have it there. However, I noticed today that they have an entire row of craft beers (BIG row) that is not refridgerated, but yet they have an...

    20 beers. No hangover?

    I'm a bit worried that I can handle beer like that. I only weigh ~150 lbs and I can drink like a fat alcholic. I generally drink 1-2 like 3 days a week and a 6er once a month or so, but I murdered a keg (6% ABV) of homebrew Sunday and I felt great the next day. Anyone else love the brew a little...

    Taps come on too easily

    Sweet!! Just put in the first two taps of my soon to be 4 tap kegerator, but I am having a minor issue. I can fart( or lightly bump the fridge) on the taps and they shoot out beer. Anyone have any quick tips for stiffening them up a bit?

    3rd year hops advice

    Alright so technically they are not 3rd year, but they are certainly growing like they are.( 1' tall already) Last year I dug up a huge mound of them from a well established patch and planted at the house in a raised bed so we are talking about 40+ rhizomes/crowns. I just took down the raised...

    is it sour or soured?

    I took 1/2 batch of summer wheat and put in on top of 2lbs of vodka soaked blackberries. I left it there for a little over 3 weeks and bottled. I had an oil slick look about it, but I figured that was because I had left it on the berries so long.The beer tastes fine, but it has quite a sour...
