I got an email from a friend with a link to an Ebay auction selling "amarillo gold" hops seeds. Now the uncertainties of m/f growing from seed aside, what is amarillo gold? Is it similar in flavor/aroma to Amarillo? Worth a shot? Here's the link. Not mine, no association, just shopping...

TL;DR at the end Wife and I had a kid last August. She was stuck in the hospital for a while due to C Section and the weekend (weekend covering physicians rarely discharge on the weekend fyi). I took the opportunity to catch up on a few things since I took FMLA and didn't have to cover my unit...

Background: 1.128 OG Belgian/English Barleywine with my first 4L starter. I was already nervous about this brew: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f12/critique-my-recipe-please-358847/ I last saw it just start bubbling a little before I went to bed around 230-3am last night and when I went...

It's already brewed so a bit too late but since there's going to be a long long time between today and when it's ready for consumption I wanted to check your input on my recipe and maybe brew a "corrected" batch if need be. We just had our first kid at the end of August so I thought I'd brew...

I understand the impact of water chemistry on all-grain which is one of the main reasons I no longer do many all-grain or partial mashes, I have to truck in water from a friends or buy it bottled. I don't recall the pH of my water but I do know that it's in the upper ranges of what my...

Maybe it's been covered but a quick search didn't answer my question. Looking at builds and recommended setup it seems the ssr and heat sink is fairly standard. Why? I have several years experience designing and building control panels for high voltage pressure washers however my true...

I've got an IPA kegged that I just tapped about a week ago. It was force kegged at 30psi for 3 days, turned regulator back down and dispensing at 12-14. It discharges through 1/4" beer line over a 5ft distance to the tap. This is the first time I've had this issue. I'm new at brewing and...

I've got a pretty big ipa, og 1.086. In primary I had a lot of trub fall out so I racked to secondary before it started to clear. Now at 3 weeks (26 days) in secondary with a steady fg 1.018 at 68deg. But I've got a solid two inch cake in my carboy. The beer is fairly clear but I keep seeing...

I'm fairly new, I've done about a dozen batches since starting and I've always come up slightly short of FG. I initially attributed this to the basic extract brew process of diluting a concentrated wort. I changed to full boil and no change. I thought maybe it was my water. Brewed a...

Want to use for Keggles. Need 3. Near Chicago/NorthWest Indiana PM if you've got some.

I have one Ball Lock and three pin locks, I'd like to standardize so the cheapest way would be to go all pin-lock. I bought it a while back from northernbrewing and installed new poppits, all new seals, steam cleaned in and out. Located in Northwest Indiana (Lake Co) and not looking to...
