What time of year is best for cutting rhizomes and trimming the root ball?

That makes sense to me! Speaking of airlocks, has anyone tried those silicon bungs used by wine-ers? :D

Technically, doesn't it cease being an "air" lock once oxygen is being sucked back into the fermentor?

Even if he used a full pound of Citra at $30 and $20 for grain, AND only got 20 12oz bottles (slightly less than 2 gal), it'd cost $2.50 per bottle. That seems like a great ROI to me! Plus, can you really put a dollar amount on something you enjoy? [/cheesiness]

I'm in the middle of CT and nothing coming up for me yet. I've got 6yr old Cascades that always do great for me, and 2yr old (this season) Magnum and Columbus. When is the right time to dig and cut up rhizomes or trim an unruly rootball?

I like the offset design, great idea! What are the measurements of the bag?

Here's a list of everything in the single bottle: Allagash Confluence 4/14 Castle Gueuze Fond Tradition Goose Island Lolita Hanssen's Oude Kriek OEC Artista Zynergia Solaris OEC Experimentalis w/ Meyer Lemons OEC Phantasm Sour Blend #1 OEC Tempus #2 Relic Darkness Falls Victory Wild Devil

December 2014 I started saving dregs from wild/sour beer that I like. The first were dregs from several different sour beers from OEC, a CT brewery. I kept them in the same bottle and added dregs from Allagash, GI Lolita and a geueze. My process from the start has been to flame the bottle top...

Same here!

Sorry for the duplicate post.

I'm curious why you (and others in this thread) think Julius is all Citra. In that same issue Nate says that Julius is a "proprietary blend of hops". I posted the following excerpt from the article on the 2nd page of this thread: Julius is brewed with a proprietary blend of hops. Lanier says...

Sorry man, that sucks! I always seemed to miss out the first year I started trying to get some. I finally was able to get a bunch of ECY strains over the past year and I'll keep posting here whenever I hear it's in stock at L2B. Don't give up!

For those of you who got Bug County earlier this month, what is the propagation date on the vial? The description for it on Love2Brew says it changes every calendar year but hasn't been updated since 2014. I'm wondering what's different with 2015 or 2016.

...it's baa-aaack...

My wife is more than "on-board," she reminds me all the time that I need to schedule an appointment to get snipped. I honestly do forget to call my doc to get the process started but part of me is afraid. They're my balls, after all...

Bug County, Dirty Dozen and Farmhouse available at L2B NOW!

I wound up seasoning mine with some pecan chips, then broke it in with some pork ribs and a boneless pork roast, smoked with a mix of apple wood and cherry wood. Turned out to be a great combination. My wife and I were impressed with how well the OSR worked.

I followed the North Star recipe posted by IPAAAA (3gal BIAB) using WYeast ESB yeast because my LHBS was out of WLP001 (and WY1318 and WLP007, too). This was my first batch in nearly a year and it turned out great. I kegged it on Monday night and it's already carbed. I need to pick up a six pack...

Thanks to a bunch of recommendations on this forum I bought the Smoker Roaster (OSR going forward) and received it yesterday. The instructions don't have any info on how to season it, so how did you guys season yours?

Looks delicious! Why skip the whirlfloc?
