Hop Growing / Re: Wilting Hops
« on: June 18, 2013, 09:00:25 AM »
IIRC it's not recommended to plant hops in a pot. That the roots grow as long as the vines. Is there a place you can transplant them in the ground?

Ingredients / Hop stand bitterness

I've been doing some late additions as well. I'd chalk it up to hop type more than the stand.

Yeast and Fermentation / Topping Off
« on: June 17, 2013, 03:13:13 PM »+1+1 on not adding fresh wort a day later to a fermenting wort. Also, wouldn't try to hold off pitching yeast to a fresh wort over a day. Sorry for the lost... RIP spilled wort, but let it go. Enjoy what you can still ferment and drink. Trying to top off with fresh wort or fresh water at this point just means you will end up screwing up the 7 good gallons remaining.
I don't know about that. I mean I wouldn't add fresh wort after a week but 1 day? sure. and I hold off pitching yeast for more than 24 hours all the time. no problems.

« on: June 17, 2013, 03:03:36 PM »We do have a room! It's one of the ballrooms even, so break out some beers and make sure we have everything we need to have some fun. I'm trying to secure some signage to make it more apparent.
Awesome!

All Grain Brewing / Re: Hot Side Aeration
« on: June 16, 2013, 06:53:19 AM »Please report back on this. HSA has always been a hotly contested topic.
I believe it's an old brewers' myth, myself.
Having experienced what I believe was HSA, I wouldn't call it a myth. But I would say that it's not a major risk, either.
+1. I'm with Denny on this one.

All Grain Brewing / Re: Hot Side Aeration
« on: June 12, 2013, 07:01:42 AM »I'll definitely share the good bad and ugly on this. I'm optimistic but not going to claim it till the taste.
I really don't have an opinion either way except to say I try not to splash wort until I'm ready to pitch yeast. That being said I remember early in my all-grain days whirlpooling a hot wort in an ice bath to get it to cool quicker. Everything else was done right and the beer had an off-flavor. I can't remember exactly but it was just off. Upon research I thought it was due to HSA at the time. I've never had it again.

Beer Recipes / Re: German Pils - hop and malt questions
« on: June 04, 2013, 04:38:50 AM »I thought a recent thread advised against dry hopping with Saaz.
One person's opinion. There is nothing wrong with dry hopping with Saaz. My BoPils made it through regionals with a big Saaz dry hop.

I would go with all Pils and bump up the IBU's to 40-45. Hallertau at 5-10 and Saaz at flameout and/or dry hop.

So for those with the past experience, can you recommend a good time and place to have a Forum "Meet and Greet"? (not hook up)
How's that Jimmy?
