Ummm.... Yes, absolutley, yes... I've really been wanting to head down to Yakima or Prosser and pick up some fresh hops. Although, I don't think you get people standing on the side of the road selling hops like you do with cherries. So, I wouldn't even know how to go about buying such a small amount of hops. My guess is most farmers wouldn't even care if I went and snipped a few ounces out of a line or two. Any idea on how long they keep if they're not vaccuum packed?

OMG that beer sounds amazing! Good luck! The only black ale (lager so not really an ale) that I've had was Sessions Black from Full Sail. It was decent, nothing to write home about but I'd drink it again. I'd love to find this Vertical Epic somewhere...
If I had the room to do all-grain I would definitely try this beer out. Good luck if you decide to brew it! |

If anybody needs a taste-tester, let me know.
I used to be a professional coffee tester, so I know my ****. And like beer. So yeah. |

Well, I picked my fresh hops last night from a co-worker's neighbor!! I have 3 x 1 gallon bags of Cascades and 1 x 1 gallon bag of unknown hops. Alpentalic, if you want to meet up and grab a bag of the cascades, you're more than welcome to. I will be out of town this weekend but let me know if you want to! I'm also going to be getting a rhizome or two from the guy so I can try to grow my own too!

Presenting the Krausen that would not die....wow. This is the first time i've had the krausen stay around for so long. Going on day 14...I've never had one go over 7 days. Anything to worry about?

I've used liquid yeast twice and both times it took forever to take off and both times the krausen hung around for much longer than a week. The second time it took so long to take off that it got infected and I had to throw the batch out. Never using liquid yeast again.

Just saw this thread.. All I can say is Mr. Beer FTL!
I got a Mr. Beer home brewing kit for Christmas like 2 years ago and EVERY batch I made with it has tasted like absolute ASS. Followed the instructions to a "T" and it never works out. Next time I get the hankering for brewing my own suds, I'm going about it the right way. |

I actually ended up getting a Brewers best kit which came with a 6.5 gallon bucket and a 5 gallon glass carboy plus all the autosiphon stuff, wire brushes, bottline wand, and bottleing bucket. After brewing my first kit (Brewers best Oktoberfest), i purchased a 6 gallon Better bottle, a large bottle of Star san and started a brewers best hybrid. I bought the english brown ale kit but bought different hops (fuggle and another english one) and then used liquid yeast.
The oktober fest is done and tasting pretty good. The Brown ale should be done in about two weeks. Going to start a Stout pretty soon. This is definitely a fun and rewarding hobby. Quote:

Legit kegerator. I've only done two batches of beer.
I'm more of a wine kinda guy. Easy stuff. |
