no problem.
will try to be part of the next barrel.

if there is room, i happen to have an ipa fermenting now (its been a bit over a week now) and would like to throw it in to the mix. i understand that because its not the same recipe you might not want it in there, not to mention that you probably dont have room, but if this can work for you guys, le...

when/how will the score sheets be returned?

thanks to all who chimed in with advise, offers of yeast, and a shoulder to cry on. i pitches a few packs of dry yeast monday night (about 30 hours after racking) and found it bubbling this moring. earlier this eveing it was rolling along. oh happy day. still not sure what the deal was. the mystery ...

all made an ipa yesterday and put it on second generation yeast that was already in the carboy. put yeast nutrient in, good aeration, the whole bit. shoulda took off in a few hours, but it didnt go at all. i have a bad feeling about the yeast nutrient - that perhaps it was mislabeled and is somethin...

three cheers!
one each for mom, dad, and baby!

the exchange rate is low
compared to recent years,
but the US dollar is worth more.
($1US = $1.11 CAN / $1CAN = .89US)
used to be as high as 40%

with the exchange rate
its only $151,731.80 US dollars

its best to plant in the spring - march is ideal for around here.
chances are the rhizomes would just rot
without having had time to establish itself.

for all those who were weeping over my deceased hop plants, dry your tears. they are back. i noticed a few 1-inch high buds coming back today. so for those who think you want to give hop-growing a try, know that no matter how bad a gardener you are, they are tough plants and take a lot of abuse. als...

nice job sean.
thanks for the effort.

and thanks to pete for running it
for all the previous years.

thats what i was talking about, cheap stuff at $4 or less per bottle. can find it in many places around town. talk to jeff j. about it. as for the taste, unlike john, i have not developed a sophisticated pallet for champagne. ive had stuff that went $15-20 per bottle, but was unable to appreciate th...

went to the topeka zoo today,
then swung by the blind tiger to sample your pils.

great stuff!
wish i brought my jug.

i recommend everyone stop in for a taste or two.

so do tell, how did you talk john into making
one of your recipies? did you help make it?
tell us the story.

after years of growing a variety hops with little to no harvest,
my hops decided to die this past summer.

they started out well in the spring, as they always do (did),
but at some point after a june pruning, wilted and died.
since i never got jack from them, i cant say they will be missed.

i didnt read through all of this thread,
so remember that when you read my suggestion.

given the cost of shipped EMPTY champagne
bottles, would it be better to buy cases of cheap
champagne - have a party - drink the champagne
and clean the bottles for the project?
even bad champagne works in mamosas.
