Bump. Just did the survey.

I run my ferment fridge direct off a Rasp Pi with a relay board, no arduino. Happy to share my code.

About $200 on the price tag is my guess. I was amazed just how many private health insurers fund homeopathy and not counselling, except for a few apointments with a psychologist.

just picked 630g of Perle from my first year plant. Cascade should be ready in the next few days, only about 150g on it.

Leave it to die back a bit, then chop it off at the ground or just above ground. Leaving it to die back wll let it draw sugars back into the rhizome for next years start.

So glad you said this I was going to remind him of his folly.

I was there last Thursday, was a great afternoon.

14g for 9L, seems reasonable, roughly 1.5g/L. Maybe a little light on. Looking at your spreadsheet you missed mentioning the 4g at flameout, bringing you up to 2g/L which is about right, especially with 13%AA, 2.5-3g/L with 9% in that recipe is moderate bitterness.

HPA aim for 24% dry matter before they pick thier Cascade. They are planning to pick Cascade on Tuesday, thier cones were pretty well deveolped, kind of stiff papery and quite oily/resinous, older plants though. Mine are a long way behind, two weeks at a guess and no where near the condition...

I can get some in the next couple of weeks. The benefits of living in Tassie.

The above comments assume the flowers are dry. If the flowers are fresh you need to allow for the extra moisture they contain. For fresh (wet) hops multiply by about 4, so 100 g pellets = 400 g fresh flowers.

On an open rack in your shed/garage with a fan blowing across them, this will get you to 20% moisture. Removing the 12% is the tricky bit I haven't worked out my strategy yet. There's a Basic Brewing Radio podcast on this exact topic 27/9/2012...

Anything which has roots on it will be hydroponic, Houston's cut leaf lettuce is grown in the ground, across the road from my Mum's house. A few years ago I was doing some book-keeping for a lady who claimed to be growing organo-ponic lettuce, I assume it was hydroponic without pesticides, not...
