Hi guys. The 225g of honey was used for 22 litres after leaving the trub behind. 225g of honey is based on there being 80g fermentable sugar in honey and I normally use 180g dex. I used a small container on top of a pair of pocket scales to weigh it and then put it in a saucepan and added 500ml...

Anyone still searching on bulk priming with honey I think I have cracked it! 2 weeks ago I bulk primed a honey wheat beer ready made wort with 225g of Tasmanian organic leatherwood honey. Did the tests and it turned out to be 6.2% alc. just cracked one open after 2 weeks bottled and the tastte...

Ok, thanks fellas ill just leave it be.

I have a POR that has to runners coming out. The first runner lost its growing tip to a snail or some other leaf eating bug and the other one is kinda small and skinny. Both have come to a grinding holt and not growing. I was thinking about cutting the vine with no growing tip and concentrating...

The chinook has already outgrown my 5 week old POR in a little over a week. The vine is much thicker too. This variety is a beast!

If its stopped growing I think that means the plant is concentrating on growing its roots down below. Just be patient, I think that's what my POR is doing right now as it got to around 2 feet high and slowed right down. I have a new problem now.... Where should I plant these 2 extra chinook...

Just when I thought all hope was gone and I've gone out to plant my back up chinook rhizomes I received off Adelaide brewers dr smurto I found a thriving chinook plant with about 3 shoots coming out of the ground, so bloody happy!!!

Very disappointed..... What I thought was my chinook rhizome sprouting turned out to be just a weed.....Dug up the rhizome and it was pretty much rotted away..., Still waiting for my 2 extra chinook rhizomes from dr smurto from brew Adelaide forum to show up. Hope these ones grow. Least I got...

Awesome! That's reassuring news! It's only been a few weeks and there is 2 tiny little shoots so they are growing, just need a bit more patience. I'm hearing many good things about this chinook variety, I absolutely love the taste of it in tower 10 and it also go's really well dry hopped in my...

Thanks guys, ill take your advice and sit back and have a homebrew Cheers,

I hope they do grow like the triffids! ....nothing wrong with a plague of hops, Cheers,

That is a good coincidence! The POR has been growing rapidly the last 3 weeks and I'm very happy with it, did you get much yield from them the first year? and roughly how tall did the POR get the first year?

Hi guys, I bought some nice rhizomes off eBay about 6 weeks ago, I got a Chinook and a POR. The POR popped up in about 2 weeks after they were both planted and the shoots on the POR were very thick and strong looking and growing fast but the chinook took about a month to pop up and the shoots...

Ditch the yeast that comes with the cans, the 11g ale yeast is all you need for a 23l batch.

Tower 10 IPA, absolutely love this beer, i bought myself a chinook rhyzome after trying this stuff.
