Can you elaborate on "as many as you can handle"? In relation to what? (Other than water) Can I have more than one bine climbing up the rope? Or am I risking a jungle when it's time to harvest?

I'm also wondering about trimming/selecting favorites. My Cluster is thriving, and little new bines are popping up all over. So im curious when to start cutting them off? Is it really recommended to chop them all and see which one gets up again??

It's likely it may be listed as such in my profile; I'll have to check. Great club to be in, made some good friends but it's a fair bit of a drive :(

I thought I registered as a No-Clubber. Yet I got written up as a Melbourne Brewer. Fine with me I guess but I haven't been to any club meetings in a few months due to other engagements and to be honest it's a bit too far from where I live (club meetings are in Ferntree Gully, I'm in...

sad i couldnt attend this one. i had 3 submissions; looking fwd to hearing about the results! thx to every1 who helpd make it happen :beer:

So...I got a refurbished (but mostly brand new) 3 ring burner and hooked up my BBQ grill gas cylinder to try an outdoor brew... But the flames were orange yellow and not at all blue, and they burned lazy... Resulting in lots of black smoke and burning the bottom of my aluminum kettle. I could...

That's attractive. I've got a similar backyard-fence-with-sun situation and you've just given me an idea.

First is Cluster. Sprouting quicker than the Victoria in the second pic. Shout out to Mardoo!!!

I don't open my buckets for photo ops. I open them to dry hop and/or add gelatin. I snapped the photo bec I found something odd. In any case... Tasted pretty unpleasant so it got fed to the grass.

Hmm. Wish there was a real way to tell other than "tastes OK", "smells OK". Don't really want to put it into bottles just based on my nose and tongue. How common is it for yeast to float up like that? It's my tenth brew, i don't recall seeing anything like it before.

Opinions please: Ferment stalled on this one at 1.018 so I raised the temp to 25c. Got it down to 1.009 which i am happy with, however I've got this going on in the top when I opened to dry hop. Curious if this really can be "yeast floaties" as has been suggested or if I'm looking at garden...

i would agree, in my limited experience with gardening, minimising disturbance to the root system is always important and would probably take precedent over attempting to get the zome an inch or two closer to the top of the soil. worst case scenario if you leave it alone is waiting a few extra...

been wondering the same thing. i dug up the soil a bit a few days ago and saw the root system building up and a few shoots starting to work their way to the top... but looks like they will be making their way slowly..... wondering if i put them too deep. i read in a few places that the zomes...

Whats the mulch for? to deter mould?

cool. just bought a frame for $55 +$11 postage. altogether $66 + $31 on ebay for new 3ring burner...cant go wrong!

thanks Sp0rk but im using a plain-old 30 L aluminium pot for an HLT/boil kettle.

when i said "ground" i meant on concrete. what can be dangerous about the concrete?

anyone have any experience using one of these cast iron burners without a frame/stand? is it alright to just put it on the ground outside and place the HLT/boil kettle straight on it? http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/NEW-3-RING-CAST-IRON-WOK-BURNER-LPG-GAS-COOKER-OUTDOOR-STOVE-BBQ-CAMPING-/141242967877

Gonna try this photo thing again now... You can see the Victoria and the Cluster in separate photos. Big thumbs up to Mardoo for these rhizomes!! Potted them in 52 litre pots with organic pre-enriched potting mix... Just wondering if I actually have to build any kind of wire trellis at all...

that is truly impressive.
