    2011 Hop Plantations, Show Us Your Hops!

    :icon_cheers: Wow Chefeffect, your Saaz cones are heaps different than mine! Mine didn't balloon like most other hops I've seen and hid behind most of the leaves when growing... They look healthy though. I definately know mine are saaz though, just dry hopped a keg of Pilsner and can't stop...

    2011 Hop Plantations, Show Us Your Hops!

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Guess the NSW south coast climate is good for Saaz's. If I hadn't of mulched with grass clippings and starved the rhizome, I would've expected more...

    2011 Hop Plantations, Show Us Your Hops!

    Harvest day today! Mt. Hood at the bottom, Saaz at the top - standard doorway flyscreen. My hops must be a little different... they all matured at the same time no matter what size they were. Mt.Hood top, Saaz bottom. If only they were all this big! I know they'll dry out a bit, but how...

    2011 Hop Plantations, Show Us Your Hops!

    Growing hops is the best, man! These are my second year hops. Mt. Hood on the left and Saaz on the right: I gave up trying to stop the Mt.Hood from growing into the Saaz... Also gave up trying to keep bines to 4 on each rhizome... I read somewhere I should've separated the climbing strings by...

    Racking Canes

    When looking for your fermenting fridge, may I recommend the 'upside-down' variety...it gives you natural gravity advantage. I use a clamped 1/2" diametre stainless tube to sit in the demijohn at any level, which is attached to a 2m clear hose that ends at a bottling wand. Start siphon with...

    Plastic Tub Vs Carboy

    I started with a plastic screw top lid fermenter and quickly lost interest in cleaning o'rings and having them not seal for me. One of my mates got onto spraying his o'ring with food grade silicon which worked wonders, but I'd already moved onto the snap lock lidded plastic fermenter which was...

    's' Type Coupler Wanted

    I think these'r 'd' type CUB couplers. They have shorter prongs sticking out the bottom than the 's' type, but look the same other than that. Cheers anyway - they're a bargain for someone... -Oaf

    Everyone Should Make This

    G'day Neill, Does it make a difference how much malt you're boiling the hops in?? I thought you'da used all of the malt... I've also never used that much water - 4L with 3 to 4 kg malt in the boil. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. -Oaf. p.s. this is by far my favourite site. I've...

    's' Type Coupler Wanted

    Hey Steve -O, Do you supply these 'S' type couplers?? Noticed you said 'one in stock'... so assumed - albeit dangerously - that you can get more. Havn't had any luck tracking down stainless couplers at a reasonable price in OZ. Am about to start looking in (gulp) the States... Cheers - Oaf.
