    Hops taking off again

    You live in the same area as I do, I'm seeing the same happening with my first year plants but second year are starting to die off. The weather starts to turn very quickly after Anzac day. I'd start to think about taking measures at the beginning of May but until then, let her go. I'll take a...

    What's your favorite pale ale recipe?

    Yep, that's exactly what I do, the subs happen depending on which malts I have on hand. I've subbed the malt bill a fair bit over time but I really like that combination of hops.

    2018 Hop Plantations

    Never considered it. Do have 2.4m spacing between plants, would be ideal. Thanks for the tip!

    2018 Hop Plantations

    I did experiment this year and took 4-5 cuttings just by pulling out the shoots and placing them in a raised bed. All of them grew. This coming year in going to strike them hydroponically before selling them off in pots.

    2018 Hop Plantations

    The first image is a chinook plant, picked 1kg from it earlier in Feb. Gets most sun of any plant in the yard (13hrs in summer) and it's in the ground, so I suspect that's why it's so aggressive. Second image is Mt Hood, not as much light but picked around 600g and they've both shot new...

    2018 Hop Plantations

    I'm hesitant to cut back my first year bines and that's based on where I live. I'm getting a second harvest and I'm pretty sure I'd be sacrificing some of the energy that will be directed towards developing the root system shortly after the cold snap is expected in a few weeks.

    Which beersmith?

    Why not use a cloud based platform like brewersfriend? The whole beersmith ecosystem is antiquated and designed to extract the most money out of those that still use the service. 100% cloud platforms are ubiquitous across all devices, access any recipe anywhere. I don't believe beersmith is...

    2018 Hop Plantations

    I watched that video a dozen times while anxiously waiting on my flowers. If I'd let my hops get to that stage I would've had onion and garlic and that's it. You'll know when they hit their peak, watch them daily.

    Newcastle Regional Show 2018 - Brewers Championship

    The score sheets i received from the judges were the most comprehensive and helpful that I've gotten over the last three years of entering competitions. Great work!

    February Meet - Sun 18th?

    I have a 15m section at the back of the yard, and bunch of rhizomes/cuttings that I'll either give away or transplant into new positions. I've been told by the boss that I've been limited to the back fence only so I have to be selective in what I choose/grow [emoji15] In terms of best...

    February Meet - Sun 18th?

    Nice! My plants went bonkers, I've pulled 4kg from them so far with another kilo or so to go (I've got quite a few plants). Ran out of freezer space so I'll have to make an IPA from the rest. Used a Kolsch yeast on my first real wet hopped brew, can't wait.

    Audiobooks

    Podcasts are definitely a great source of brewing related listening. I recommend you take a look at a few. You should get at least a month or two worth of listening out of these podcasts as some of them have been going for years: The BN Presents: Brew Strong Beersmith Home Brewing...

    February Meet - Sun 18th?

    I've just put down a wet hop pale that I couldn't contain my excitement on. Probably won't be ready for the next meet and hopefully lasts until the one after..

    Single Vessel Brewing - RoboBrew 35L Gen 3

    Is it just me, correct me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't this post be located in the AHB Sponsors Shop? Especially since KegLand started this thread. It may be different if a user posted some info, but it seems like a blatant flaunting of the rules. I'm seeing KegLand jumping in all over the...

    Braumeister Programming

    Once you hit the 'tick' button on a new recipe (ie 'New4') it then asks you to rename the recipe. Once you rename it, it then appears in the brewstart menu.
