    My Hops Have Run Out Of String

    Hey all, I've setup 4m strings for my hop bines to climb and now the first of them has reached the end. At the moment they are growing about 20cm per day so I'm wondering what to do. Should I let them just grow or should I trim at the top? Cheers

    Viennale?

    I make a 100% Vienna malt ale with hallertau hops. It goes down pretty well. I mash a 65 and target 20 ibus. Ferment out with s04

    Big Hop Aroma.

    Personally, my thoughts are your hop amounts don't reflect a west coast ipa which is what I think your after. Bump up your 5min to around 3g/l and your dry hop 4g/l. I also agree double your 30 and move that to 5. One of my mate makes a killer ipa and he uses 360g of hops for a single batch...

    Accidental Overpriming: Which Bottles Can Handle It?

    Another option besides Burping your bottles is to get them to the carb lvl you want then stick them in the fridge. This will slow Tue yeast down to almost nothing. If you've do a fat yak clone. You shouldn't notice 1/4 teaspoon of sugar in your beer

    2l Swing Top Bottles.

    I bought one of the grolsh magnums at the start of the year at dans. They had a deal for a set of three. If they do that this year make sure to buy 3. If you buy one you'll regret not getting more. They're so handy and always get a comment. Only problem is you need to drink the beer which comes...

    Transplanting A Hop Plant At Wrong Time Of Year

    Hey all, I planted my first rhizome this year in a place I thought would get lots of sun. Due to a couple of factors this isn't the case and my plant was only getting around four hours of direct sunlight. The hop has sprouted ok but is not growing at a normal rate. Being impatient I decided to...

    Added some hops and did some more work to the beer. Still need to add the condensation and a bit of froth on the top. Cheers, Alex

    Slab Logo Development

    Thats sound like a good idea. Heres the logo post lunchbreak. Still need to add glass condensation, bubbles, head, Hops and make it all a bit brighter. Also the glass still needs a bit of work but no longer looks like a schooner. Cheers, Alex
