Second year plants starting to show some growth- the POR definitely has started its spurt- Victoria Cascade and the Mega Chinook (thanks again Hoppy2b!) are also starting to get moving, just not like the POR

Fair call. I find that with most of the ultimates- they are all great but replicateable

After having a summer of Saison and Australian Pale type recipes I have returned to the APA /AIPA for winter Did the ol JZ Epic pale clone and just bottled a Chinook/Cascade/centennial AIPA.

My very late two cents- use Briess if you can- golden light and Munich then add your crystal and caramber- makes a rad beer

Arrogant ******* was a bit of a stand out too

Manage to grab five different Stone brews last night from Belair here in SA- only cost me 37 for the five which I'm happy (ish) with. On drinking I was totally fine with. Really enjoyed the Go To session IPA - full of flavor for their "light" beer

Plus their ultimate (IMO) Wow Also tried the delicious IPA (very citrusy but very good) Their "normal IPA" also a winner and the "Go To Session IPA - which at 4.5% was close to perfect! Again IMO

Stone weekend for me Pretty good!

It's pretty surprising the change. My advice if you do do it is to decant it - simcoe could be interesting.... Citra too

I guess what im greeting at it that with a bit more hops, beers get remarkable better (al la the super dry experiment)

Freebees from work- couldnt drink them. Me and my mate decided to at least if we could make them better. One Topaz hop in each, left for two weeks. much better. Even with the massive amount of hop fragments. Footnote- I wont be buying SD and doing it again though.

Try popping a hop pellet into a super dry one time. Makes quite a substainal change!

Legs look ok, bit of scoring but nothing out of the ord I've had it fermenting a AIPA for two weeks which is getting cold crashed and bottled next week so I'll check to see what it's like then-if worse might shoot em a line Cheers Brett

Good job all! Have enjoyed reading this thread I did not get any cones this year due to poor prep due to work commitments- I did however end up with some good vegetative growth, so I'm hoping that should mean that they are fit and fighting ready to go next season Below is a picture of the hops...

Sounds good- I am planning the same Any one have any discoloration on the inside where the legs are? I've noted some on one leg

I've seen the earlier posts but how many people are taking their taps apart on the brewbucket/brewmaster after each brew? Or are most people going with the sodium percarb / starsan soak with the tap being turned often? I've only done one brew (Epic Pale) but am planning the next and just a...

Did a Columbus Riwaka APA late last year and ended up awesome- hops were pronounced and flavourful, but its still malty- clean and easy too Does anyone know if its a seasonal still or are Wyeast making this a permanent variety?

This is a grab off an email they sent me (I've been subscribed and a member for years) As an avid brewer and loyal Coopers supporter, most of you would be aware that some Coles supermarkets no longer carry the full range of Coopers DIY Beer Products and in some cases they have completely...

you can smoke anything more 'should or or why would i I guess'
