Maybe "Little Licker RyePA." My Front Porch Ale had a skunk on it and people balked.

Wowwwww! I'm getting excited for Spring!!!

I'm not sure my friends would go for "Dog Slobber Rye" but I think they'll go for "Stella's Imposition RyePA." Her pic will be on the label.

WOOT! Go and have a GREAT time!

Pulled the trigger. I'll keep you posted. All I have on that circuit is my keezer with a Johnson controller, and my Williamswarn, which actually pulls very little.

Me too. And when it's gone, it's gone.

Thanks for the caveats. I'm thinking it might just be better to upgrade the probable circuit to 20A and be done with it. I really, REALLY don't want a fire.

I have a Zymatic, and it's great for 2.5-gal batches. It lets me focus on other things (school) while it takes my recipes through the brew cycle. With brew size being limited, most times I brew twice to get 5 gallons total. Hops additions are also limited, and efficiency can be low in some programs....

The 2nd story deck is exactly what I use. I ran a twine through an eye hook at the top of each post. Then I let it out every couple weeks so the top of the bine was always climbing up. I read that on a "growing hops in a pot" article somewhere. Seemed to have worked. Thanks, I looked that...

Mortadella... Mmmmm...

Dogs were outside playing in the snow. Dog door is accessible in case they get too cold. I'm getting ready to brew a Mosaic Rye, so I crushed the grains into a bucket. Went downstairs to the basement to retrieve my hops from the keezer. When I came up, Stella was testing the grain bill for me. I thi...

I just ordered some cascade hops rhizomes. My back deck is about 6-7 feet off the ground, and I figure I can run trellis lines up beyond that, following the deck rail.

Anybody got any general advice? (i know, I know, I should be careful issuing such an open invitation!)

Maybe try this?

I am, but cheating inside. I'm trying to decide on a pilsner or a IIPA. The holiday sales have me loaded up on ingredients. I haven't made a pils in awhile. Add some nice Motueka hops for good measure...

I played acoustic guitar as a teenager, but what I really wanted to play was banjo. Couldn't afford one, though. Now I have a ukulele that I horse around with. I know enough chords to figure out the old songs my dad used to sing in the car, but I'd love to take some lessons and stop playing like a h...
