Home Brew

OK, I just went & checked the neglected tubs for you.

It looks like the Cascade isn't going to play, as there are no bines above the surface this year. So, I have Goldings, Fuggles, Mt Hood, Hallertauer Hersbrucker & Chinook available.

If anyone's interested, I'm happy to dig-up the crowns & send-out 'zome cuts for the cost of postage (probably about $15). PM me to haggle

Galaxy was very popular many years ago, but you can't get 'zomes of it, as it's a proprietary strain (unless you know of a commercial operation that's growing them & can jump the fence in the dead of night & dig 'em up).

I'm impressed and scared of your setup at the same time @Beil it looks like a lot of work!

I finally got motivated to start again. 2 good runs in and then forgot to put spunding valve on fermenter for most recent. Came home to an exploded mess couldn't imagine how many fuck ups I'd have starting from scratch. Although I am very interested in getting hold of some hops rhizomes if anyone knows someone or has any growing..?

Another question I had for other brewers, what hops are your go to's? I am a sucker for galaxy it is just too nice

Cheers, haven't been able to brew much since setting up, lots of home renovations so the shed is full of stuff .

Yeah, pressure will make a mess, fortunately haven't blown anything up yet lol.

Hops for me are dank and citrus, but really depends on the brew. Citra is my go to, used that for lots of neipas, but for pales and that stuff like cascade and centennial can't go wrong

For hops, this guy sells them, but I think he's almost sold out.
He has stuff like cascade, centennial, columbus and a few more of the non-propietry ones.
