hops

OK, so I had a little misstep yesterday. I mashed as normal and thought everything was going well. I had the wort on the burner and it was just starting to boil. I threw in my hops for a 60min boil and turned my back for one second to set something down. Whoosh, the damn thing boiled over and...

I am relatively new to brewing and would like to learn about brewing IPA's for my personal enjoyment. I would appreciate any input that could be offered in the way of your experiences, web sites for research, and recipes that you guys may have tried. I am a fan of the Dogfish head 90min...

I just ordered 2Jumbo Saaz, 2 Jumbo Liberty, 2 Chinook, 2 cascade and 2 williamette from Freshops.com and I can't wait to get em. I told my swmbo that I was pissed I'd miss another summer away from home due to my deployment in April until Nov or Dec and that my hops were not gonna get any love...

So, I found this site just moments ago and they have an image a realllllly cool looking hop character wheel. Something like this seems very intuitive to me and I would really love to check it out, however, the image is extremely small and I can't find anything similar around. Has anyone else...

I just ordered three nugget hop rhizomes, was wondering if any Las Vegans have had any luck with this in our weird, acidic, sandy, rocky soil? I'm actually planning on starting out in plastic planters anyways but was still looking for info on what to expect. The temps get hot and dry here too...

I sniffed at a 1/2 ounce bag of cascades in my fridge last night. The hops have been in a ziplock bag there since mid November (I guess). In addition to the usual hops smell I thought I caught a whiff of something vaguely cheesy. So the question is, is that slight scent an indication that the...

I've got an all-Centennial IPA that I'm planning to dry hop. I've previously racked to a secondary and dry hopped that way. But here's the thing. I'm not real worried about clarity--or an extra week in the primary... So the plan right now is to give it two weeks in the...

Hello, I am trying to find some hops rhizomes to plant for my homebrewing, but here, in Spain, where I live it is really difficult. All american sellers I have found say me that they are not shipping outside US. Do you know any website selling american hops rhizomes to Europe? I am looking...

If I have 500 lbs of hops which I need to dry, how do I verify that the moisture content is at 8 to 12 percent? Is that % right anyway? I have heard 8-10%, 8-12% and 10-12% I know there is no measuring or testing hardware or equipment you can buy to do this and I am dealing with hundreds...

Tinseth, Rager, Hopville, Garetz, Daniels, Mosher, etc.... Which one is best to use or should it be some combination?

I'm using two different applications for recipe creation, Hopville.com and Beer Tools (only one that works native on Macs). I get to wildly different IBU amounts from each. Which is correct? I'm making Northern Brewers Belgium Strong Golden Ale extract recipe with some changes to hop amounts...

Im really interested in growing my own hops. I like dark bitter beers and love the taste of hops. I was wondering what kind of hops would be the best in a New England climate... whats a proven technique for growing them... etc... I currently have access to a greenhouse with all the good stuff...

Greetings to you all! I am new to Homebrewing, I have brew easy stuff, from extracts and recipes, at the moment I'm just trying to learn, and see what happens. My goal is to brew my own all-grain recipes! But, as a learner, and new in the forum, here is my very first question. I have...
