    I was just standing downstairs looking at my boil kettle and cooler mash tun. My grain mill looks at me from a top shelf in my garage and is sad because it's sitting idle. Had to take a hiatus when the kids were born but now that they're getting older, and I have a basement to finish for a man cave, I'm thinking about getting back into it. I might go pick up an extract kit just to give it a try again but I think I'll be making a keezer for the man cave because bottling was never something I enjoyed.

    A subject near and dear to me One of my sons worked for Elysian brewing co. and I had the pleasure of brewing for the day with Kevin Watson their experimental brewer at their Capitol Hill facility in Seattle. I brought a couple of types of home brews with me for him to try. He was a good resource later for recipe help. I build my own water for each type beer and grow some of my own hops (Cascade and Chinook). I make a clone of Elysian Space Dust IPA and their Dayglow IPA (I may of had some help with the formulations . I also make a Brown ale and a Porter.

    Happy brewing,
    Kevin

    How do you like the conical fermenter? I'm going to need new ones, and really like the food-grade plastic ones I'm seeing. I don't think the missus would let me buy stainless!

    I really like that I can drain off the yeast cake after 4-5 days and use it like a secondary fermenter. I don't use it if I dry hop though. This is what I use when I dry hop a big IPA...

    I really like mine as well. Drilled a hole in the side and added a small spigot to take samples during the process.

    What area are you located in? For sure you will get a few ponds next year from each plant if you live in a natural hop growing region. One note: be sure to not let them get too dry. They don't like that at all. Heat and slight humidity not a problem for them. I'm just lucky to live in one of the best hop growing regions in the world.
