This might eventually help end our barley shortages
As homebrewers, we've watched with some dismay as barley prices have jumped dramatically, along with most food prices. Part of that has been attributed to acreage being diverted to corn for ethanol production, and is probably true in large measure. Other factors include the increasing affluence and ...

New information about growing hops
For those who grow hops or are considering it, I have a couple of bits of information that you should find interesting.
First, most homegrowers have no idea of what the alpha acid content of their hops is; I've done a LOT of searching and reading in a LOT of forums, and up until now the universal ...

Re: Estimating AA% for homebrown hops
P.S.: Did _I_ do something to cause the need for hoizontal scrolling? If so, I don't know what ... but I apologize. Seems like word wrap would be automatic.

Yep ... that was me. :-)

New Yahoo Group is exclusively about growing hops
This is my first year to grow hops, and it has been difficult to find answers to some of my questions on the various brewing forums because it appears that only a small percentage of homebrewers grow their own hops.
