Hello for Lantz!

Post by HopGrower » Sat Aug 11, 2012 10:22 pm

Hey everybody
I've been brewing for a number of years now, but have never heard of this site 'til today. I'm positive you'll be hearing a lot from me.

I still do the primary bucket/secondary carboy thing, but I'm planning on taking it up a step or 2 in the very near future (as soon as my brewhouse is finished being built.)

I also grow hops; Cascades and Fuggles are in their 2nd year, and Mt Hood, Galena, and Nuggets were added this spring. So far so good, as long as I keep picking the caterpillars. :S

I think it's time for a caterpillar thread in the food forum.
