hmmmm... I'll have to ponder on this. I have till friday to decide. You always use a bucket as primary and carboy/better bottle as secondary?

Dayam! That's a scary looking ristra!

That was my first instinct but i wanted to watch it ferment.:P Guess the joy of watching it ferment isn't worth the pain of cleaning the bottle out?

Agreed. Your first thought is any play on words with hop in it should be a very hop heavy brew. Than after drinking it and thinking more about the name you realize that is an Illusion.

I was thinking the same thing after i finished the 5th one! I was like hey, it IS a hoptical Illusion. You smell it, the bottle suggests it... I don't mean it was a B quality beer. My grades aren't really objective grades, just my priorities i guess. Like if my A list beers were available for...

Can't wait! I can smell the hoppy goodness out of the airlock. I'm gonna let this sit in the primary for 2 weeks and just rack it into the bottling bucket and bottle. Let it condition for 2 weeks before cracking and tasting the first one. I've already got everything ready for my second brew...

I'm also trying to go completely homebrew. But i started homebrewing to save money and drink MORE! :cool:

Picked up a 6 pack of this a few weeks ago. Very citrusy and piney aroma. Bitter but not as hoppy flavored as you'd expect from the aroma and name, maltiness taking up the rear for a decent balance. Was definitely a good beer, i'd give it a B.

"You should see how he makes the donuts" Anyone heard that one before?

How's it taste? Did you order a plant from them or fresh chiles?

Wow! What did you cross the devil's tongue with to get the white color? What generation is that?

That's just crazy! Awesome pics too.

To the icebath then into 3 gallons of cold water in the fermenter. Waited till it cooled to 72F then sprinkled the dry yeast on top and let it sit for 10 minutes. Gently stirred it in. Here it is in its final resting place. 5 hours later i noticed the first bubbles coming out of the airlock...

At my local hydroponics store (homebrew too), they had kit with 6.5 gal plastic fermenter, 6.5 gal spigoted bottling bucket, airlock, rack and fill kit, hydrometer, thermometer and capper + your choice of extract recipe kit for $100. I've been thinking about this for a while and have been...

I liked the BP, was a good Oktoberfest but i think my tastebuds aren't ready for the fall and winter yet. I find myself still reaching for the Dogfishhead 90 and Stone AB.

Do you mean the fatalli was next to the tas hab last season and you grew from seeds you harvested from them? The fruit wont cross from being next to each other. Just their offspring.

hahahahaha

That's a nice arsenal you got there! That burger looks amazing, there's so much cheese on it you can't even see the meat.

Here are my first ripe Scotch Bonnets ever. Awesome shape. These still tasted kind of "green," i'll let the rest ripen a little longer on the plant before harvesting.
