I'd love to see some pics, JY. You could email them to me if you like and I'll post them, since Reg seems to be having trouble with his email.

I've send to you about 12 pics yesterday ( hop and brewing equipment), it look to be a big problem to get it :(
with our beer club we're making a web site wich could be working in a month, at that time it willl be easier to get pictures ;)

I didn't get any email.

I'm having problems with emails from the forum at the moment; I'm beginning to wonder if it's an NTL problem. :rolleyes:

I've packed my hop per 100gr about 3 weeks now.
and I've got, after I've dried it, 1.120 kg. I keep it in the fridge B) ( it souldn't stay longer :lol: )

I've been brewing today and used my own hop :rolleyes:
I've used "columbus" which is a variety given for 14 to 16%AA, so I decided it will be 14% <_<
The EBU would be about 30, I'll compare with the other beers I used to do :P
