Thanks for the link. It will be very helpful. I'll be coming back off the road on the 22d of DEC and may try to construct it then. It will definately reduce my cost just in extract alone. I have a few other plans for the spring as well. I have the perfect spot for planting hop rhizomes and will be planting Tettnanger, Hersbrucker, Hallertauer, Cascade and Fuggles. I will have to do some research on how to test for AA content in fresh hops but that is a bit down the road.
I can't decide on whether I want to screw with raising hops or not. As I understand it, it is tough to determine the AA thus making them better candidates for aroma hops. Maybe I can learn from your experience.
