Star B Ranch Hops

Picked some Cascade hops on Saturday, 13 August at Star B Ranch up in Ramona, CA. They are $1 per ounce. Not so sure that is a good deal since the ratio is about 5:1 for wet vs. dry hops. Gonna make an IPA this weekend. They have about 2 acres of hops.

My keg setup

Here is a photo of my 2 keg setup in the refrigerator.

Brewzor for Android

Brewzor is a great app for the android phone!! The only issue I had was entering the equipment, style and mash profiles for a new recipe. I finally got it. Hold down the buttons from the main recipe screen shown here.

This is different from most selections like the hops, fermentables, etc where you have a dropdown to select the options.
