Pin lock socket

You can buy a pin lock socket for $12-25 like this http://www.midwestsupplies.com/pin-lock-ratchet-socket.html

Or you can pay 99¢ at your local 99¢ store and use a saw to make the slots like this cheap version!

Just picked my hops

Picked about 6 ounces of my Nugget hops from my front yard today. Still have to pick the backyard in a few days.


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.
