Hello all
  I am very new to home brewing, my first batch was bottled about two weeks ago. It came out very well. I have been growing hops in my yard for about 3 years now and finally decided to use them. I initially purchased them as a fast growing vine for a fence line. I have about 4 types mixed together so it is next to impossible to sort them as I picked them for the first time this year. I used them in my first 5 gallon batch.  I made a IPA 8 lbs liquid Malt, 1 lb Crystal grain, and Fermentis Dry Ale Yeast (Safale US-05) The result was a very good beer. I just purchased the supplies for my 2nd 5 gallons.
