You are the second person to comment on the green, and I'm a bit lost.
The hops that the homebrew store gave me were little green pellets that resembled rabbit poop.
I tossed the poop directly into the boil.
I did not use a bag, nor did I filter anything.
What went into the boil went into the bucket, minus the sock of grains I steeped before I boiled.
Should I have done something different.
The directions that came with the recipe, or the other 2 I brewed since then, made no mention of additional steps.
Did I miss something?

Fwiw the brew is a perfect amber ale color, no hint of green in it.
I've left the hop material behind in the brew kettle and dumped it all in the fermenter, too. They all have turned out fine.

Okay, that's what I expected happened. I always filter my wort from the brew kettle going to the primary, I find it makes transferring the beer easier if they're not around to clog the racking cane/autosiphon. But there's nothing wrong with leaving them in, I'm sure your beer will be fine!

I just transferred a Big Porter to secondary with 2ounces of oak cubes.
I am trying to decide what kind of bourbon to add. I am thinking about changing it up a bit and using some Evan Williams Honey!

Brewed up a DIPA yesterday, pitched with one of my last batches of Hopslam yeast. Used a burst hop technique with Simcoe, Amarillo & Citra, got around 85 IBUs. My efficiency on the mash was only about 60% :( so OG was a bit light at 1.071. Will add some honey to the primary after a few days.

I enjoyed my first bottles of homebrew while watching football yesterday!
Perhaps too many, as I passed out before the Jet game! :al
I found the first 3 overly bitter on the finish, after that it didn't matter, and the rest went down smooth.

I decided to call myself the "Nail The Whale Brewery", to honor the loving embrace of all the fat chicks beer has lead me to.
I also made labels for my bottles, and had a buddy design a logo for me.
What do you guys think?

ha that's awesome! and congrats!

Citra Otter Blonde went into bottles this weekend...I'm very excited for this one, it's my best tasting brew out of the carboy so far.

Half of my super dry cider goes on peaches later this week.

Austin Homebrew Supply.

I'm going to see about a chest freezer on craigslist after work to turn into a keezer. I'm sick of bottling and the girlfriend says all the gear can be an early birthday present.

I'm thinking four kegs to start ... :D

I have posted this before but here is a pic of my kegerator from a small dorm fridge that I bought off of Craigslist for $50. It holds 2 5gal kegs.
Best thing I ever did. I cant imagine ever bottling again!

Cider is in there now. Crashing it now, later today I add the brown sugar, non fermentable sugar and add the Champagne yeast.

I just bottled my first batch of home brew, a Fat Tire clone. I tasted it when I was filling the bottles and for a flat, warm beer, it tasted good. I now have a batch of Maple Nut Brown Ale in the fermenter which I just cooked up tonight. I'm looking forward to trying the beer once it carbonates and refrigerated. I can see why people do this. This is a ton of fun.

I picked up 3 ball lock kegs, dual gauge regulator and 5lb co2 tank from a guy on craigslist for $75 earlier this week. Still need a fridge or freezer, but I'm getting close! :banger
