May I suggest an IPA...?

Our grain order was picked up yesterday and we split everything up. Even doing half pound bags instead of smaller bags, I still probably spent an hour running the foodsaver.

8 ounces of Chinook. Some varieties like northern brewer seem to be a lot drier/flakier. You can see the carnage that caused around the scale

Anyway, we should be set for awhile. I only picked up 3 bags of grain because I still have quite a bit left from our last buy. It was a ton of fun, and the microbrewery operator we hooked up with to get our grains from was a super cool guy.

Wish I would of known about this as I was just in Chico over break. Oh well it wouldn't of been here in time anyway. Which microbrewer did you go through? I wasn't aware that any were left in Chico

We got the grain from western pacific in Oroville. Previous bulk orders were from the homebrew store in Redding. It's an awesome place and the owner is a cool guy, but Oroville just worked better at 1/4 of the time to drive.

We are trying to organize another group brew day now that everyone is stocked up. And you man, you're ALWAYS invited! I think almost everyone is brewing this weekend, but separately. We'll get together and figure out a good date and let you know. Cheers!

Wow. That is a boat load of hops. Its cool that you were able to order together to save on shipping too. Good idea!
