This wasn't the Headbutt perchance? I had the same thought as they announced the Golden Ale category and I eventually realized that the lagers got swept in there as well. I believe what gets lumped together varies by entry numbers in the categories, so may change year to year based on what...

I get the older hops from HopsDirect because I'm simple and cheap. A yearly purchase of 6-8lbs of hops at $0.35-0.50/oz shipped usually does me nicely. Of course I finally had to breakdown to buy my first packs of Citra and Mosaic from YVH for a NEIPA this spring. Otherwise grains and yeast...

I'm not surprised. The malt bill is a rounding error compared to the hop additions. And more malt means more hops which means MOAR FLAVOR which means HUGE SALES NUMBERS! right?

I personally have had significantly better experiences running lagers at room temperature than getting something lager-like from kviek (though I used Oslo for the most part). It'll certainly make beer though!

Alternatively, I was issued a dodge truck that got maaaaaybe 12mpg on a 23 gallon tank. Almost got stranded in BFN Wyoming with that glorious POS.

At least he's got the left feet figured out?

I was wondering this recently as well. Since you'd desire a consistent amount of total oils in the dry/aroma hops, but most recipes or packages only list the AA%. So did the AA just slip, or is the total oil content equally affected? Just questions without answers...

This is how I got familiar with various 480V systems at work. Just stick your finger in there and don't stare at the arc flash.

Dear Mini-Me - I am well aware of our agreement that if you are dressed and have your teeth brushed before 6am, you can have a cartoon before school. And that 4am is before 6am. But you still have to wait until 6am for your cartoon, so go back to sleep. Sure, I'll wake you up - just...

Looks like it really greened up!

That's pretty much the gist, with the caveat that I am still assembling my care package for @bailey mountain brewer . Because I'm slow.
