So I'm going to be brewing something either tomorrow or Friday, and I have some hops that I picked last year. Now before you all say, "No way man! Those hops are toast!", keep this in mind: Right after picking, I wrapped them in paper towels, and put them in a small lunchbox in the freezer...

A little insider info from the new Visitor Center Manager at Harpoon's Boston Brewery... Wild Hibernian: If you have tried hibernian before, or a saison, or a lambic, then check this out! We just threw it on tap today. Long story short it is a standard brew of hibernian (read on...

Back in October, we released a hard cider. Real simple recipe: Guy out in western mass presses locally grown chef's apples, pasteurizes the juice, ships it to us in tanker trucks, we add our house ale yeast and that's it. Now since we just had employee beer buy, I got a case of the cider...

This past saturday I was working all day for harpoon's annual brewery to brewery bike ride. Over 800 experienced riders pedaled 147 miles from Boston to Windsor, VT. My job in the afternoon was unloading all of the bikes and setting them up on the racks so that when the bikers were driven back...

I know there is another thread for this but since I'm selfish I'm starting a thread about what I should do for a Saint Paddy's day homebrew. :ban: I definitely want to do a stout, but what kind? I was looking around the recipe database and found some good Oatmeal and Irish Stouts, but no...

Did anyone catch the Homebrewing Good Eats on the Food Network last night? It was pretty good, but he said some stuff that was kind of odd. He said he didn't use a hydrometer, he didn't aerate the wort, only used bottled water (sort of unnecessary I thought), and also said dry hopping was when...
