28 Pound Hop Addition!!!!

And this is only the first addition.

Nice.

There went over half my current inventory.

Nice!! Topia, maybe we should raid them?

Did he say 28 pounds of Simcoe? Holy crap! I could make a killer IPA with that! :cross:

I could make about a hundred 15 gallon batches of killer IPA with that!!!

Yes, I said "28 pounds of Simcoe". What a rush.



The aroma was killer!

I haven't tried simcoe. But with a 11% alpha and 17% (very low) cohumulone % that would be an excellent bittering hop for any style!

So where's the other 16 lbs? You need an address to send them to?

When I was at Stone for CBC last month it was pretty cool to see that dedicated hop cooler. Of course with 1500 brewers wandering around the brewery, they posted a uniformed guard right in front of it. Pretty funny.

Yeah, I should have broken into the hop room at tree. Actually it wouldn;t be that hard NOW. .. ... nah.. I'm growin my own anyway..

anchor brewery in san francisco let's you walk by a completely open room of hops, they're just piling out of boxes on to the floor and by the doorway. i totally could have scored a few ounces with a swipe of my hand. ya know, if i was a thief.

Does anyone know how many barrels are in that "batch" with the 28 lbs of hops at the beginning?

So.. it's just a coincidnece that you now use the same hops as anchor in all your brews, and that you have been doing the tour a lot with a large backpack?

Hopunion is one of my customers

I need to cut them a great deal on parts for a few rhizomes

LOL


sorry

IIRC Stone has a 120 barrel brewhouse.

With 400 barrel fermenters.

Wow. I would have loved to have been there just to witness the magnitude of brewing on that scale.

Could you imagine fermenters like this in your garage?

Hmm...Inspires me to make a recipe:

Death by Hops IIIIIIIIIIPA
OG 1.052
FG 1.008
IBU Unknown to Mankind

A fermenter like that could be my garage.

I could imagine the post on here:

"Yeah, my beer has a funny off flavor, can you help?!? Maybe it's because of the plastic bag that dropped into the boiling wort when I dumped in the 28 pounds of hops?"

Yeah, did you catch that. The Brewer said "The trick is not to drop the bag in with the hops, Mylar melts". LOL!

One of my buddies did some beer school in chicago and ended up in class with some execs from miller - they told him a story about a strange off flavor they kept having around christmas time. Seems as if one of the guys was boiling a christmas ham in the beer every year. MMM...beer ham...

Ditto. I used Simcoe for bittering and dry hopping in my IPA. I'm drinking one right now and after only eight days it's excellent. I can't wait to see what it will be like after a couple more weeks. I'll be using Simcoe in my next brew no doubt.
