Try mashing a little lower at 150 and add roughly 6-8% wheat to your bill. This has always worked for us.

Brewery looking to part with cornelius kegs, roughly ten. We have no use for thesee as we deal in sankeys. Send PM, Thanks, Corralitos Brewing Co. LLC

The sizable harvests that Seven Bridges helped with were mine. Check out my pics of just a taste of last year. I have grown hops here for 2 years and now do it on a 1/2 acre size. My hops die back here in late Oct -Nov. Always the same every year. No year round growing but I grow 9 diff...

We are growing a large quantity of these in our hop farm, and would like to find a good description of these hops when brewed with. Those of you that have experience with these especially in Lagers, please chime in.

My 0.2$ is you should make a smallish Amber Lager with the strain you want to ferment the dopplebock with and make a nice starter for it. Build up healthy yeast with a nice strong first ferment of the Amber lager. This will get you down to where the DB should finish in a respectable time. Avoid...

to plant up to three in the following size box. We have been growing hops for 3 years and the first year is always the best to fill up a wood box with root structure. This is good because: #1 You can move #2 You get to keep all the roots when you leave #3 You can move if growing conditions...

You could say that!..and then .....say it again!

So I received my order today from Fresh Hops of 252 rhizomes. 6 different varietals. I also received my organic hop crowns(3 years old) of some hard to find hops on Sat. We are supporting our brewing needs and will be putting whole cones out to market in a couple years. Total planting will be...

You can definitely get by with a bike if you live in town. My brother in law lives in town and goes to Cabrillo. He cycles all over. A car would be needed to go to SF. 1 hour drive. Rent is expensive here as is everything else. A local seach of Craigs List will net you a small car for a decent...

The Red, as it's called, is decent for certain beers, but I've ordered an IPA and recieveda Hefe, and the server wanted to fight me on wether or not it was an IPA.......I shook my head returned the beer to the bar and walked out. If you don't know your product, you should'nt be selling it. period!

I've lived here for 28 years. We have 5 local breweries, 1 which is not brewing because of a floor malfunction. All the breweries are hit and miss as quality goes. Local hangout is 99 bottles but their food is horrible. Service is not the best either. UCSC is full of T n A! Seven Bridges is our...

Blender, good to see an old friend on HBT. We will be in a location yet to be disclosed as we still have quite a bit of work ahead of us. Our house beers will be done on our pilot system and therfore be quite the vast array of styles. We will be on tap at certain locations throughout SC...

So It's been a while since I have even thought about HBT, let alone get on and chat. Seems as though HBT has grown ten fold in the past 6 months since I have been on. Lot's of new faces. Nice to see that beer enthusiasm is still in full tilt. I'm Gabe, nice to meet those of you who don't...

How are you figuring the Alc% without a final gravity?

.12# of roasted barley...in 5 gal. Nice color!
