It's an awesome brewery in Astoria. Great stouts and IPAs along with very good food. If you go, visit Buoy and Reach Break breweries too. De Garde is a LONG drive south from there to Tillamook, but nationally ranked high on Rate Beer because of their sour program and well worth it. Astoria is...

Of course, Stammtisch doesn't have any Oregon or Portland beers on tap...

If you are talking just breweries, not tap houses: Cascade for sours. Great Notion- especially hazy IPAs, but also imperial stouts and sours. Upright- farmhouse, barrel aged, sours. Breakside- everything, but especially barrel aged, culinary inspired, IPAs. Hopworks- everything, with a real...

What was the original gravity and what was the gravity when you last checked it?

Yep, solid 2 row, hard to tell from any other maltsters' 2 row. As described above- more malt grain/cracker/bread flavor than pilsner, not as much as pale ale malt or something like Maris Otter or Golden Promise.

Aha! Then- Ale Apothecary, Bend Brewing, Sunriver, Crux, and Boneyard.... did you check any of them out in addition to 10 Barrel? If not, next time.

Anhieser Busch??? WTF!!! I’m throwing those delicious barrel aged beers I bought out of my beer fridge right now. Does bleach get the corporate smell out of a fridge? Seriously though, there were tons of other breweries I wanted to stop at and Deschutes was packed to the brim. Add in I had a...

You know you could visit Anheuser Busch breweries in lots of other places, right?

OP said there was a boil with 1oz each Hallertau Blanc and Rakau hops for one hour. The info you listed are whirlpool hops after the boil.

How did you make $100 mowing lawns? If you used a lawn mower you spent money to buy it, gas/electric to run it (not including labor/time cost) and that has to be factored in to cost/profit. What if you spent $500 for a mower, spent $2 for gas, and made $100? You'd still be down $402.

I would give up on expecting clear, yeast-free beer unless you bottle from a keg. Decanting carefully with expectation of lower carbonation, too, could work. One possibility for containers is reusing plastic 2L or smaller bottles from soft drinks for your beer. They don't break and can be semi...

Well, we have like 70 breweries in Portland right now, so 10 per day and you can cover them all.

You're fine Antonovich

Most folks here don't bother with a secondary anymore. Hit it with the isinglass or gelatin and bottle/keg.

This would save me a lot of work. I'm in!

Posting more information might help us help you. For example: Are you sure these beers were done fermenting? How did you know? What has been the gravity at bottling, then the gravity after letting a gusher go flat and measuring it. If they are the same, no further fermentation of beer/wort...

Count me in, I'd love to have one of these.

Yes, you are stepping up the koji with the additions, similar to a yeast starter. Let us know how it turns out and any insight. Have you checked out the rice wine thread on here? It might offer another/easier method to a very similar product.

Breakside. Hopworks, Double Mountain, Deschutes, Hair of the Dog. Avoid McMenamin's and Rogue. There are a bunch more similar threads on the Northwest Forum on Homebrewtalk for ideas too.

I'm in, thanks.
