If lager is what you are going for, I’d go with the Saaz. Do you use any brewing software? What kind of setup do you use? You have some kind of fermentation vessel that can handle pressure, but what about the brewing side? Just trying to steer you closer to your goal.

Not much different than the spiel from Hops Direct, but it doesn’t sound bad. I’ll report back when I use it.

Anyone have experience with the Experimental 26 hops from Hops Direct? I bought a pound and am curious if anyone has any flavor and aroma notes. The website has some info here. I’m already planning some Pale Ale and IPA to test it out. Any similar varieties?

Fremont Brewing B-Bomb 2019 I got this beer from a friend that lives in the Seattle area. He brought it down years back on a visit to the LA/OC area. Pours deep brown and ruby, small head that dissipates. Nose is classic imperial stout with some barrel notes. Thick, chewy, velvety with the low...

Continuing my moving in and unpacking all of my stuff, today I got to organizing some of the beer things. My garage was built in 1950 and my grandparents lived here since ‘51. My grandfather built these shelves that are not adjustable and are kinda impractical for most things. He kept paint...

I’ve begun cleaning and rebuilding my kegerator. It’s an old GE fridge from at least the 70’s if not older that used to be in my grandparents house. I aquired it in 2006 and turned it into a kegerator. With my recent move it has sat unplugged for a month. Besides needing cleaning, it was...

This one is more of a “What Are You Drinking Out Of?” post. Years ago after my grandfather had passed away and my grandmother moved in to my parents place, I acquired a set of beer glasses that were going to go away if I didn’t want them. They were my grandfathers, but were still in the...

And now another beer from deep in the cellar. Anchor Our Special Ale 2009 A loud pssst on opening. Poured with a good head and carbonation. Aroma is perfumey and flowery. First sip is of spices. Cinnamon, pine and faint spruce. Spice fades to cocoa and roasted malt, toasted bread crust and...

I bought hops from Hops Direct. A pound each of Cascade, Centennial, Columbus, Idaho 7, Willamette, and an experimental hop. I’ve always liked their selection and prices. Back in the day their “pound” bags were notorious for being closer a pound and a half or more.

From yesterdays beer deep in the cellar, to today’s beer from a much more recent vintage. Sierra Nevada Bigfoot Barleywine 2024 I always enjoy these from fresh to about three years old with around 1.5 to 2 being around perfect. It’s good fresh, but mellows out with age. This one with one year...
