here's a link to an experiment brewing an IPA using Vermont Ale vs San Diego Super: http://brulosophy.com/2015/02/02/hippie-heaven-vs-surfer-sanctuary-exbeeriment-results/ His results show a significant difference in outcome between the two strains, with Heady's Vermont Ale winning the taste...

when i dry hop with that much hops, i check it on the second day and if some are still dry I gently swirl the carboy until they're all in contact with the beer.

friends recommend taking the brewery bus in order to avoid DUIs and continue drinking between brewery stops http://www.experiencebrewvana.com/about-us/

i was listening to a Brewstrong podcast yesterday and Jamil's brewery (Heretic Brewing) had an event a while back where you could bring your own container and take home their wort along with a yeast pack.

of course it would matter. some news organization needs to get the actual facts out instead of allowing the parties involved to use them to put out their own spin.

we wouldn't be talking about this if Bells had a copy of a retraction on their facebook page.

If Bell's facebook post is true, then they should be calling for retractions from more than one reputable newspaper. People's outrage over this comes from news stories. If what they posted on facebook is all there is to this, then Bells could end the outrage by having the story corrected (ie...

...yup...

focusing on local hops and educating drinkers about them seems like a good strategy to me. ...but then, Portland really is just down the road. Our secret is.... full beards! a beer brewed or served by a clean shaven person just doesn't taste the same.

thanks for the link! i wasn't entirely clear on some of those.

I tried out Yooper's Hoppy American Amber as my first beer to make it to the bottle. after 10 days in primary, 7 in secondary, 10 days in the bottle...I'm surprised at how good it is so far! It's a little under-carbed. Hopefully it will carbonate a little more in the next week or...
