I live up near Pace. I have been brewing on and off for a couple years now and was wondering if there are any clubs or anything around here.

I just brewed a marris otter centennial smash and finally kegged a couple days ago. I dry hopped it for 2.5 days with 0.5 oz and I tasted a sample from the fermentor and it tasted like straight grass. I could see hop particles in the hydrometer tube so I figured that was it. I filtered them out...
