My homebrew club, Pubguild, is going to do a group brew day at Barley Mow on Sunday morning. Really looking forward to brewing with Jay and learning about his e-brewing.

What time. I'm gonna crash the party.

Maybe I will try it again next year. My issue with it and pliny immediately were filtering. You dont filter dry hopped beers. And there is no way to get that clarity without doing so unless is sits for a while and loses the quality

You can, but you have to cold crash for a few weeks, dry hop, and then cold crash again. This is a beer I did wasn't filtered and had a stunning hop flavor and aroma. It has a little condensation on the glass, it is nearly as clear as Pliny. But I agree with you 100%. I had a Pliny last night and wondered what it would be like if not for the filtering.

True not impossible just hard. I always cold crash when dryhopped. I have had pretty clear stuff but when i go over say 5oz in a 5 gallon its tough. But that pellets not leaf. Leaf is another story.

What are you looking for and what is the date on those?

They just came off the shelf from RRBC last week. I would trade 1 PTE plus 4oz of Simcoe, Amarillo, or Calypso for a 6 pack of CCB Jai Alai in the can? Still think that is the best beer, even a better beer than PTE.

I appreciate the offer but I have a fresh shipment of Pliny coming my way.

I can get some port beers tomorrow, willing to trade for cc beers. I miss them so much. I really like the serpent stout from them as well. Can also get alesmith or stone.
