Just pulled a 1st fruits sample, after dry hopping.
I was so excited, I forgot to take a picture.
Dryhopped w/ Mackinac...nice.
Its crashing in the keg now.
Was wondering if anyone would catch on to the Mackinac name drop.Where did you get Mackinac at?!? I need!
Racoon Lives Matter! [emoji16]Second morning coffee, damned raccoons emptied my hummingbird feeder again. Should I give them vinegar tonight? Urine? Garlic tea?
Cool name. Wonder if they used lactose/lots o flakes then extract for the flavoring. what was the adv?yesterday was my first time having a "blonde stout" or whatever people like to call it. I've heard of them before, but never had a chance to taste it. A great local brewery, BeerLab HI, brewed up a batch called Jedi Mind Trick. This beer was light as a blonde ale, body of a stout (nitro), and the smell of cofee and cocoa. My mind and taste buds weren't matching up, it was definitely a mind trick. good stuff!
LOL, I don't want to kill them, I just want them to stay off my deck!
Once they find an easy food source they can plant there. Had the same issue with them in the Santa Cruz Mountains when we lived there. They loved cat food.LOL, I don't want to kill them, I just want them to stay off my deck!

There's an HBS in Humble, TX, called The Grain Cellar...he's got the hook up.
I live an hour away from there, but work takes me by there at times, so I swing in there and pick up ingredients etc.
He has a web page, and I think a blog too...good guy.
You can probably Google him.

Down here, it's a difficult hop variety to come by.Mackinac City/Bridge/Straits/County etc. are all just a few miles north of me
Well it might be extreme, but moving to Austin solved our Racoon problem..

I wasn't really looking for it, I just wanted a citrus hop forward IPA (more flavor than bitterness), and he pulled that out for me. I was planning on Citra & Cascade.
You're in the middle of it...you should be able to glean some from the fields.
