I just had my Hoppy Brown Ale I made 3 weeks ago. I found in the fridge a coupla packets of hops I had brought from Houston (we moved here 6 years ago, it was from 2005!) and threw that in, along with a package of whole hops I did not use in the last batch of bells two hearted IPA clone, and whatever the recipe called for. It was quite bitter but sorta mellowed out, maybe I got used to it. Probably not my best batch but drinkable.... Experimentation!
I got my daughter a brew kit for her birthday, it had a basic brown ale kit included, she decided to throw in some extra hops and it turned out quite well, better than my experiment! She is hooked now it was so good! --R (sent from my miniPad) On Jul 27, 2014, at 8:16 PM, Peter Frederick via Mercedes <mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: Lol, I've been home brewing for a couple decades now. You can indeed make decent beer at much less cost that the main line brews bought at the liquor store, and you can make things that were once unobtainable. In the last twenty years, the quality of microbrewery beer has increased quite a bit, but I still don't like super hoppy beer, so I make the stuff I do like, such as the recent Honey Blonde Ale that is getting rave reviews -- with honey from my own hives to boot. It's a great hobby, and not all that expensive once you get the basic gear. _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com All posts are the result of individual contributors and as such, those individuals are responsible for the content of the post.
