I will be brewing 10 gallons of APA tomorrow. One to be pitched with WLP-002 and one Sat, 25 May 2013 18:52:13 GMT Zach http://groups.yahoo.com/group/coverthops/message/11491 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/coverthops/message/11491 Dropped by this morning! Brewing up ten gallons of brown porter tomorrow!

There was a brass QD on it, and I left it at the Wine Workshop. They said they would hold it for you. Joe and I stopped Sat, 25 May 2013 12:08:52 GMT Jeffrey http://groups.yahoo.com/group/coverthops/message/11489 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/coverthops/message/11489 Chris could probably verify, but it is probably more like those high demand hops are all under contract and unavailable except in small quantities.

AKA we don't want Sat, 25 May 2013 00:44:39 GMT Jeffrey http://groups.yahoo.com/group/coverthops/message/11486 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/coverthops/message/11486 It is really not very good, but I'd have no problem putting it in a few bottles with some carb drops. I might have to get a waiver signed for liability Fri, 24 May 2013 23:44:27 GMT Planet Scott http://groups.yahoo.com/group/coverthops/message/11485 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/coverthops/message/11485 Jeff, if you are unsure of the off flavor you should let some of try it. It won't hurt to keep it for a little while. If we agree it is ass, then you can dump Fri, 24 May 2013 23:15:11 GMT Daniel Howell http://groups.yahoo.com/group/coverthops/message/11484 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/coverthops/message/11484 Your membership is valid so long as the people in charge of CHS say it is valid. I can barely find time to brew for personal consumption let alone to pay to Fri, 24 May 2013 23:03:13 GMT Jeffrey http://groups.yahoo.com/group/coverthops/message/11483 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/coverthops/message/11483 It is less than 4 weeks away; it would be pretty hard to get something ready unless you have a new keg you could tap. It would cost us $50, since there is no Fri, 24 May 2013 23:02:09 GMT Stanton Girod http://groups.yahoo.com/group/coverthops/message/11482 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/coverthops/message/11482 Jeff, I have NOT tasted it yet. I will certainly taste it in a week or so. I did do some things differently from most, so we should be able to identify Fri, 24 May 2013 22:44:22 GMT Daniel Howell http://groups.yahoo.com/group/coverthops/message/11481 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/coverthops/message/11481 Anyone heard of this?

You might not have needed to make the effort. I know nobody but me (and that's iffy at best) will ever taste the Big Brew I took home. ~Jeff Fri, 24 May 2013 22:32:55 GMT Stanton Girod http://groups.yahoo.com/group/coverthops/message/11479 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/coverthops/message/11479 Well Gents, I just racked mine to secondary. I will let the beer clear a bit before I sample. I did notice that it looked a bit hazy, but that may settle out Fri, 24 May 2013 21:29:45 GMT Jeffrey http://groups.yahoo.com/group/coverthops/message/11478 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/coverthops/message/11478 I just took a sample and tasted it, and it has a definite, and not good, off flavor.
