Sierra Nevada 2012 Hoptimum, I paid $26 for a four-pack.
100 IBU's they reckon. It's pretty frickin hoppy! And quite chewy too. There's a real hop spiciness that I reckon blends nicely with the alcohol warmth. It's pretty intense, loving it!
the 'A' in AHB is for Aussie - not Alberta. Don't brag just because your grow-op comes in 6 months early(or late).
How's about mowing your lawn, eh hippy?!?
A good challenge indeed. You might want to start now to key in your recipe & process so you can get some great batches out for Sep...best.

No affiliation. I have spent money with both both G&G and CB (as well as my LHBS) and have...
OK I'm not going to pretend I've never plugged Fattie Boom Bah but generally I'd rather not be.
I have now bent all of my keg dip tubes to draw from about 3-5cm above the keg floor. I don't like cloudy beer unless it's Wit or Weizen and even then I don't want half a glass of yeast. With any...
