    Lack of 2023 US hops

    Anyone else noticed there seems to be a lack of 2023 US hops available at homebrew places? Newest I could find was 2022 and I think I even saw some 2020 stuff around. Are they just trying to get through old stock before putting the latest season up for sale maybe?

    Epic's 5 – 10 – 15 Rule for Dry Hopping

    Garage Project Wireless IPA yeast?

    Anybody know which Brett is used in Garage Project Wireless IPA? Any idea if it is the non-brett brett (WLP644) or one of the other ones? Would like to make a beer with similar yeast characteristics. (tropical like, and not a whole lotta funk). I realise that it's a 100% brett fermented beer so...

    Bottle from 1958 harvestable?

    I've been given a couple of bottles of Victoria Brewery Bitter Ale. Best I can tell they're from 1958 going by the labels. From what I understand it's VB from before they switched to lager yeast. The bottles have plenty of sediment in the bottom, I'm wondering if it's worth me having a crack at...
