It's Hop Harvest time..

The chinook hops were ready to pick last weekend, although this year I don't have nearly as many as I did last year. I've been getting questions about when this year's fresh hop beer would be ready, so with the help of Autumn and Tim who were visiting from Seattle harvesting I managed to start 11 gallons of this year's "Mystery Hop". Fermentation is going fast, so I'm hoping to have some ready to taste at the upcoming biergarten...

In other beer news a friend of mine just had an engagement party and I served my Kolsch, consensus was that it was quite tasty. We went through 2.5 gallons in no-time, I had to make a "beer run" to bring back another keg!

The other vines are slowly getting ready, maybe I'll get 2 batches of fresh hop beer made this year
