I’ve been a huge cheerleader of the HBC431 for years. Tried it in early 2016, and had to hunt it down. I was emailing hopyards trying. Finally Yakima Valley Hops came through a couple years later. Won a people’s choice with an IPA I make with 431, Strata, and Amarillo. Good luck with the move. Cheers!

Moving sucks! Can't wait to see your new kitchen though. Good luck with everything.

4.5-5% 5 litre batch pale ale grain bill for biab, any ideas?

I agree the calculators do not accurately calculate IBU. It is wayyy to easy to overhop. My wife doubly agrees. 😂 I have tried many different ways to calculate IBU and it is amazing the variation between the different methods.

[koplandavid]

why not do a 75c hopstand or a hoprocket or hop tea.

Do you have any updates on what the new brewery looks like?

Burton snatch is pretty amusing, but listening to you girls talking about growlers was hilarious (probably need to check Growler in English slang ) :D

Don't introduce the burton snatch to the London Richard, they'll be inseparable.

I am English, snatch must be an old English word. It certainly has a different meaning now
