Brew day: “Get fresh with me” American Ale

 

I was lucky to be able to pick almost a pound and a half of Nugget hops at Ohio Hops in Galloway.  Nice folks.  Brian was great – I recommend him for all your Ohio Hop needs!  Anyway, I created a recipe with a single hop to showcase the flavor, and I think it will be a good one:

    when will you post the Scotch recipes?

    As in Scotch Bourbon?  Probably never - the licensing is very expensive and time consuming.

    Sounds like it will be amazing.  I just purchased some Cascade pellets from Northern Brewer for the pale ale I will be doing next weekend (my first attempt at homebrewing).  I was not able to find any info on an Ohio Hops in Galloway after a quick search, I'd love to buy local next for future batches.  Would you be able to get me their contact info?

    Oh well, if only you were a lockpicking ninja, you could get away with it...
