Starting this spring, KSB will be growing their own hops. I just ordered 3 Centennial hops rhizomes online. Shortly after they arrive they will be planted, 2 of them in the garden of Kris Sills, 1 of them in a location to be determined at a later point. Look for a small harvest this fall and larger ones in years to come.

We also brewed Beatrice, our Belgian pale that will be funked up with some Brett.

Quick update
posted by Jon
I bottled the Bastogne tonight. Gravity was at 1.011, putting it just over 7% ABV. It smells/tastes absolutely amazing. Great Amarillo hops nose. I also racked off the Biran to the secondary (we need the fermenter tub for brewing tomorrow night). Gravity is at 1.022, weighing in at a whopping 10.7% already. This is going to be a warm beer.

Biran
posted by Jon
This past Tuesday (2/8/11) Ryan and I brewed our Belgian quad, "Biran". This was a bit of a spur of the moment brewing. We didn't actually make the decision to brew until Monday afternoon, which didn't leave much time for the yeast starter. Fortunately we are still using the WLP545 Von Bora yeast which is a pretty aggressive strain. By Tuesday the airlock on the starter was bubbling quite well. I also made another 3 lbs of Belgian candi sugar on Monday.

Patience, part II

In the last few days I've been doing some research on bottle conditioning. I've found a few interesting things.
