Re: If you’re enjoying a craft beer right now, say a word of thanks to Jimmy Carter
He encouraged a Democratic-controlled Congress to pass legislation in 1978 that legalized home brewing. At the time, there were fewer than 100 breweries in America, most of them making the same tasteless schlock. Today it is not uncommon to find big cities that have 100 breweries on their own ...

Hopped Up: Brewing Beer with Fresh Hops from Kansas
Until recent years, Kansas and Missouri did not have a local fresh hop option for most breweries. Kansas Hop Co is changing that, delivering fresh hops within an hour of being harvested for brewers to put straight in the mash tun, for a super fresh beer.

Spunding Valve
We were talking at tonight's meeting about naturally carbonated kegs vs force carbonated and it got me thinking
Who has done natural keg carbonation and who has either bought or built a spunding valve?

Re: Sour in an Hour? Brewers are experimenting with white koji to speed up the time to acidify their kettle sours.
Ok, I might have re-read the Oct.co article again and caught this, they only used 10%. So the previous % might be for the rice dryness malt character mix, vs biological count
