An interesting article from the BeerSmith blog on hop oils and their properties.
A trend in modern brewing is the greater use of late steeped hop additions for many styles. These include steeped hop additions, whirlpool hops, use of a hop-back and even dry hopping. Surprisingly, most of these late additions are not done to increase bitterness, but instead to exploit hop oils which play a significant role in many beer styles.

I picked up a can of Double Chocolate Stout brewed by Wells & Young’s Brewing Co. in England at Homeplus and its pretty good! It doesn’t punch you in the face with the chocolate, it’s just right. For my taste, the Rogue Chocolate Stout over does it with the chocolate flavor. Aroma on Young’s Double Chocolate Stout is of roast, chocolate and perhaps a little licorice. The taste is a blend of ...
It’s been a while since our last meetup so if you have some spare homebrew kicking around or just want to talk shop and learn, come join us Saturday, December 22nd from 3:00pm until 6:00pm at Reilly’s Taphouse & Restaurant in Itaewon. We are also arranging a secret Santa so bring something to give away be it beer, beer paraphernalia, brewing ingredients, candy canes, egg nog, whatever. Happy Festivus! https://www.facebook.com/events/119389671558524/
The Fall Beer Fest is only a few weeks away. Here is an updated map with sampling locations marked.
I haven’t been to Homeplus in ages, but I was there yesterday and saw a few new beers….most importantly Indica IPA. A bit pricey, but when the wife says she needs an IPA cost is not an issue.

A group of home brewers have gotten together and brewed several batches of beer over several weekends (an IPA, a Pale Ale and a Cascadian Dark Ale). Each style was split up so the brewers could add their own yeasts and dry hops to make the beer unique in their own way while retaining the base recipe.
The beer will be given away for free on the day of the event: April 14th. Brewers will be ...
