On a different topic, I've been considering building a kegerator but it doesn't make much sense to do so unless I also get kegs full of my own homebrew. So this is my new project project, convincing myself it must be done.
several weeks ago I noticed i had some Chinookk hops in the fridge that had been there a while so I decided to getr rid of them. The best way to disppose of errant hops is to combine them with boiling wort and ferment. I decided to make a 2 gallon batch of an amber ale with only Chinook hops. It was a DME batch with some crystal 80 and I decided that I would add a bit of maltodextrine for some body. Today I tasted this concoction it is actually fantastic. I really didnt think much of this beer, it was kinda thrown together around this bag of leftovers with questionable quality but the result is really terrific.
