I did a beer with only chinook hops in the boil and a big dry hop and it damn near blows your head off! Everything you described the hop flavor as, i agree! It was a bit too much but drinkable in smaller quantities
John, you mentioned homegrown hops, we need an update on them. I brewed my 2024 Harvest Ale two weeks ago, with my homegrown Cascade Hops (just west of Kansas City, on the Kansas side). The upper 90’s was toasting them on the bines, so I picked earlier than normal. Cheers!🍻
Root Shoot is great! Awesome malt and awesome people (I’m biased as they’re local to me but it’s still true). I keep rahr standard 2 row and genie on hand and like you said I use them for different things. Genie for more flavorful beers and rahr for things like pale/amber lagers
Thanks for the great comparison video. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again that I really appreciate you guys putting out videos every week. Not just any videos, but good ones. A little off topic, but in case you Dudes or anyone else watching didn’t know, we lost a great OG BrewTuber in Kevin Clements of ClementsHomebrew this past week. Check out the tribute that SJPorr put out if anybody is interested.
I agree. The Dudes need to upgrade the glassware used for tastings. Style specific, commonality. Need to compare similar beers in similar glasses. C'mon Dudes. Good comparison, but I'm still not paying for boutique malts. The world's great beers are made from basic Pilsner malts and Pale malts. If it floats your boat, by all means go boutique. My guess is that your buddies at the tap in your garage won't detect one bit of difference. Cheers.
My experience, in brewing with malt from smaller malt producers, it makes a noticeable difference in flavor and flavor intensity. Some beers might not need as strong of a malt flavor, it just depends like everything in brewing.
I don't understand how this channel doesn't have way more followers. Always great information. Thank you, Dudes.
They don’t show enough skin 😛
Agree. One of my favourites. No idea why. Definitely love the info and stuff they do
Yeah! More malt smash’s! I did a smash beer one time to explore malt rather than a hop variety too and it helped me learn a ton. Cheers dudes!
Ohhh love that your showing of my home terroir from Loveland, CO!
Always well done and interesting, gents 👏 👍
Excellent video!

Root Shoots Double Honey is nice as well.
I bought a bag of the genie and 10lbs of the Pilsner malt . I loved the genie , great flavor . The Pilsner for some reason gave me Belgium note .
Totally agree with your notes .
I tried this with Briess and Rahr Pilsner malts.
Was cold crashing them both when the Rahr carboy failed. All over my kitchen. At 5am
Glassware matters?
