Homebrewing with a S.T.E.A.M. twist!

Wet-Hopped Pilsner

Hybrid

Availability:Out!

Our first real hop harvest!  Straight from the bine to the brew.  This was a small-batch, BIAB brew à la Mary Izett.  The wet hops were harvested during the mash, and this is also our first experiment with a lager brewed at ale temperatures.
