All Grain 5 Gal. Modified based on Internet Research and fact that I have a load of fresh Cascade Hops from my garden. So, the AA of fresh cascades is a guess, but since we have had a wet not too hot summer, I'm guessing the AA will be a little light. Most sites indicate a 4 or 5 to 1 ratio for fresh hops to pellets. Brewgr doesn't seem to adjust in that range, so I'm using the pellet measurement but going with 5 to 1 fresh. Not sure why, but we'll find out.

Notes:

This bottle still tastes grassy. I'm sure it's due to the fresh home-grown cascade hops, especially dry hopped in secondary. Still a good drinking beer.

Notes:

Still tastes a little green, but nice head, looks, smells, and tastes great!

pre-bottle beer tasted a little sweet, not strongly hoppy.
