This batch is still a week young in the bottle, but very good. My hat to Walter, the scientist, for a desire to taste knowledge as well as good homebrew. How he is going to keep the dry-hops from tapping into his glass from the kegg, I have no solution other than an O' ring and a filter sponge/copper pot scrubber. Good brew to all. Get some in ya!
