Anybody gotten their hands on one of these? Interesting concept from Ballast Point... this is their Home Brew Mart Homework Series (#2 in this case... a Belgian Style Double IPA. 10% abv. 118 IPU. OG 1094).

It includes the entire recipe on the label, with detailed descriptions for all grain. A neat idea, and a winning combination and only $6 retail.



Not my pics... poached them from a FB friend...

Never even knew about this. Great idea that I wish I see for myself.

I see there's a cat interested in the recipe as well.

Pretty awesome they actually give you the full recipe with exact grains and hops and yeast. That grain bill sounds awesome, but I'm not so big on the hoppiness.

I just realized they only mashed for 30 minutes.

I rarely buy stuff like that when I can make my own, but I'd pay the money for those with the recipe included. That's sweet.

I noticed that they have some Mt Hood as a mash hop....anybody ever do that???

Everything I've read points to mash hopping and being a waste but since I've never tried it, it's hard for me to form an opinion. Some say it adds flavor and no IBU's others say its a waste.
Instead of me posting something about it here and hijaking this thread, I'll post some info I've kept around in a new post and we can maybe get some discussion going on it and who knows, you might get me to try it and give my opinion.
