From the desk of Matt Brophy, Head Brewer at Flying Dog Brewery…

Idea of an American twist welcomed. Let’s find a well suited American grown bittering hop. Idea of late flavor addition up for consideration. What variety and when exactly added?

Malt selection, good input. Considering a straight infusion mash, the suggestion of using Melanoidin and Cara malts seems appropriate. What ratios?

We will continue to take yeast suggestions, while we do some fermentation using some of the yeasts suggested.

By the way, we are teaming up with Wyeast to host an event during the American Homebrewers Conference:
