Not to long ago we got contacted by Echo View Farms in North Carolina.  The good folks over there have several great local agricultural products.  One such product from Echo View Farms are HOPS!  In conjunction with Riverbend Malthouse they are starting to develop some all-grain homebrewing kits.

The good folks at Echo View Farms have asked us to brew up their Homegrown IPA kit.  It includes a recipe with three different malts and two varieties of hops from the farm, Chinook and Cascade.  They’ve sent us up enough ingredients to brew up a 10 gallon batch.  I plan to split that batch into two carboys and pitch two yeasts.  Perhaps some American Ale yeast and some English Ale yeast.

I’ll hopefully get around to brewing this one up this weekend or early next week.

For now, John and I chat about the project and what we hope to get out of it.

Stay tuned for a brew day video.

Cheers.
