I bought a CSA half-share (community-supported agriculture, twice monthly vegetable share) from my friends Harper and Christian at Two Roots Farm in Emma Colorado. They asked me if they could "buy" some homebrew for the grand opening of their CSA pickup and farm tour for this 2019 Summer, and of course I had to decline. It is illegal to sell homebrew. Instead, I gave a keg of this batch to them freely, because it is not illegal to give it away. This act of generosity is often rewarded with a gift later on, like a case of tomato seconds, or a box of some produce they have in excess, that I can preserve for the winter.
Two-row malted barley, Cara Aroma malt, US Fuggle and Northern Brewer pellet hops, juniper berries and Mangrove Jack's French Saison yeast made this magical elixir. Maxxing out my ten-gallon brew system with a total 30# of malted barley, brought this ale up to a 7.75% abv, which made for a very satisfying and flavorful ale.
Cheers!
