Pliny the Younger Tapping on February 12, 2012. Chris is getting the crowd ready for some Younger!

After picking fresh Chinook hops at the Hippy Chicks Hop Farm on the outskirts of Downtown Palisade, CO on the morning of September 1, Chris and the Odell crew headed up to Ft. Collins to brew the beer. This video is of them punching down the 42 lbs of wet (fresh) hops in the mash tun. “We were using the mash tun as a giant hop-back. The aroma of all of the fresh hops was amazing!” said the king.

Chris spent the First of September in Palisades, CO and Ft. Collins, CO picking hops and brewing a Fresh Hop beer with the folks at Odell. He took this video of the boil shortly after adding the fresh Chinook hops they picked in the morning.
