Buck Stops Here Brewing

I'll be serving today at the Steinbeck's Home Brew Fest in Salinas. The beer is kinda meh but the pom mead is really good. Should be fun.

Always fun when the guy at the brewshop says, "Wait, you're doing what?!"

Left is non-enzymatic mash (think cold brew coffee) to extract all of the color and flavor and whatnot, but very little of the sugar; right is those same stripped grains making a non-adjunct light ale (sorry budweiser, no corn *or* rice). Same grains, same hop schedule, one 2% session hazy IPA, one 6% dry Brut IPA.

I'll be serving May 4 at the Steinbeck Homebrew festival. Hope to see you there.

I think I'm going to sour a mead with honey bee gut bacteria, then add some butterfly pea blossoms post fermentation. The extracted anthocyanins change color with pH. Probably won't be adding a toe.

Brewing a yet unnamed Sour NE IPA this weekend to pour at the Steinbeck Home Brew festival May 6th!

Kettle soured with lactobacillus plantarum for a light tartness, with tons of Galaxy, Mosaic, and Nelson Sauvin hops for a (hopefully) smooth and super juicy hoppiness.

Down the way, husband and wife home brewing team Jeff and Casey Buck excitedly showed off beers from Buck Stops Here Brewing such as their “Bologne Cologne Kolsch.”

Jeff is a chemical engineer while Casey is a teacher, but as a hobby, they have been home brewing in their Salinas garage for about six years now.

Just the beers I've made recently. Might have some of them bottled if you missed one you want to try.
