Ted - this blog rules. I started brewing again a few months ago after a several year hiatus. I'm trying to organize/host a homebrew party/tasting sometime this summer in Chicago. I've been making some pretty tasty brews with a buddy that I'd like to share and I'd be very interested to try yours.Cheers,Eric

Not necessarily, but in general, two things will make for a better aged beer, alcohol and hop bitterness. So if you are considering no hops, I would recommend that some bittering hops
