Using Chinook
Been using Chinook pellets (11.9%) for the past half dozen batches - seems fine to me. Switched off from Bullion which was about the same Alpha, but the Bullion gives a higher "pucker" factor.

Ah, Barley
Fitz, Some twenty years ago my late father-in-law sublet some land in Prince Edward Island, Canada for... Yup, a farmer to grow barley. Easier to grow than weeds and better looking, too!

A hint
I was reading the directions for making bread and the suggestion was to use beer in place of water - there was an emphasis on porter and stout. Tried two loaves with a homebrew IPA and it came out quite good.

Stopped using it
I was putting maple syrup in my Extract brews 15 minutes to go in the boil. No problems w/taste, etc. What I did find was that it would give me a headache - switched out the syrup for brown sugar and the problem was gone. This, by the way, was done by consuming similar quantities. Paul A bad homebre...

Happened to me, too!
As it turns out this problem did not happen to me until I got my own fridge. I'd try leaving them in a warmer place for a couple of weeks and see if the yeast has "awakened". If not, you can read down a few messages to see what others have done or you can mix some flat beer with carbonated...
