Well by now I hope all you have your Irish Stouts conditioning for St. Patrick’s day. If not, about the only way to pull one off is to brew a.s.a.p. and artificially carbonate in a cornelius keg. There’s some new products as well as some old familiars back in stock. Many of you have been asking for the convenient three gallon glass bottles and they are back at $15.95 each. We also have the 1 liter EZ cap bottles back in at $3.50 each or $19.95 per case of six. The new copper ale shirts are in at $9.95 and they look great! These new shirts are done by Paul Elder the same artist that did our yellowtail shirts. They feature the Point Loma lighthouse atop the majestic Point Loma cliffs along with our familiar sextant logo. Bottled Yellowtail Ale is now available our store as well as local supermarket, bars and liquor stores around town. The book everyone has been talking about, Clone Brews is back in! It has dozens of recipes that mirror favorite microbrewed beers. We have a few 7.75 and 15.5 gallon brewpots available. These have spigots in the bottom and come with lids. They are old bung sided beer kegs that have been outfitted with spigots, handles and lids, all for just $99.95.

HOP RHIZOMES

We will soon have hop rhizomes for sale.  These are the root cuttings that allow you to plant your own hops.  We figure we will have them in about one month and we will carry about 10 varieties. I will send out an email as soon as they arrive with pricing and varieties.

We will have the beginner / intermediate class Thursday 3-25-99 from 6:00-7:30 p.m. right here at Home Brew Mart. The class is free and covers brewing with malt syrups and steeping grains, adding hops and bottling.  Always call the day before the class to confirm the schedule. (619) 295-2337
