Once we're official we'll have to get you some samples to taste (and hopefully serve). Hi Michelle – thanks for the reference (georgia organics)…we’ll definitely take a look at them.

You get a much milder flavor from the base and can then let the accessory malts do the work. I have a slight bias against the flavor of organic 2-row though - it just imparts its own flavor that I can't always get behind. Since the USDA didn't change its regulations on percent of organic ingredients, you'll be able to use non-organic hops if you're only going for USDA organic certification. Best of luck - its a noble cause and I have proof that it can be done well. I’d suggest using organic pilsner malt instead of 2-row.

It's not an easy feat, I've been interviewing a couple of organic brewers on my site, and it sounds like the way to go is to somehow get in contact with some local organic farmers. I've been trying to brew my homebrews organic, and its been a process to change my recipes over. In the end I think it'll be worth it, and its a good business plan, especially if there are no others in Georgia. Salud! The Bearded Brewer beardebrewing.org Great to see you guys going organic!
